Insanity check

Opponent is a tight player trying to play solid, quite possibly one of you guys. Over the 170 hands I have on him he's a 19/8/2.3 if you like numbers.

Partypoker 10/20, 5-handed

Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero raises, 2 folds, SB calls, BB folds

Opinions about this?

If you think he's betting for value, why call all the way?
If you think he's not, why don't you raise?

What are your reasoning behind your play?

I don't understand the turn call.

I thought the whole point of keeping numbers was so you know what to do with hands like these? Against a random guy hands like these are super annoying, but against a tag can't you just fold the turn? If he has 57s or something stupid, that's life.

What hands could he have that would make me want to fold the turn? I think he very rarely has a 6 here.

low pocket pair, if he's passive preflop (looks like he is) TT-22 A4o A4s A6o A6s, sometimes you can probably add 54s 65s 76s and other suited one gaps

Anders_G · #7 08-24-2005, 05:52 AM

If you think you're ahead why don't you raise to protect your hand?

A high? a low pocketpair?

Fabian · #9 08-24-2005, 05:53 AM

I don't think I'm ahead most of the time. Do you?

A tight player is either semi-bluffing or betting for value b/c he thinks he's winning right? There's not many semi-bluffing hands he could have, so he probably has a pp, a 4, or maybe a good Ace. Sure every now and then he has 89o or something, but K high is no A high, and on this dry board I'm more likely to give him credit for something. I may be misunderstanding, though, but isn't 19/8 extremely tight for 6max?
