NPL_Texas 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 NLHE 10-Handed .50/1I'm in the small blind UTG +1 raises to $4, UTG +2 raises to $24, I look down at QQ. UTG +1 has been sitting for maybe five hands, I know little to nothing about. UTG2 is a crazy old man, lawyer, that will call any amount with any pair and any draw (or with nothing, literally). He's already in for $500 and we've only been playing two hours. UTG +1 - $75UTG +2 - $400ME - $200What do you do?I'll post the results later.Thanks in advance for any input.

Dubey 1,035 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 its a tough spot. UTG+1 is the one to worry about here. I'd make a small raise to try to isolate against the crazy old man. Make it $50ish. If UTG+1 comes over the top, you can let it go. If UTG+2 comes over the top, you call/shove.EDIT: Just noticed stack sizes. Make it 75 to go and call a shove from UTG+2.

throwemaway 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Stack sizes make this one pretty easy IMO...Reraise to 80ish and call a shove from the old man based on your read of him/being pot committed Link to post Share on other sites

If UTG+1 shoves over the raise and your reraise, you can instamuck.If not, get it in with the lunatic. Link to post Share on other sites
Moneyball16 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 From your OP you say that the old guy is crazy because he loves to call, but it says nothing about his raising and reraising tendencies. Any more reads would be nice. Link to post Share on other sites

Any more reads would be nice.He will literally call any bet with nothing, for no reason at all. He called $60 on the turn with a gutshot, against my KK, missed and called my all in on the river. He's an absolute dream to play with. Link to post Share on other sites
NPL_Texas 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Thanks for all the input guys, and letting me know how much of an idiot I am. In my mind I wasn't worried at all about UTG +1, why, I don't know. My original instinct, when I looked down at QQ after the raise and reraise was to fold. I even started to throw them away, but though twice. My reasoning was this. The original raiser UTG +1 made it $4 to go. The way he looked after the reraise made me think he was going to fold.... I smooth called the re-raise, putting UTG +1 on AK/AQ, and putting the crazy guy on anything from 33-77. He's very defensive with small pocket pairs, and even announced that after showing down a few hands. "I'm going to make you pay to outdraw my pocket pair!" In my mind UTG +1 wasn't a factor. Now that I rethink it, I should have known. After I called, I told myself I would throw it away if I didn't hit a set, I didn't want to get too involved. Here it goes (don't flame me please).10 9 6 rainbowI shove. Get called from both spots. UTG +1 has KK, crazy guy 99. I've layed down much better hands than this before, but for some reason I couldn't get away from it. I didn't improve btw. Can anybody walk me through this hand properly?
