Interesting spot - 5/10 live

lapoker17 · #1 09-30-2005, 06:03 PM

The lovely Hollywood Park. 4 handed. 5/10. UTG is a Russian guy - complete maniac psycho - a limit player - off the wall. Button generally knows the game and tries to play well, but he's a loser. He is also very fat. So...

I ($1100) am dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in BB. UTG psycho ($550) raises to $40 as he does every hand. Large button ($1200) calls, I call.

Flop K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I check, Psycho checks (very odd), Button makes it $100.

I call, Psycho pushes, button calls. I....

BTW/ im putting psycho on AA and fattie on KQ... maybe they have sets, but then you just rebuy.

Re-raise all-in. Flat calling here gives away the strength of your hand as much as pushing does, and it gives him a chance to suck out.

$1650 in there already. Stick your remaining $550 in there. When you win, buy the fat guy some wings and a cheeseburger. Buy the maniac a shot.

Push your chips in and then throw a ham and cheese on rye in the direction of the fat guy. It will distract him long enough for him to think your 2 pair beats his set of 3s

unless you know that psycho will only check top set on the flop, you have to go all in and hope that he thinks his AA or AK is unbeatable.

edit/ oops the button is the full stack with you. hrm his flat call of the psycho push might be him trying not to shut you out and wanting action. its still push or fold and given your reads

Diablo said "there is $1650 in there already, push your remaining $550 in".

On the flop there was $125 in the pot. Button bets $100, hero calls, psycho pushes in his remaining $510, button calls $510 and hero does what?

The pot is $1345 and hero still has $960 left....yes? Fattie called pshychos all in...he didnt push in also.
