My first NL hand post!
I've played very little NL and I haven't read much either, so I'm just trying to make stuff up as I go. I decided to screw around at a $25 Party NL table for fun.
Villian is 48/25/<=1.00 over about 25 hands. So far he's shown down a few K-rag hands and a pair of sevens, all of which he raised too much preflop. He's taken weird shots at some pots. So far I hadn't played many hands at the table at all, and I had folded most of them right there. I decided to get a bit frisky and only call the raise in hopes of not scaring him off. In hindsight, I'm not sure exactly how much of a +EV move this is. In limit, I would almost never consider only calling. Here, though, I hoped to induce a steal attempt. How valid is this? Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) converter UTG ($33.25) UTG+1 ($41.1) MP1 ($8.3) MP2 ($25) MP3 ($24) CO ($10.1) Hero ($25.4) SB ($19.25) BB ($40.65) Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.1. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to $3</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero calls $3, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>. Flop: ($6.35) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $3</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to $6</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $15</font>, UTG+1 calls $9. Turn: ($36.35) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> UTG+1 checks, UTG+1 calls $7.40. River: ($43.75) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Final Pot: $43.75 (I pushed my last $7.40 on the turn when he checked to me.)

Re: My first NL hand post!
I can't think of many things more +EV than getting all your money in with Aces. Which you did.
Given your description of the villian, besides not raising preflop, this seems fine.

Re: My first NL hand post!
Re-raise preflop. I only like the smooth call line if the guy is an absolute maniac and is likely to bluff off his whole stack if I just call. Against a normal PP guy (and this guy has almost stereotypical numbers) just re-raise. If he folds to your re-raise preflop, his cat must've jumped on his mouse hand because it was surely an accident.

Lucky of me to find someone so giving. [ QUOTE ] If he folds to your re-raise preflop, his cat must've jumped on his mouse hand because it was surely an accident.

I tripled up in 45 minutes.. felt great after 10,000 hands of breaking even at 1/2 limit. Certainly a fun change of pace besides.

Re: My first NL hand post!
Limit is for Asian women...not strong boilermaking men who run a fine spread offence under the greatest offensive mind the b10 has seen in decades..
Yeah limit blows unless you are 24 tabling 1-2 with PT+ BELLS AND WHISTLES...grinding out a buck an hr at each table...unfortunately that sounds like work to me.
