Why would you want to leave the table with the bb being a station? I can see if the sb was too, but I love when the BB is a station cause he'll be most stationy out of the BB and I'll always have position on him.

K2o and 63s are some pretty crap hands. But, I with futuredoc. With a complete calling station I'd rather have the hand that has some high card value. Against people that can fold, i want the hand that gives us more semi-bluffing potential like 63s.

Basically, if I have a very bad player in the BB when I have the Button. I want to play lots of raised post with the villain.

This seems fine. I'd over limp a lot of unsuited connectors and one gappers as well.

When the game gets deeper though, I tend to play SCs more aggro in position for a couple reasons. One, they play well post flop and will give you lots of semi-bluffing opportunities and second, I don't want to get stacked by Axs of the same suite.

The obvious answer is to fold. With no history, I can't really see shoving there. Looks like a blocking bet, but it can also be just a donk that doesn't know how to size his bets.

Why are you over potting it pre ip?

Slim: As played I could see villain pairing his Js -- without any read on him I'd probably just fold.. no way of knowing whether he'll have the sense to fold his J for $50 more

Slim I don't really like three betting pre and I hate the sizing if you make it 9 that is pot.
I would check back that flop some percent of the time because it crushes his range.
Once I get to the river you can only really rep straights and I guess JJ and weird AJ, TJ, 9J. The thing is if you can shove TJ on the river you can't really bluff here because that means he is going to have one pair and call with it.l I think he is making stupid blocker with like QJ or spades enough to make it okay, but reads would be nice and at 100nl making complex bluffs vs. unknown is probably bad since people don't like folding.

The small blind plays 29/9. The big blind plays 43/20. All players fold to you on the button.

In this theoretical situation, you have a choice of your cards - you can either have (a) K2o or (b) 63s. Which do you choose? (or option C - it doesn't matter 'cause you fold either way)

I would normally choose option C and fold them both.

If the blinds were tighter I would fold K2o and raise 63s, unless I had been abusing the hell out of my button, in which case I would just fold them both.

Karp, be careful using stats like 93% folds to 3bet. You first need to separate folds to 3bets into 'folds to 3bets OOP' and 'folds to 3bets IP' the two drastically different types of 3bet pots come up infrequently enough that you really need a few thousand hands to start getting a good idea of a player's actual range.

dsd,

you've said you've got a big hand at every opportunity, and everything points to villain having a bigger hand. so fold - i don't think villain does that with KT or 9T as much as trips.

Dammit I was on my way to the biggest thread in 2p2 history (by like 2012). Bastards. You might at least put a link to the old one at the top of this one, in case people want to study up or something.

An 18/10/1.4 player could play AQ that way. You're only a 56/44 dog to {77,JJ,QQ,KK,AQ,QJ}. His play looks strong, but it could also be a decent draw like KT some of the time as well. I can't really think of a turn card where I'm getting away. I can't really put a hand in his range that folds to a push that might continue to bluff later in the hand if you just call. SB always has something stupid. Uh... I hate cash.

BTN is a nitty regular: 17/13/3.9 over 441 hands and I don't have any specific notes on him raising flops light. Note we're 150 BB deep to start. If we're 100 BB deep, I just shove the flop.

Yeah, and he's tight and he's somewhat passive and you've got another 90bbs or so behind.

shove it anyway, or raise/call it or whatever. He has a set so much more often than anything else and too many turn cards will let him consider getting away from it.
