preflop decision, 5-5NL

[howzit]

game is getting into high gear.

TAG: $350
LAG1: $2200
LAG2: $1200
Me: covers

somewhat tight player limps UTG, LAG raises to $60, super LAG reraises to $200.

I pick up Ah Kh in the BB. How many of you plan to play this hand in this spot?

[maranello11]

go all-in

[maranello11]

ok, ok

either raise to 500 or dump it pre-flop. Lots of action left behind you to just smooth call 200 with AK

[Allinlife]

folds

Fold. What flop other than all hearts will you feel comfortable with?

Did you mean 5-10 or is it 2-5? If it is $5 BB then the raises are stupid big and I would fold. If it is $10 BB then the raises are stupid big and I would fold. Looks like good game selection though.

I'm pretty sure he meant 5-5... just a guess.

I fold here without a better read than "super LAG"; specifically, postflop play?

[howzit]

this is live game and blinds are 5-5. avg. open raises go from $30-50.

Folding first, then raising to $1000 to put super LAG all-in.

UTG'll probably call off w/any ace or decent pair. Also, first raiser's stack size is troublesome.

I folded w/out much fanfare.

I've spent many hours w/super LAG and know he'll fire w/anything on all streets. We've gone to showdown w/a pair of threes as the winning hand.

All the money made against him is from playing position. His preflop reraises are usually reserved for big aces and pocket pairs (22-QQ). He's prone to smooth-call KK/AA. Also, he rarely plays a weak ace so if I do flop an ace, i'll get zero action unless he has AK/AQ.


I forgot to add one big thing, super LAG is stuck about $2k in this game. He's looking to get his money in.

normal LAG, haven't spent any time w/him. UTG has very short stack, not worried.

Well I assumed it was on-line and 4-handed. If this in fact a full ring game this becomes a much easier fold.

If people are seriously opening for $50 this game is damn juicy.
