I want to go over a hand I played in Tunica back in April from the prespective of the villain. I took a line I rarely do based on some specific reads which I would like to discuss later in the thread, which will hopefully lead to me getting some answers to how some of you interpret certain bet sizes.
Only two key players in the hand:
Hero: middle position, $400, image to any paying attention is TAG, no history with villain.
Villain: On the button, $340. Comes across as nitty old man.
One limper to hero, who opens for $20.
Villain looks down at A
A
and
min raises from button to $40.
Hero calls.
Pot of $80.
Flop:
Q
10
10
Hero checks.
Villain bets $50.
Hero min raises to $100.
--If you are the villain, what are you putting the hero on at this point?
Villain calls.
Pot is at $280, villain has $200 remaining.
Turn:
6
Hero bets $200.
Villain...?
What I want to get into here is the purpose of the min raising and the bet sizing I used as the hero. ( I believe I have min raised exactly 2 times in my life, once here and once by accident a couple of years back.)
I am guessing most here as the villain fold on the min raise, and I assume raise more pre. Putting yourself as the nitty old man who loves his aces, what hands are you putting the hero on?
