Live $2-$5 Semi deep against an idiot who barely knows the rules
Ok, Live $2-$5 game, $200max local B&M.
My stack: $850 Villain's stack: $475 Table as a whole is pretty loose-passive. We're down to 7 players at our table. Villain sat down about 45 minutes ago, and he's a complete idiot. He tries to check preflop every hand, until the dealer reminds him he cannot. He has been drinking the whole time too. Villain just took down a monster pot with J7o rivering 2pair. He's a loosie goosie and, like i said, barely knows the rules. I'm in the SB with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Villain is on my left in the BB. 4 limpers to me, I complete in the SB. Villian (still stacking chips) looks at his cards and checks in the BB. Flop ($30) 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. First to act, I bet $30. Villain calls. MP calls. Turn ($120) A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I bet $60, Villain grabs a bunch of chips with each hand, and puts it in the middle. It amounts to roughly $200. MP folds and the action is on me. I push. All comments appreciated. What's your opinion of my flop lead into 5 other players instead of going for a check-raise? What's your opinion of my turn action? Thanks, KoW |

Re: Live $2-$5 Semi deep against an idiot who barely knows the rules
You are only behind 5 hands on the turn and you have a decent number of redraws against all of them. Against a ridiculous player like this, there is no way you can lay this down, and given that, pushing is your best option. I like it. As for leading into the flop I like that too, although it might depend on the stack sizes of your likely bettors (which keep in mind might not happen in an unraised pot, which would suck). If a check raise all in will look natural I'd be more inclined to go for that, however a check raise for half your stack leaves you in a very awkward position if a blank hits on the turn and you're first to act. I like the lead because if it gets raised you can push allin on top of that. Well played hand all around.

Re: Live $2-$5 Semi deep against an idiot who barely knows the rules
The pot isn't big enough for you to check-raise all-in, so it's better to bet out and push if you get raised.
