75 posts for: 200 BB deep, 2nd nuts, 1/3 of my stack in, should I call?

I think this thread is some sort of social experiment.

Nasty to hit the top of his range but you played the hand well.

So I had a very interesting, slightly similar hand to the one discussed here.

$2/$5 NLHE where average stacks are $900.
MP (bad rec player) limps (stack size $80). LP raises to $20 ($1,000 stack size). Hero re-raises on button to $60 with AKdd (stack size $1,600). Villain calls $60 from small blind (stack size $800). Villain is an older lady, has played extremely tight, not seen her open any hands, lead out with many bets, basically very tight passive player.

MP shoves all in for $80 (this does not re-open pot). LP folds, Hero calls, Villain calls.

Flop ($265): Qd2d3s. Villain leads out for $200.00.

What should hero do?

When you raise/bet you either need to be bluffing, or you need to have a clear idea of what weaker hands you're expecting to call. Otherwise raising is a mistake.

If you think he folds anything worse than AA, that means he calls with 66 and QQ. You're not ahead of that range. Since he probably doesn't raise 66 pre-flop you're drawing to one out against the range you gave the Villain.

If you desperately try to fold out all the hands that are behind you, you shouldn't be surprised when you're called that you're the one who is behind.
