£1/2 live cash hand

[TightEnd]

£1/2 live cash nine handed at the Vic

Villain playing £300 v aggro. Bets and raises a lot. Rarely lets his cut-off button pass without raising

Hero £250. er, a different image

Three limpers (standard) and Villain makes it £18 to go on the button

Hero looks down at  in the big blind


Your course of action is?

[Simon Galloway]

Call and set mine. also watch out for an early limp r/r coz with a larcenous c/o in play, people can rely on getting their r/r in.

[AlexMartin]

make it £40.

[TightEnd]

make it £40.

more please Alex.

Why an almost min rr?

If the raiser shoves what do you do?

[ScottMGee]

Raise to £60

[kinboshi]

Call and set mine for me.  You say the villain is agro, is that post flop as well as pre?

[TightEnd]

puts max pressure on pre and post

Anyway I decided to call


We're heads up to the flop

 

I check and he bets £60 into the £43 pot.

Do you agree with the check?

and what now?

[Newmanseye]

Raise to £46 - £49 there abouts, with your image I would be firing at any flop regardless fo the paint on board.  If he re reraises pre  we can let this go tbh

if he calls the reraise i am pumping £70 - £80 in on the flop.

i would be making it £150 here with a firm hand ready to pop the rest in.

the thing about these live hands that get posted is that the pre flop raises are so huge that it's like playing an online 3 bet pot. as a general rule you don't fold overpairs in 3 bet pots, especially not to a villain like this. I think with your stack size and his overbet you just want to push now.

[GlasgowBandit]

I pumping it to around £55 pre.  On that board, to lead out for so much stinks of overcard KTs+, ATo+ QJ+ so. If my read is correct I am quite happy to pumpt it in here and take whats in the pot rather play another street or 2 OOP.  If an overcard comes on the turn thats within opponents range are we checking to fold to a bet?

[MC]

Yeah I like a raise to £55 preflop...I don't mind the call though

As played, I like a check raise. I don't really mind what you raise to from £120+, as long as you're happy to get it in.

[RichardL]

hmm, I would call and set mine, and probably lead if i flopped a set because by doing so u dont squeeze the aggro pfr on the flop.

You could raise, but i would only do this if you feel he is bad enough to felt any pair and ace rags etc

Now £230 stacks?

Now i think you have to get it in presuming he is legitamately v aggro/spew.

I wouldnt shove, but wud make it £150 on flop. This is because fish dont like to get it all in with ace high, but will call almost all in with ace high to try and hit their hand (then if they do hit they can justify it saying they got it all in when ahead). Its a phsycological thing i guess....

Not that u shud listen to my advice tho
