I tend to call but that river bet size rarely seems like a bluff. Your best hope is he just started getting retarded with a random king worse than yours.

May I get a quick line check on this hand? I keep going thinking that I butchered it to thinking its okay. Preflop is a misclick. I hit pot and then accidently hit call. Obv its not standard.

Villain has been trying to get into tons of hands with me. Very Aggro. He has minraised my c-bet on a 765dd flop when I had 99. Then shoved turn when the 7 paired. He has raised over my c-bets when I kept whiffing a few times also. He is playing very laggy but also very well.

Glad to hear some people saying call. I'm a station so I called and was owned by AA.

Here are a few more hands from my last 2 sessions I thought were interesting.

1. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2208729 - He's 27/16/3.1 over 120 hands and has been pretty aggro both pre & post flop, 3 betting etc.

2. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2208772 - While PF might be thin I think its ok because we are soooted. Getting in on the flop: standard or spew?

3. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2208846 - The FD missed so I check-called. He has infinite river agg and loose stats with about 30VPIP but <50 hand sample.

4. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2208875 - I get to the river with an over-pair vs a station (45 VPIP over 70 hands). With half pot left I shove. Some draws missed but am I value stacking myself? How do you play it differently?

NikNik:

1. This is fine if the guy is as erratic/aggro as you say he is.
2. You're toast on the flop pretty much all the time that you get it in here. I forget if you had a read or not but the more reasonable the guy seems the more boned you are.
3. Perfect, I would have bet the river for value if it didn't come 4 to a straight but as is he's folding everything worse unless he's a massive station so checking to induce is OK.
4. It sucks, and you are valuestacking yourself for sure some of the time, but I don't think that there's any other way to play this one the way stack sizes worked out.

1/4 are fine for sure, 2 is really spewy and I'd just b/f flop, 3 is ok but I'd say I only call about half the time there.

I think preflop is a fold given your misclick, villain's line looks like a standard isolation raise (wide range) and you don't have enough implied odds to stack him if you hit a set.

I reaaaallly want to call the river - especially because your river bet is weak and could have induced him. Otherwise I think it's fine apart from the misclick.

Oh yeh and I also agree with what HKS said you should probably fold PF wide range etc normally but if he is as aggro as you say then I don't think its bad.

1. Since he's minraising he's probably dumb and will pay you if you hit on the river regardless so I would just call and C/F river if I miss - getting it in here can never be that much of a mistake though and you might even be ahead so I wouldn't worry about it. Basically I don't think you can mess this hand up any way you play it against a minraise on the turn.

2. This sucks. I don't know what I'd do especially with no reads. I think I would fold because you might only have 3 outs. I don't know why he would shove anything at all on the turn like that. Yeah I think you have to fold with no reads but this is a sweet hand to pokerstove I think.

3 & 4 are BBV, reload and run better because you hopefully didn't fold right?

Easy call. $33.25 in the pot, calling will cost you another $20.40, for a $74.05 total pot.

Since he raised to 3.5bb from UTG, odds are against him having Q7/Q6/77/66. Could likely put his range on AA/KK/AQ/KQ, or perhaps KcJc/KcTc depending on how much of a nit he truly is. Even if he did hit his flush, then you would still have proper pot odds to call him, at 38.64% chance to win the pot.

What did he end up having?

1-I only have 25 behind me when he minraised me, so if I call, I have 15 left on the river to put in. I guess I can call here cause I don't think he will fold the river to a 15 dollar bet if I hit? or is it better to just get it in on the turn? For the record I called and a blank came on the river. I c/f and he showed KK

2-Ive noticed on cake that some players like to shove their made hands for whatever reason like that. I am not sure how it is on stars or ftp though.

