8 Handed Private Game
Very loose table, preflop openings range anywhere from 8-25 and most players are comfortable calling a single raise with almost any two cards with the exception of the villain in this hand. He has been playing tighter than most preflop and very ABC post (only committing chips when he thinks he has the goods, haven't seen him bluff yet in 3-4 hours or chase many draws). Hero has been playing TAG and been a consistent winner in this particular game.
3 limps, I look down at black aces and make it 14$, SB (Villain) calls, all three limpers call as well (hating life right now).
Pot: 72$
Flop: 9d10h2s
Villain leads for 50$, 3 folds, hero flats/raises?.
Also what kind of range can we put on villain considering it is a relatively dry board. In regard to preflop sizing, I felt that making it something like 18-22 would have had no difference in that all 4 players would have come along anyways and therefore opted for 14$. Sizing ok?
Sizing pre flop is ok, but most everybody here on this forum would tell you raise more, $18-$25.
Post flop, once villain leads into you, you can narrow his range to sets/
2pr/pair/draws. Withough knowing about your tendencies at the table and how V is aware of these (openning range pre/c bet %/ reaction to donk bets when you are the pre flop aggressor, etc) and the history/dynamic between you and V, and purley based on your TAG description of you and V, this is raise on this flop for value/ to protect against/charge possible draws/balance.
Once V leads into you, the pot is ~$122 and V has about $160 behind. If you are not willing to committ to this pot , you need to fold now which is not an option so your plan should be to get the chips in the middle ASAP. Raise to $120-140/ call a shove...or shove any turn.
