Ahh the memories.

Also, raise preflop plz.

Did you also discuss with him what he would do if you would raise the turn?

I really, really don't like the open limp OTB.PF, I think you have to make a judgement call, there is no right or wrong here in my eyes. If you feel he is making a stand against you, just go ahead an put it in. If you feel he has a strong hand, fold.As played, you are not getting away from this.

I'd bet the river here. Flop texture can make you get looked up light.

Fold. Although he played a straight/ set/ better two pair prtty bad, it are his most likely holdings.Also, he is raisng your bet with one player behind him to act, which is usually a sign of a strong hand.

Interesting hand.I agree with others that said his hand looks alot like AsKs. Slowplaying a set or something else here just seems plain bad. With AsKs he can do some nice potcontrol while not being terribly afraid to get outdrawn. He might play it this way since he and Acid both are deep, and he doesn't want to inflate the pot just yet.If I was playing trying to represent 99,88,98 would look incredibly tempting. If you raise here, your hand looks a lot like those hands. Add in some draws and your range looks very dangerous to him. You know that you would never shop up in this spot with air or

I think its wrong is not going to do it. I need an explanation ;)I'm not saying a TAG can't have an 8 here, but I think they fold an 8 PF >80% of the time. At least.

A good TAG almost never shows up here with an 8 here when he calls preflop vs. a LAG. Implied odds, where 8 type of hands rely on are simply not there most of the time vs. a LAG.Also, just post the hand 3 months fromnow fro the other perspective with AK and look at the responses. I've done this a few times and it can be interesting at times.

www.pokertracker.comYou can trail use it for 1000 hands.

How often are you check calling the flop with a set? I'm guessing >5% of the time. You almost never have a big ace here either, unless its AcKc/Qc but you would repop those preflop most of the time I hope. Bottom line is.. I can't see you playing a strong hand this way, but I can see you show up with missed draws here. Hands like JcTc, or AcXc. Although it would be stupid to turn a weak ace into a bluff here since we have decent showdown value.I don't like it.

Eddie,move down where they respect your raises.

Check behind on river looks good.I'd bet a bit bigger on turn and flop though. At least 3/4 pot.

Thats pretty weird for him to overcall on the turn if he has three aces. But, its a weird play if he has a Q aswell.I think I call this. There is quite a bit of money in he pot. Once you made the comment he knows pretty sure that you don't have the ace, and he can feel at ease and show you his Q.

playing 13/19 is quite impressive

I can hardly call it a goal, but I'm planning to play almost zero hands this month. Need to focus on uni, if I start playing I end up way too easily in a long midnight session. I'll just post in strat.

Lol. You come across LAGs alot at 50 NL..? Games must have changed then. First I'd like to say I really don't like having a LAG on my left and I usually leave the table if this is the case. Only reason for me to stay is if there is a drooler on my right, or the rest of the table is pretty awfull.Second, if I do stay I might start playing a more TAG game, no reason to end up in lots of pots OOP (LAGs call alot in position too) with inferior hands. If he 3-bets me light though I'll start 4-betting alot more hands, tightening up is crime. You allow him to exploit you when you tighten up to his re

2/5 200 max? That is a crazy game.As played I think you set this up well by limping and letting the LAG open the pot. He got a few callers which adds alot of dead money to the pot. The LAG can have lots of hands here, and AK figures to be a favorite aginst him based on the previous play. I'd go allin.

I agree with this.

The above is the 'Zeebo theorem'.River is an easy allin.

Like others have said:No need to check the flop. Bet your good hand, get value from a K, charge etc. you know the drill. If they have been folding to much, start raising them and opening more pots in late position or change tables if you are not comfortable with a LAGier playstyle.I think the turncheck is fine as long as you are planning to check raise. Classic situation..PF raiser --> C-bets flop -->Gives up on turn -->Villain takes stab--> We raise. This way we get the money in most of the time vs. a K and sometimes vs. a draw or even worse hand. I do this if I know villain to be

You are ofcourse right when you say that we can't assume everybody is a donk, but we also can't assume that they play near perfect/ rational.Hero's raise here looks really weak in my opinion, and based alone on that action villain could have decided its time to pull a move. To be honest, I kinda see this as a trade off situation where we would get the KK stack everytime we would be holding a boat or a 4 here. Everytime a player makes a stupid bluff (or a valuebet in his eyes;TT+) I profit because I wouldn't make that mistake when the roles are reversed. He is getting my stack here if he can be

If the guy truly is a nit, I'd fold the river. Nits don't limp AK most of the time. They do limp AJ and AQ though. I can't imagine a nit showing up on this river iwth an underpair or QJ.That being said, I'd call here since 100 hands is not nearly enough of a sample to call someone a nit with great confidence. Everybody is card dead or streaks of 100 hands sometimes. I think you will see something like AT enough of the time to call here.

I do agree with this.Problem is, alot of villains think hands like TT-QQ and even A9 that they flatcalled PF with are now the nuts and play them like that.I'm not folding here.