3 and 4- I called 3, gg boat :(, folded 4. I am playing a lot of tables so unfortunately I did not have a lot of time to think or I prob would have called 4 if I thought about it some more. Its a lot tougher having to act fast cause of the amt of tables I am playing and no reads cause I can't really watch. I like that stars feature with the extra time, wish I had it :(

77 unfortunately, I was really suprised to see it. Ive seen a few players raising pocket pairs in weird places. Had a guy raise 6x with 33 on the button in front of like 3 or 4 limpers and flopped a set. Sometime Cake really tries to get me. I always have a few hands like this every day. set vs set on the losing side. over pair on a 979 board with a guy who flops a boat(77), overpair on another 553 board and guy flops a boat(33). I did r/r from $3 to $9 or 10(at 50nl) and he still called. :(

After all that crap, I was up 5 buyins but I was running good last night despite those hands above. If I had won those it would have been even better. :)

Another thing, why does he shove his boat there? I mean, why not just let me hang myself, he has position on me. :(

I think that's just the nature of FR, people show up with much stronger hands at showdown compared to 6max. Also it's just variance if you never been on the winning side of set vs set or set vs overpair yet.

IMO the AQ hand and similar situations are not worth thinking too hard over, especially if you know for sure the other player would also go broke if the situations were reversed. Just aim to extract value from situations where other players probably can't, way more important.

1- I don't know about that hand, I am thinking your beat here. QQ and JJ would be two hands I think he would of called your r/r with. He could be getting real aggr with AJ but I don't think he would. He could of called your r/r with AA and KK trying to disguise his hand and get paid? Ive seen it done with AA and KK but I dunno, if he is pretty aggro than I would think he would of bumped you with AA and KK at least. What did he have?

2- He could be raising you with some combo hand but JQ, AK and your beat. I don't think AQ would bump you. I don't know if thats a standard or spew but I prob wouldn't play it that way but you pretty aggro :)

3- I think its a fold. I don't think he was on the flush draw, I think ghost was.

4- Maybe you could c/c if your iffy about your kings still being ahead. But if the guy was a station who was prob calling down with a mid pair or something, then I would probably lead the whole way with KK. I don't know what he would call on the river if he missed. He might only be calling that with a made hand on the river?

1- Not sure about that one, if you think he could be doing this to rep the scary board than call. He could have 2pair AK/AQ there and is trying to get you out like that but not sure. Did you call?

2- I am calling here. I think his raise is 15 more to you with about 35 in the potI think.

3- I would raise that flop.

1. I was sure he had the A:d: so I shoved it in. He made a crying call with AK no :d: . Good loving thing too cause the river was 4:d: .

2. I called here for the same reason. Pot was huge. I'm really curious as to what UTG had but he folded. It came k,4.... Lost to trip 4's. :(

3. I just called the flop because it seemed like he was just testing the waters with a hand that wasn't so happy to see an ace and I didn't want him to fold. On the turn I raised to $3.50 thinking that the board was kinda drawy and he might call or shove with a lot of hands I beat. He shoved with AK.

around and around we go
With hand one, don't you need to assume that the rest of his money is going in on the river anyway? And thus you need to treat it as if you aren't calling a $10 raise, but a $20.95 all-in? If my math is right, you'd be contributing 29% of the pot ($20.95 in an eventual $71.80 pot), so you wouldn't even need to win 1/3rd of the time to turn a profit. And since the money is going in anyway if you call, wouldn't it just be a push?

Is that a spot that 50NL villains will call often with 2pair hands?

edit to elaborate: I think at midstakes the raise doesn't have much value. You get called only by better/same, and of course shoved on by big flushes. It's also kind of important to know just how much of a donky villain is, in my mind the same type of villain who calls with 2P are the ones who will shove a single T to your raise which you won't be happy to call.

as strange as it sounds, i could see a 50nl player shoving with worse (and obviously better) here and we cant call a shove, so i like a call. dont think there's enough value from a poorly played 2pair/set to set up an awkward situation with a small raise. 200nl and up i raise/fold a decent amount of the time

This is a call unless villain has reason to think there's a good chance you're bluffing here or he is a bad calling station. Otherwise he's just going to fold worse hands and re-raise better ones.

As much as I would want to call, I think its a fold. If he has an overpair he is probably just gonna call the turn if not fold. I don't think an overpair will bump that turn so I think the turn bet is good. Just curious, you lead bet the flop for 8, if he bumped you to say 18-25. Whats your play?
