Title: Trouble with a hand. Post by: Scott_Kid_poker on February 01, 2007, 04:55:59 PM 9 handed cash games, you're 2 seats off under the gun - Theres no action behind you, look down and you see a pritty hand Td Tc. Theres one very aggressive player on the table and he now has the button and you think he will come over the top. What size raise would you make this pre flop ? Ok now everyone folds around to aggressive player who has the button who knows you're a tight player and you think he thinks he can out play you on the flop/turn. Aggressive player pre flop makes it just double your raise pre flop. Whats you're next move ? " No set no bet on the flop " ? What % of the time is he bluffing you, I think he thinks his aggressive image will get him paid on his big hands, I don't want to be the mug and go all the way with Th Td when he has a hand. Also the same with hands like 9s 9h and Jd Jc. Cheers. Title: Re: Trouble with a hand. Post by: doubleup on February 01, 2007, 05:13:10 PM What are the blinds?
How much money have you both got? When you say aggressive - do you mean loose aggresive? If I had your hand and plenty of chips and a lag raising a lot with position, I would just limp rather than raise. Does he do the min reraise a lot? If he does just call and see what the flop brings. If he rarely does it he probably has a hand and doesn't want to scare you off, so call and fold if you don't hit. Title: Re: Trouble with a hand.

Post by: stewart on February 07, 2007, 02:00:53 PM if you know he is going to raise flat call let him raise
if you raise and he re-raises are u pushing it all-in is the big question? why not flat call let him bulid the pot for you and see the flop he wont put u on pkt 10's and have faith in your ability to play the streets with him, or flop a 10 of cause, Title: Re: Trouble with a hand. Post by: Smart Money on February 07, 2007, 02:59:46 PM It's great to have an overly aggressive player sitting at your full-handed cash table. If they hang around long enough, they always end up throwing their money away so there's no need to take too much of a gamble against them.
Limp/call his raise pre-flop, and re-assess on the flop. Nothing wrong with folding on the flop if you don't hit your set. Just be patient and wait for a better spot. When you do hit your monster, avoid betting into him- let him try and force you out with heavy betting. (When pots are often multi-way, I always like to sit on the immediate right of aggressive serial raisers/bettors. Everyone knows they are going to be betting each street so action is often checked to them, which in effect gives you position on every street.) |
