1/2 6-max, $200 effective

villan is on all 4 of my tables. he recently sat at this one and on all others shows signs of tagginess. he opens in position/folds oop/other than that, no real specific read. but general observations = TAG.

hero shouldnt have much of an image, i double barreled another dumbass a few hands earlier though and might appear aggro.

PF: Folds to Hero who opens to $7 in CO with AA. Villan calls in the sb and calls $6, all else fold.

($16)Flop: 763

villan bets $16, Hero...?

raaaaazzzzzzeeeeee
why?
cuz u have rawkets
The only way to find out what donk bets mean is to light them up, amirite?
03-23-2008 , 10:01 PM
callllllll
why?
because hes bluffing a decent amount and i neither want to raise/fold nor raise/get it in.

what's your position pre?

I see TAGs donk into the PFA with sets/other powerful made hands (here 54s)/middlepairs/draws/very rarely air.

Given that range you're only behind 13 of his combos. Raise for value and protection here. I guess you would also pay off a shove. If villain 3bets smaller you 'll have to make a decision if he is tricky enough to be doing this with worse.

buuuuuut, he's gonna think our raise is what we're suppose to do w/ AQo, so we are outplaying him by playing straight forward.

seriously though, when a reg donks pot vs me here I will call a lot, but raising is good cuz it's a value bet. and value bets make $$. He might be getting tricky w/ TT,JJ or w/e

If he 3bets, then hmmmmmmm........then it gets icky.
03-23-2008 , 10:06 PM
I may just call since we don't know much about villain. I think if we raise and he calls or 3bets we're in a fairly awkward situation as the pot is bigger and it will be tougher to pot control. By calling we allow him bluff/v-bet worse on the turn. I wouldn't want to get it in on the flop without more info.

I raise and get it in. Pairs are hard to make- 2pr and sets even harder! Straights? Ya, right. Nearly impossible. I mean, a call isn't bad if we have any reason to think he'll continue bluffing/betting worse. But since I'd pop this flop with air I'm obviously doing it with the nizzles here.

O-man, is this on AP or somewhere else?
03-23-2008 , 10:16 PM
manu somewhere else.

bg, i think raising without having any idea what to do if he 3-bets is quite bad.

sugar,
sorry, i was the CO

well, i call of course. when people donk bet w/ sets/twoper it's usually not pot.
03-23-2008 , 10:23 PM
i should also note that this site has a 'pot' button if that has any relevance.
03-23-2008 , 10:24 PM
well i have to raise here b/c i raise donk bets like its my job (against bad players)
03-23-2008 , 10:24 PM
call. if you raise you will be getting it in vs. sets, 2 pair, str8s, and MAYBE some weird ass slowplayed big overpair. 88-99 isnt felting here and alot of ppl pop those up pre anyways. plus if he is bluffing there is not reason to stop him from 2 barreling.


TAGish players dont got nuts in non 3 bet pots with marginal overpairs so im not excited at all if he 3 bets, therefore i call.





there is obviously still alot of value in your hand though

i do too as well, but does the fact that my read of him being a tag change your decision at all?
03-23-2008 , 10:30 PM
i think raising because we think this TAG will interpret this as weakness and give us value is kind of a stretch

i call since i hate getting 3b

[x] Noisy thread
[x] Ban OP pls

In regards to the hand. You gonna check this flop behind a fair amount of time. So its both reasonable for him to want to bet with a set to get some value, with OESD, and with middle pairs, and gutshots. Now this is all reasoanble. From my experience, its mostly sets / guthsots, but these depends on a lot of things, esp table dynamics. I mean the thing is, if he is decent he is felting almost all of his range to your 3bet. Because he simply expects you to spazz out to this bet a lot of the time. Based on that I think we are getting all in. You basically hoping to make money of him respazzing your spazz. What I would look for most importantly is his W$WSF. If its in 30's I think we might be better off calling cos I dont expect him to shove over for value with 99 or rebluff with a gutshot. But if its around 45, I fist pump

It makes me more likely to call. I probably call here as well if I don't have a read on his donk betting tendencies.

call again, then prolly again

If you are calling flop and blank hits the turn we going to fold now? He has 1010 and didn'd reraise. I mean seriously.. let him continue to represent a monster.. Why would he lead into you on every street? I think he's FOS too often to ever fold.. If you are asking if you should raise I'd say no. Not many scare cards coming on the river + you scare him off too easily. The real question might be if he checks river what do you do?
03-24-2008 , 07:24 PM
call again... think the reasons why are a lot more clear here
03-24-2008 , 07:41 PM
I would raise the flop and get it in if he 3bets. If he thinks he can profitably set mine in the blinds against our CO opening range, well, gg/nh/wp/fu ******.

As played though, call turn, as likelihood of getting paid by worse if you flat flop/raise turn goes way down I think.
03-24-2008 , 08:00 PM
2h is a good card. So call again.

I think (too) that the real question is when he checks the river but thats depends a lot of the river card.
03-24-2008 , 08:07 PM
if he checks the river, 3/5 pot it.
