So, as some of you may or may not know, I play a lot of 1/2 at my local casino. I consider myself to be a pretty bad player but I try to put some thought behind my plays. While I play purely as a hobby, I still take my gaming seriously.
An interesting hand cropped up at one of my sessions last week that got me thinking about ranges.
I had K
K
on the BTN with ~$300 behind. It folded to the CO who limped. This V limps a ton and plays a lot of hands. I have very rarely ever seen him be aggressive and he usually c/c a lot. He has about ~$240 behind.
I raise it up to $10. The SB calls, the BB folds, and the limper calls. The opponent in the SB limps a lot and is capable of bluffing. He has about $140 behind.
The flop was 3
3
6
. The action checks to me. Since I flopped an overpair and there is a flush draw out there, I feel like I should be putting money in to charge draws. Any of these opponents could have a 6 or having something like 45o so I should begin charging them. I put in a half pot bet of $15.
The SB folds and the V in the CO min-raises me and makes it $30.
So, at this point, I am trying to figure out if I should continue or not. I have watched a lot of videos and they talk about how if you are at the top of your range, then you should continue and if you are at the bottom of your range then you should fold.
But, what would be considered the top of my range here? I obviously continue if I have pocket 6's or pocket 3's. But, what about overpairs? I could fold 7's, 8's, 9's, 10's, and even maybe J's. Q's? A's? What about non-paired hands? I would obviously continue with either a call or a raise if I had A
X
. But, what about AKo? How does the K
being in my hand factor into his raise? Does that mean he most likely is not bluffing with a flush draw?
I have not seen this player make raises like this very often over a six hour session. Could it actually be conceivable that unless I have pocket 6's or pocket 3's, then I should *ALWAYS* fold since it appears that V's re-raising range is always for value?
