Default 1/2 NL - Hero@SB: $180 AhAs (Flop Kh Kd 4s) Badguy@BB: $170 (POT $74)

This may be one of those incredibly obvious hands but I am new and I'm not sure if it is obvious to me...

<u>Live 1/2 NL - River Rock Casino ... Richmind B.C</u>
10 Players

The table comprises of 2 or 3 regulars and at least 4 that are waiting to play the 3/6 NL; which at this casino is the $1000 Max Bet aka "Biggest Game" available. 2 of the regulars were loose and aggressive, the other 2 regulars were known around as strong players. There were around 2-3 calling stationish players, never raise with their best hands so you don't know WTF they have but if they call a big bet I am pretty sure they have something good. The rest were unknown, either because they just sat down or not played enough hands to make a guess.

In this hand I went heads-up against a new player; an older chinese gentleman (60-70) not recognizable as a regular (but I am new to NL at this casino) but looked comfortable and seemed nice. He bought in for $200 (Max buy-in) and already pulled the All-in trigger twice taking uncontested pots of around $50-$70. I think he is capable of pushing without the nuts and will test you if he believes he has you beat.

I have been tight. Every pot I've taken has been with high pairs or AK-AJ type holdings.

<u>Preflop - Hero@BB: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Stack: $212</u>
5 callers, SB raises $32, BB calls, 5 callers fold
Total Pot: $74

<u>Flop - Heads-Up against BB</u>
SB checks, Villian bets $30, SB raises All-in, BB calls...
Total Pot: $424

Pretty obvious? How did I do... Correct or incorrect?

Were you SB or BB, OP claims both? Might wanna put the board cards in the post too.

OK, well preflop raise is freaking huge. If you get called while raising 16x bigblind, sure, why not, but in the typical online 1/2 game you'll kill all action. If this game is so loose that you get called by a wide range of hands, I would love to be in it.

Checkraise all in on the flop seems like it might possibly let him get away from some low pairs, so I'd rather lead, and maybe checkraise turn when he's truly committed. Leading also might get him to bluffraise all in.
