1/2 at an action table. $10- $16 seems to be the preflop raise range every hand.

Hero $300 UTG +2 - 20s African American female. Seen as very conservative. Makes most of her raises post flop if hits.

V1$220 MP -30s Caucasian male. Tends to raise to $10 preflop for most of his hands but when faced with a 3 bet or a donk bet on the flop, he tends not to stay.

V2 $250 HJ MAWG new to table. First hand

V3 $160 CO 50s African American male. The dictionary of a Calling station. He had to rebuy several times as he cant seem to let go of hands.

V4 $400 UTG 60s Italian Man. He is tight aggressive. He started off short stack. Won his big pots by boating up three times and one set.
He tends to make plays when he has a good hand.

V5 $300 UTG +1 30 Caucasian man. Very aggressive. Hero knows of this player. He plays poker full time and plays post flop well.


Hero is given K A

V4 v5 limp, hero limps her hand as well.

V1 bets $10

V2 v3 snap call

V4 reraised to $70

V5 reluctantly folds

Hero???

Hero feels her hand is extremely under represented but at the same time there are 3 people to act after her and one of them is most likely to shove all in.

Thoughts on all streets

Raise pre flop every single time. AKs is way too strong to be limping and we lose a lot by just limping. As played, shove. I'm not super enthusiastic as limp rr tends to be pretty nutted, but I gotta think he's wider than just AA and KK here.

A TAG limp RR I would just let it go and be happy you lost the absolute minimum when most people would have probably lost their entire stack. In these in between situations where I just have an "ok" hand I look at the amount I have invested and tend not to risk my entire stack on cards we are never going to be a favorite with.

It sucks folding a sexy hand and double sucks when we see the limp RR guy wasn't as strong as we thought but overall I think folding is the best play.

I dont mind limp RRing anything if its an aggro table and I know people behind me are likely to raise. I never open limp but UTG created this spot for H.

Yeah vs a tight limp rr i just let it go

Raise pre 1st time. Not a good spot for limp r/r if there is even ever a good spot. As played prolly fold as a standard but wouldn't mind getting it in here vs this guy specifically.

I don't think OP was planning to limp/reraise to be honest. OP, were you?

Raise first in. Now, I don't mind folding. You're probably not the gambling kind, in which case you have no real incentive to flip (at best) for stacks here with only 2 invested so far.

But whatever you do, don't call. If you don't want to fold, then shove.

Raise yourself, overlimping here is pretty terrible.

AP, I fold vs. a TAG l/rr.

I'll also note that the only time I ever saw a bluff limp/rr in the last half year of playing was me. Not once have I seen someone else limp/rr light and get caught or show.

I call the 70 and hope the rest of them go all in I'll gamble with the 300 with AKs gladly. If the old Italian man is winning sets with AA/KK then I would put him in the OMC camp and likely fold. There are 3 codgers at my casino I fold AKs to as they never ever raise with it which puts me at a big disadvantage to a raising range consistently of only QQ+

I actually was planning on limp r/r I felt I was deep enough to do that and the type of players who were in front of me would narrow down from 5 callers to one, two or none. When V4 utg rereaise, I did not expect that it changed my thought process

I almost never limp/raise, but now that I'm here, I raise/gii vs. V4.

Edit: just read other responses. We block AA/KK, although it's very possible he has it. The guy who raised to $10 does it often, one snap caller is new and the other is weak. V4 should be limp/rr much wider than AA/KK/QQ. And, our limp/raise would look even stronger, so he might fold JJ/QQ.

Folding is OK, but V4 is described as tight/aggressive, not OMC. He should know when to take advantage of these spots, and this is the perfect spot with a wide range.

OP, has V4 limp/raised before?

At this stack depth, I am shoving based on description of the guy you mentioned. Totally possible he has QQ-TT in his range. If he short bought, he's likely to profit protect and fold to your shove.

Open to $15 pre.

AP, call. There are better spots in 1/2 games than flipping for 150bb when thinking about shoving. Doubtful he is sticking it in w/ worse than H's hand. Folding is very bad imo, we have so much equity against V's range here.

We currently have 1BB invested and UTG limp/rr almost certainly doesn't have AQ or worse in it. Hes put in 18% of his stack with a super strong line. Im making an easy fold with nothing of ours in the pot.
