So in your case your not going to showdown very often and when you do your winning a very high percentage of the time. What that can mean is your playing pretty tight on later streets(.ie giving people to much credit). Your stats are the complete opposite of oly's lol. It hard to say without any further info though.
I'm 15/12 in FR, so I suppose I'm on the looser end of the "tight-aggressive" spectrum.
As for more info...
I tend to fold My top pair, weakish kicker hands( especially OOP) when nits/ tags double barrel
for example, if we're 9 handed on a FR table, and a player with a UTG percentage of like 9 percent( 22+, AJo+, AJs+) raises UTG.
His cbet is like 70% and his turn CB is like 50%.
Then I cold call with AQs from the CO.
the flop comes A
5
T
( pot
$1.50). Let's say he c bets like 70% of pot, I call because I suspect he would be cbetting his Ax hands, and nutty TT, 55 hands to build a pot. Also, he has some bluffy, baby pairs and 77 in his CB range. I suspect he would x/ back KK,QQ,JJ,99.88 because the A
scares him. I'm ahead of that range so I call.
Lets say if the turn is J
(
pot $3.60) and he bets fairly large, like 80% pot. Now I have a problem. The pot has ballooned to
6.48, and if I call the $2.88 on the turn the pot is going to be $9.36, and I'm going to have 20.32 left. I don't know if he's even double barreling with AQ in this spot, especially if the flush card comes in. I'm behind his betting range here IMO, unless he has some random bluffs here( like inadvertantly turning a hand like KK into a bluff), which I don't know if he does. Should I be calling in this marginal spots like this hoping to see SD?
Alot of times I just fold this hand, but its twice as worse when a fish cold calls the UTG raise. Now if I over call, the pots going to be even bigger if he double barrels, . I guess maybe I should be thinking about 3B isolating the fish and turning my hand into a bluff vs the TAG that raised UTG so I avoid situations like because I have a hand I NEED to be playing vs the fish
I'm going to dig through my PT4 database and see if I can find any examples of cold calling raises with hands like AQs,AJs, AQo, AJo. I tend to fold these hands unless a fish cold calls the UTG raise.
Also, other examples of TP hands that I fold on the turn/river.
