Hey all, tourny player here who plays cash once in a while. I play for fun and probably play a little too aggro generally.
Have a hand from borg I just wanna make sure is ok to put stacks in. So at 1-2 I take my 300 dollar initial buy in down to 240 by playing aggro and have a laggy image. I was by far most aggro player at table. Hand goes down like this, full ring and 2 limps, mp player makes it 12 (black male who has been tag and a seeing s lot of action post flop). I pick up kk from lp and bump it to 36. Folds to tag and he just rips his stack in after thinking for 10-15 seconds. I call knowing he’s prolly got it(he had roughly 300-400 starting hand). I call and he tables the AA and we lose. Do I ever fold here? I’m pretty sure the answer is no ha. He wasn’t an old man who was super nitty so I almost never can find a fold here. Thanks for thoughts.
Also is 1-2 supposed to be super easy to beat? I ended up buying in for 200 more and spun it up to 780. My last few cash games at borg, I’ve ran over table and prolly have won 3-4 last 1-2 sessions there and just wondering if this is running extremely good(I say yes most likely). I tend to play super aggro and will iso raise limpers when in position (say 2-3 limpers, I make it 15-20 pre and c bet most flops and only get resistance when they actually make a hand). I find c betting super effective as most 1-2 players play so face up. I generally Cbet much less often if the pot is multi way and generally focus on c betting when in position as to make it difficult for players to continue. Thanks for thoughts on this.
I’m going to say I’ve ran well and have been lucky to not get resistance most likely. I feel I play way too aggro in cash (a super high variance style). I tend to show bluffs a lot to get a laggy image as I’m pretty nitty preflop.... only
Raising (never limping) and sticking to a top 10% hand opening and throwing in suited connectors and maybe connected hands like 9-10off. Just wondering if a nititer style should be employed to lower variance as I feel I’ve made solid hands so prolly would get crushed if I haven’t been so lucky in spots. I tend to try to bloat pots over limpers to isolate players into seeing a flop headsup with semi big sizing. I feel most players love to see a flop but will almost always muck to a Cbet if they don’t hit a flop with atleast top pair of mid pair on the board.
