AQs against a player who hates my guts

#1 10-28-2005, 08:18 PM

Here's the situation. This villian in this hand hates me. He's a very tight player and I have taken a couple of big pots off him. He's totally ABC, except against me. Against me he is the trickiest sob that ever lived and loose as hell. He reraised me every single time with any ace, and played his draws super aggressively. That having been said, do you play it this way?

I don't see the point of the turn raise. The way you describe him, he prolly thinks you are FOS and he is not folding a pair, and you have the second-nut non-pair hand. Let him bluff again on the river and call down.

i'm in agreeance on the turn raise- he's not laying down jack here given your description

i call down here.

Turn raise is just vast spewage. Given the read, his turn raise means one of two things:

1) Your hand is good.
2) Your hand isn't good.

[img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] You can't be sure of which because he's so tricky against you .

Just call down.

Actually, given your history, I'm not even sure you need to pay off the whole way here. If he thinks you have A-hi and he wants you to fold cuz he doesn't have anything, why would he lead the flop...I'd think he'd go for a stronger play like a c/r. Therefore, my guess is he's hit and I'd be tempted to just muck it and wait for a real hand.

so raising him once on the turn is not good?

he knows I know he's FOS if he checkraises the flop. a bet is his "strongest" play here, because it looks like he's betting and he expects me to raise. but since I know this, and I know that he knew this, the bet was actually weak to me.

your thinking too much for a very small pot.

let it go and wait for a better spot.

I'm sorry but that's just poor analysis. If you can't think like this heads up, you have a major hole in your poker game.
