Live 20/40, everyone has overs. 9 handed.

2nd day playing with villain. I'm up about 6 racks, everyone hates me, most are too loose in every way, villain and one other get it. Super Aggro likes to cap, likes to push his draws, likes to push, period. He has shown an unbelievable hatred towards money.

I find AA, both black UTG and limp. I could raise but the loose players will fold for two cold, but if they put in one they will go to a cap (Its a great game obviously).

Fold, limp, limp, folded to Super Aggro (and I do mean Super) CO raise, folded to villain in BB who calls, I 3 bet, original raiser caps, 5 to the flop.

Now its 40/80 for the rest of the way.

Flop A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I bet, call, fold, raise, call, I 3bet, four go to the turn once its capped.

Turn was a black 6.

I bet, call, raise, call, 3 bet, we got a fold, call and call.

River is the 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

check to me, I check [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img], Bet, BB raises [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img], to me.

I go into the tank, wtf can I beat, villain is staring me at all smug, I look at aggro and he is totally pissed off , I find Nirvana, I call, other guys calls.

MHIG.

Enjoy. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

If there's even a remote chance that the third player will fold a diamond here for two bets, I think you need to raise the river. Otherwise, well played. Congrats.

wtf? everyone has overs? so you mean it's a 40/80 game with 10 and 20 blinds?

[scott8]

Yep. Preflop we play 20/40, then its 40/80 after the flop since everyone had overs. I asked if we could make it 40/80 and if looks could kill. . .

I've played in games where everyone has overs before. Some people really like it. At least where I play, even though everyone has overs, the preflop round is not played in overs, so it's not just "mini-blinds"; it's a 20/40/80/80 game. I think the reason people like it is that they are loose preflop anyway, so they like the idea of it being cheap to play bad hands and look at the flop.

It's concise and totally gets the point across. Do I really need to say anything more?
