I've not visited this site in over two years, have no idea how many of the "old guard" I knew still frequents this forum. Anyway....
Other than sporadically playing a little against AI on a CD-ROM poker game, and playing the EXTREMELY rare nano buy-in sng (usually NL) on Stars, I basically haven't played poker in ~4-5 years. So I'm sure there's a mountain of rust on my game; please help me look pretty again by going over some [probably very basic] HH's with me.
Last I posted here, proper posting etiquette was generally to post just a single hand to a thread, so that's what I'm going to do (even though some might be pretty basic, not a lot to delve into); sorry if I flood the page with 3 or 4 hh's in the next day or two.
Can't seem to get converter to work, but I'll try to make it readable....
Reads
CO: is pretty fishy. Posts early from any position when he arrives at a table, VPIP is probably ~45% or thereabouts. **
Had yet to see him raise (in somewhere between 40-70 hands played with him); he once only cc'ed my HJ open on the CO with AKo.*** Does fishy things post-flop like donks flops when he's got something, just calling HU ip with tpwk on dry boards, etc.
SB: Not a terrible player--->Generally comes in for a raise when he's playing, have seen him iso reraise (though not sure if he does so consistently), probably not playing more than 35% of pots, consistently cbets flop HU, etc.
Poker Stars $0.05/$0.10 LHE 6M
Hero is on HJ with 9
9
.
PF: MP folds.
Hero raises to $0.10. CO raises to $0.15. BTN folds.
SB caps to $0.20. BB folds.
Hero....????
Assuming CO will call, I'm getting 5.5:1 on a call (not counting rake). Given above reads, what do you think?
pp's flop a set about 1/8 of the time, and it likely gets paid post-flop, though always the chance you flop a set and still lose [big] by the river. I seem to recall looking at ~5.5:1 as the rough benchmark pot odds to make set-mining reasonable, though maybe I mis-remember. Thanks in advance....
