The villain here is loose passive.

Against a loose passive I'm playing the same way. Calling his raise. He could have two pair or set, or maybe he was a little slow realizing he had a flush, but I don't think so.

easy..you have to call this IMO, even though you are almost certainly beat..12 to 1 on that final call...if you win one in ten of these you're ahead in long run.

I call and expect to see 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Call, you're getting 11-1 closing the action with TPTK.

You can expect to win this more than 1 in 11 times.

Posting in the dark.

I can't see any other way you could reasonably play this hand.

I call. How loose passive is he?

rafct · #8 04-16-2005, 07:59 PM

He makes a lot of coldcalls preflop and does not raise very often (I dont have PT yet..)

I play this hand the same way and call on the river, fully expecting to be beat.

PT is good. In the mean time I think you should practice taking notes. Find certain hands your opponents are playing, see what they are showing down with, and what they;ll raise with. Go through the hand histories and stuff. Sometimes I'll play without PT as practice for taking notes.
