Blinds play

[Tosh]

My opponent has these stats according to PT:

{{sLA-P 25.93 7.41 H 81
CR 5.26 AF-TOT 1.8
AF-F 2.7 AF-T 1.4 AF-R 1.4
FBB 0 ASB 0 - WSD 62
WF-PF 68 WF-F 7 WF-T 2 WF-R 1}}

I have K6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the BB, at Party 5/10. SB completes, and I check.

The flop comes A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. He bets I raise and he calls.

Turn is 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], he bets I fold.

I don't speak PT but I suppose there's something in those numbers that say he's not just defending aggressively with anything.

If he's got the K you're in kicker trouble. But it seems like he could have a lot with A or K...

Looking forward to the PTers take on it.

I think this looks good.

My only question is: why wouldn't he c/r?

I'm weird about blind defense, but I'd play this hand pretty differently. I like to punish cheapo SB's who just limp in and I'd raise preflop about half the time. If I don't raise preflop, I'll usually adopt a more passive approach postflop, and just let my opponent bet into me if I have something reasonable like middle pair. There are times to raise, obviously, both for action and for hand protection and for credibility for future bluffs, but I think this is an excellent calling down flop.

Having raised the flop, I'd look him up when he bets into me, raising on the end if I improved.

So we play no streets the same? Cool. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
