Confusing Hand

<< < (4/7) > >>

deanp27:
when you called did you have a plan for when you missed? remember you only have just over a PSB left by calling so decision on flop is terminal one way or another.

you have given up the initiative in the hand, he is going to fire like 90% of his range here and you have missed.

most of the time i just give up here unless i have a soul read that i am going to follow through. (but i either jam or fold pre)

coprey:
I appreciate your comments Rob and others.

All I could do was fold leaving myself with 40k.

I agree the call of the re-raise was probably fundamentally wrong.

In hindsight perhaps disguising this hand with checking the BB may have been the best move, especially against a player of this nature - slow play the aggressive player. Why go to war unless you can follow through and put your money where your mouth is, so to speak.

The guy put my mind at rest by turning his cards over when it was all done. Answers on a postcard or post here if you like.

the blinds are where most players spew there chips,be it sb v bb or calling a lp raiser and being oop for the rest of the hand.
I like villains approach here as i like to limp in from the sb when only up against the bb especially if they are aggressive defenders [ego thing mostly or have a notion that they are getting bullied all the time]
If you have any history with him coprey at all in blind v blind and he has been raising every other time then i"d check and peel here.
I don"t like your raise size if you are going to fold to a re-raise , you can get the same result by making it 5000,5500 and save a bb... have a plan when you raise..
Everything indicates a big hand but i doubt it is every time,his range could be 77+ A8o+ Axs and seeming he is aggressive
KQs KJs - if i have someone to my left who i think sees monsters then this trick of posturing to look pot committed works a treat even though i know that i"ll fold to a re-raise... i do it sometimes when short stacked as well say 12bb and i std raise with total tripe ep knowing most see this as a big hand..oh and i fold if someone re-raises..
AJs in the bb is good to go as played after your raise and his re-raise there is 29000 out there , with 53000 back calling is not an option here [your stack size] so i favour a re-raise all in or fold , but as played with your read of him being aggressive -

My read is, this guy is slippery and aggressive, I want to avoid playing flops with him. I dont want to give him a chance of hitting a rag. My instinct and from what I have seen so far is that he would have raised with a strong hand. I therefore put him on a weak hand.

so go with your read and rr all in ....

deanp27:
I think generally your raise preflop is fine. I don"t think you should let this hand put you off raising for value in this spot with position and usually the best hand.

i guess he had AA/KK or AK - but he should"t really show you if he did.

having said that he is French

You had to fold, and he turns over pocket Qs.
