Pocket queens against potential tilter

thesharpie · #1 05-12-2005, 11:15 PM

Villain is 70/9/1.2 over 65 hands. He is mostly passive but has bluffed in places, usually with a crappy pair on the turn. He tried to bluff me the previous hand when 4 to a flush fell on the turn, he lead the turn and river with a low pair and my ten high flush took it down.

I think he's on tilt due to the previous hand but I can't be sure. He raised crap UTG before. I think I have to see a showdown in case he's got some A9 or something.

Should I just call the flop and keep SB in if I plan on going to showdown?

If this were a heads up pot, I would say call all the way to the river, but you have SB to worry about, and by just calling the flop, you're giving him great odds to draw to any hand.

Once you get your OESD youre pretty much stuck in the hand and will probably have to call one on the river too, not much you can do about that.

Can we fold the turn UI if the turn was the 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]?

I would against a sane person, but I don't think I could against this guy after what happened the previous hand.

Looks good AS LONG as you think the guy is tilting or just plays like a tilter.

Against a sane person I would have to have him on AA or something. If a Ace flopped I'd be out. King - Id stay and take my lumps.

I'd play it just like you did.

I play the hand the same way. You need to push back on the flop. His betting out doesn't mean much of anything at this point. I don't really like keeping SB in on the flop. He very well could have just a pocket pair, but you don't want him sticking around with AJ, AT, or JT, and forcing him to call two cold with the possibility of a 3-bet ought to scare those hands out. Once Villain 3-bets, I think it's time to take him seriously, so call down and hope he's overplayed something.
