This is the Party 15/30 game. I.e. the aggression level is high and seats vary widely in fishiness.
The action was folded to the SB in a rare moment and he raises. The SB had not stood out one way or the other aggresion-wise but is loose. I decided from the start that I was going to not play an aggressive defense this time around as a change-up. I simply called down the whole way with a board that had one broadway card (a king). Thoughts on this? Especially from those with Party 15/30 experience, but all comments welcome of course. - Jim |

What did you hope to accomplish with this line? Was it a meta-game thing, or did you just get tired of moving the mouse over to 'raise' [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

3bet preflop, bet the flop, take it from there. AQ is a huge hand but slowplaying it sucks. If you really must "mix it up," smoothcall preflop and raise any flop that doesn't give you top pair (in which case I'd probably go for the turn raise). Theres no reason you should let this player see the turn without having put 4sb in unless you're pretty sure he's drawing very slim.

I think I should have posted the hand in hypothetical terms. I did only call down for metagame purposes thinking that it would give deeper credance to when I did re-steal. That and I'm most likely a 3/2 favorite coast to coast and possible a marginal coinflip dog against my opponents hands. So the call down is profitable unless I'm missing something obvious.
Afterwards I wondered about the metagame against those who looked at the hand history and doubted the play. I think it might foster increased aggression against me from those who think I was being weak. For the record, I 3-bet as much as the next guy for the most part in a blind defense with hands like Ax, two broadway cards, pockets, etc (and sometimes with nothing at all). - Jim |

[/ QUOTE ] The part you're missing is that betting every street with 7 high is not mandatory for your opponent. And the fact that your line in position heads up with AQ vs a just slightly better than random hand is +EV is not very impressive. Any line that doesn't involve folding should be +EV, and most of them more so than call-call-call-call. |
