was playing cash online last night when this hand came up. i passed in a shot and my poker player mates started laughing because they thought i'd mis-read my hand.
no pokertracker as it was round a mates house.
10 handed .25/.50 - you are in for $50
UTG1-UTG5 all fold.
UTG6 - ROCK - raises to $2.50
UTG7 fold.
so to us on the button. we have position on a rock that i've played with a fair few times and have good notes on. i'm almost certain he has JJ/QQ/AK here. his raises are smaller when folded to him in this position with KK/AA and AQ/AJ. for different reasons of course.
BUTTON - we have
and call.
SB - fold.
BB - MOUSE - calls.
FLOP -
BB MOUSE - check
MIDPOS ROCK - $2.50
right here i call because i know he probably has the ace with a king. i'm ahead for sure. he may well be betting his JJ/QQ to see where he is. i'm expecting the mouse to insta-pass when he CHECK-RAISES TO $10.
ROCK - folds
and what do you do? stack of $45 against a mouse that covers you who has check-raised? hell i don't think i've ever seen a mouse check raise before unless they had the nuts against a calling station. i came to the conclusion the only hand he could have was pocket 10s. unless the rock had QQ/JJ in which case the mouse may have AA. does anyone really call this raise against a mouse or even re-raise?

for those of you not with my lingo.
ROCK - Tight-Passive --> Aggressive
MOUSE - Tight-Passive --> Uber-Passive
