Q9s in SB - Reads question.

JoshuaD · #1 10-26-2005, 03:43 PM

I'm in SB at a 6 handed 5/10 6m table. I just sat about an orbit ago.

It's folded to the button who's got LPP stats after about 100 hands. I don't know the guy though, just mined stuff. I haven't seen him do anything at this table.

He raises, I've got Q9s in the SB. What's my move and why?

Fold because he's got you crushed most of the time.

fold because your hand sucks?

really though, OOP, against a raise, and the small 5/10 blind structure making otherwise marginal calls slightly -EV pushes it to a fold for me.

and if we're three betting then I really don't like it cause now we're up against a loose player out of position with (a weak) Q high.

also we can't ignore the times BB will get involved.

Fold because you are OOP with almost no showdown value against a guy who probably likes to call down.

Cool. For some reason I had to do a double take here.

What's the worst you guys are 3-betting?

I think I'm too tight in the SB, but I think 77, ATo, A9s, KJs, and KQo are probably the lowest I'd go against this dude. depends on exactly how 'LP' he is preflop, I suppose.

Depends on your read. SInce you don't have one. . .

Against an unknown, maybe A5s+, A7o+, KT+, QJ+, and maybe all the way down to 22+ although probably more like 44 or 55+. I'm an idiot though, don't listen to me. I probably tighten up these standards against this guy - LPPs in position suck to play against. They never fold, so you have to hit and you can't get a whole lot of value out of them because they won't raise you.

What do you do here against a more aggressive opponent? Say someone who is 40/20 with an atsb of 35-40%. I've been calling more against this opponent.
