Eurobet 1/2 6-max overpair hand

Ghazban · #1 11-01-2005, 12:57 PM

Villain is UTG+1 and is a regular donator in this game. He always buys in for $140 (which I find odd) and plays pretty meh most of the time, losing lots of money with top pair and going for check/raises when he hits his flush draws on the river (I've seen him do this several times over the 800ish hands I've got with him). Every once in a while, he plays like somebody just poked him in the eye and goes monster aggro with some sort of semi-reasonable hand (overpair, TPTK, big draw, etc.) then chills out again. Its almost like he goes to take a potty break and has his brash and overaggressive roommate plays one hand for him while he's out.

I have K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and make it $8 to go UTG. Villain calls UTG+1, 1 fold, button calls, SB folds, BB calls. This many calls of an UTG raise is an aberration at this table as most raised pots have been contested either HU or 3-way.

Flop: T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($33)

Checked to me, I bet $30, villain pushes for $181 total and its folded back to me (I cover).

I might fold vs him if you notice him only playing aggressively into the field with 2 pair or greater though.

I would fold because he goes all-in with 2 guys to act between you too, I can't see he's not just calling here with a draw.

Thank you for bringing up this point. The fact that he raised into 3 other people tells me he either has a big made hand (set seems most likely on a board like this) or the nut flush draw. I don't see QQ/JJ making a move like this into a bunch of people. HU, its far more likely to be a hand I dominate. Good reasoning or bad?

If he's a good player that is good reasoning

These players do some weird things. Matters much more what situations he will do this type of move, opposed to how logical it is.

Some people do it only with flush draws, some people do it with small pocket pairs, others do it with really strong hands. They tend to be pretty consistent though.
