    Default $3r hand

    $3r i have been raising a lot playing LAG as always. i got caught bluffing real bad one time where i pushed into a boat with 82 for nothing. another hand i raised and villain called and checked his KJ on Jxxxx all 3 streets to me.

    edit: i forgot villain was also playing very loose and very bad. he was calling alot of raises and almost everytime i raised he called. the hands he showed down were pretty bad

    he overbet the pot on the flop and i didnt think he would bet that big with anything. i thought my hand was good so i pushed.

    comments?

    Well no way I would have reraise him...

    However, I dont say its a bad move cause you can be up front at the moment with him over betting the pot like this. the fact he call dosent even means he have you beaten.

    Butm, he wasnt on blids so you have to give him some credit for the call preflop. The 10 and the J are 2 cards he can definately hold. Or, A better kicker.

    He can also have suited connect like 5-6 and be a huge dog.
    I just would'nt have take the chance. You still have the stack to play a few hands and you are far to be pot commited. You still have 10K and poeple will show some respect for an all in bet prefolp.

    So you can rebuild semi stealing with any A or any PP. Can easily be back at 15K before the next time you have to post a blind... and than double up on the CL. Or dead...

    Any way very hard hand to play at this point I think...

    Sorry, I don't like this one. You basically min-raised him there, so if he has any pair he is going to call. He probably has J8 or some garbage like that.

    You've already been caught bluffing so I can't see how this is a reasonable play.

    I think he will fold more often if you push on the turn.

    People have a tendency to call reraises out of ego.

    He has to call, about 4-1 on his call there, and If hes got any piece of this, which he seems to have, then he should call, even if hes got some overs and though you were stealing PF (which you were), I think he thinks he can't be that far behind.... and its less than 20% of hist stack total....

    eh this hand is too absurd for a strategy post w/e. i shoulda just posted it in the 1st time.

    when he hit the flop he checked it all the way down. why would he bet 5600 if he hit the flop against someone like me who has been bluffing and playing really loose?

    i know he obviously calls if he hit any part of the flop, but i really didnt think he did by his bet. i thought my hand was good and he would fold.

    this has to be one of the worst calls i have seen i think ever.
