Was playing the most aggressive game ever. Player literally have no range, they could have any 2 cards. I tightened my range to premium hands only and played them aggressively.

I'd recommend you read my previous threads of this session to get an idea of this table.

At this point, after buying in for 400, going up to 950~ and back down to 415, not in the best mood. We said we're gonna player for 5 more minutes then finish the game.

We're 6 handed and UTG (stack 1000~) straddles for 5. MP calls, and I decided to call on CO.

Literally 9/10 times I'm getting raised here with worse. BB and UTG are the loosest most aggressive players at the table, playing trash hands aggressively.

Plan was to get raised then shove to either isolate a worse hand or force the fold to collect the chips.

BB (stack 1200~) indeed raises to 70, straddler calls, MP folds and I shove 410.

On a normal game this is a terrible play. In this game I've seen these players raise 25o preflop, call 20bb preflop with offsuit connectors and so on.


What do you think of this play vs such aggressive and tbh bad players?

Aggressive but fine imo. You should be raising premiums over the straddle first time, so V will likely put you on worse than AQ and call off lighter.

This is fine, especially since it's the last hand, so the gamble will be strong in them and if you have a steaming image they might think you're FOS.

Good luck in your likely flip, and I hope you went home happy.

Felt like it doesn't really matter what I rep, I doubt those players heard of the hand rangers. Just wanted to get it in there with as many chips in the middle as possible.

I guess I should keep limp reraising these premium hands. However, if I miss the flop I wouldn't be able to call the incoming bets from V's.

Is 70 the standard raise there? If so I like your play

You said in another post you get 3-bet 9/10 times also? I'd just raise and shove over a 3-bet.

If they are aggressively raising but not aggressively 3-betting then this is better.

+1

But mostly don’t flat the nuts. You’re also in a grossish spot if one of the other players back raises first.

Yes but this last hand was 6 handed, and 1 player already folded. So if I raise and it folds to the aggressive sb+bb, this could get a rare flat/fold. If I limp, it's more likely they'll 3bet with obviously worse hands.

Maybe I should've pointed this out before, their raises usually follow 2-3 limpers.

Yes. when there's a few limpers in a straddled pot you could expect a raise of 60 or more.


I never got an answer for this in all my threads. What adjustments should I make for this game tonight? (probably same players for the most part).
I was thinking keep limp reraising my premiums. That way I could get a suited connector in there and they might be afraid to raise my limps.

As it is, I never played suited connectors cause I couldn't call huge bets preflop with em.
