Hand1: Without a read I fold that preflop. With a read (that says villain raises junk), I raise to $7.

Hand2: If villain is passive I fold this turn. If he's aggressive it's ok I guess.

Hand3: What do you want to accomplish with the flop min-raise? I think you either have to raise more on the flop or fold to the turn push. Or just flat call the flop and re-evaluate on the turn.

You need reads.

FreakDaddy · #3 05-12-2005, 08:13 PM

Reads needed for all 3 hands. You're not going to get solid advice without them. Were these played at the same table btw? At least hands 2 and 3 look like they were.

I'm assuming you're talking about hand 1. You fold AQo to a mini-raise. Bad advice. Re-raise and use the position to your advantage.

Hand 1 was the only one he had written when I made the comment. Fixed it now.

You are correct, I didn't spot that it was only a min-raise. I still raise to $7 if I want to raise, but you're right; now I need a read to fold it, raise becomes default.

hands 1 and 3, villain is a LAG, hand 2 villain is very tight with 0% pfr. but i only had about 40 hands at the moment so i didnt have much reads. but i was just so suprised that he had AK. i expected to outkick him.

hand1: not much reads besides villain being a little laggy.

hand 2: villain is very tight. pfr of 0% over 40+ hands about. but he has an agression factor of 5.12 . i did not think he had the hand that he showed. i was very suprised he limped/called me with it. ok leme just say it. he limped AK!!! so he outkicked me and took the pot.

hand3: ok only reason i reraised is because i was known to do a follow up bet every time i raise pfr. so i thought he put me on 2 high cards and min raised me to see what i do. i min raised to see if he pushes all in. i had position so it doesnt make sense for him to call then push all in with a dead card on turn. just didnt make sense to me. was i correct to assume this? i think he is a lag but didnt have much hands for him. wish this helps.

Check behind on the turn. -Had I bet the turn, and gotten min-raised I'd fold.

Fold to the C/min-raise ... more often than not, it means a set ... could also be a limped AK from EP

anyone else?

Hand #1: Preflop is bad. Don't reraise with AQo, and don't minraise. Flop is alright. Turn I don't like, I'd probably fold to his minraise. I assume he has some small Ace for two pair or a set.

Hand #2: Don't make it a habit of raising KQ and certainly don't call raises with it. I'll probably call his minraise, but I'm folding for sure on the turn. What are you beating? Unless this guy is the biggest moron in the world, nothing.

Hand #3: I'd make it $7 to go here. Why are you underbetting so much? Just make it $13-$14. Quit minraising. I think you just overplayed your overpair into a set. There is only one other overpair that you're beating, and it's unlikely that Villain is pushing this hard with Tens. I guess you could hope he has 98o and you sucked out on the river.

Hand 1 - at the point you get minraised, you appear to be in real trouble. You have to figure you're beat unless you catch a Q. If you call that based on implied odds or the heat of the moment, once he goes all in, I think you're safe to get out. I don't think the bet on the turn was bad - after all it's what told you what he had.

Hand 2 - same deal after the minraise. You just let the opponent take control, and end up as a calling station with top pair. If you think it's best, push it back at him on the flop. If you don't, I think you've got to get away on the turn. I'd have likely reraised him on the flop hoping for KJ or K10. Again, if he came back at me, I'd know exactly where I stand, and could get away pretty sure i was beat.

Hand 3 - I actually like the flop reraise. The same people saying you overplayed your J's would be telling your opponent, if he had AA, to get away. Once he calls that, you've got to think 2 pair or a set (or maybe AA or similar). Once he goes all in, I'm convinced - lay it down.

In a nutshell - I'm a bigger fan of using reraises to punish semibluffers (while sometimes being one myself) and to test if I'm beat. If someone can semibluff/bluff call a reraise, then push you all in and get you to fold, let 'em have your money and go after someone else.
