I normally toss this hand into the muck pre-flop, but considering my image and the fact that once in awhile it can be slightly beneficial to mix up one's play I decided to open.
Why is it beneficial to mix up your play against calling stations?


I think villains range on the river is stronger than people think. I'm throwing in some QQ, JJ, AK, AQ, and AJ in addition to AT and A8. Some players even call flop c-bets with garbage like A9 or even something as weak as A5. KQ or KJ wouldn't surprise me. We're up against calling stations and calling stations tend to get really passive when another player takes a line like raise PF, bet flop, and bet turn when the ace shows up.

always folding pre at 1/2. i would say you shouldn't have to mix up your play too much at 1/2. keep that tight image for your hopefully aggro side postflop. Especially since a lot of the table is made up of loose passives. Also, utg w/76, if you do make it to showdown you will have to show that you played a 76o utg. My first thought was that this was in fact a rare opportunity for a triple B but, then again its 1/2 with a villan that has called 2 previous streets imo players at 1/2 generally get too sticky to bluff so at a higher level like 2/5 i might try something like that, but at 1/2? nah. you can find better spots with this lineup.

Raising with 760 utg is absolutely terrible. Even worse to continue against two opponents OOP. Wait for a better situation. UTG with connected trash is an auto fold.

You should have given up preflop, flop, and turn. I guess you have nothing to lose by the river, as played. You might as well bluff at it since you have zero showdown value. In most cases, it looks like you just lit $250 on fire.

No one cares about your image at LLSNL. Play optimal EV.
