Re: I felt dirty...yet good
[ QUOTE ]
Flop call can't be that bad because I never know what a Limp Reraise means. Sometimes its AA, other times its K7s. [/ QUOTE ] Unless the LRR'er is a LAG or maniac (which this guy hasn't looked like so far), it's almost always at least AK/QQ. At least, in my experience. In this instance, if the LRR'er was a TAG and had a read on Hero as TAG, too, it could be a medium pocket pair trying to isolate & create some dead money. But seriously, this is almost always a big hand. And a pretty easy flop fold.

Re: I felt dirty...yet good
That and the fact that it is an UTG LRR makes me more inclined to believe it, but I still expect garbage at least 1/3 of the time.

But a little part of me said, "small sample...you never know what these LRRs mean." Turns out the guy had AKh...ouch for him.

[ QUOTE ] But seriously, this is almost always a big hand. [/ QUOTE ] No way. Not from someone with a VPIP of 50. [/ QUOTE ] A loose/passive is even more likely to attempt a LRR here with a big hand. Why? Because he sucks at poker. Seriously, though, it could be BS (last night I had a guy who I'd seen PFR once in 50+ hands open from UTG with 36s against me, and ruin my day when he turned a straight vs. my TPTK), but in my experience almost every single time, especially vs. loose, bad players, it's legit. He saw the LRR on tv once and thought it looked cool, so now he does it every time he's got aces. If we had a stronger hand than AJs with a BDFD I could see continuing, but as it is I just don't see the point when we're so rarely going to improve enough to beat a big hand, and even more rarely going to runner-runner our way into a hand we feel comfortable raising with (i.e., implied odds).

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I think the implied/reverse implied is a really good point and makes it much closer to a fold. Without a BDFD, I would be folding this flop for sure. With it I think it's close. One reason that pushes this to a call for me is Nate's idea that the bettor might give up and stop betting, allowing us to get to showdown and win more often, maybe even unimproved. I admit though that somebody with those stats isn't giving up often.
