    Default Rockest Rock of all Rocks.......

    K I was just playing a live $5 tourney, nothing special but I like to win everytime i sit down regardless of the money. 7 people in first gets pot second gets your money back. Final 3 people I have a pretty good chip lead prolly 3-1 on the other 2 players blinds not that much harm. I know sketchy details but just looking for how i played not nec the details. One of the people left is my roomate and i can usually tell what he has. Other guy I have never played with before but he was the tightest player i have seen. 1 example 4 people left blinds 50/100 and utg goes all in for 400 and utg + 1 called and then rock folds AK with decent chips cause there was already 1 caller. Then 3 people left he folds QQ to a 700 chip raise which was about half his stack.

    Being the chip leader i tried to take adv of him being so tight, was i right to raise with suited connectors, weaker aces, two face cards?
    If there wern't luck involed i guess id win everyone

    How do you know what he's folding? And yeah, throw out a raise PF and a bet on the flop, if he calls you know he has something.

    For the first post he was folding preflop and a couple times we played them out and he would have won, and he would show it when he was folding a big hand for some reason

    Then it seems like it would only be natural to lean on the guy and wait on him to ante to death while you play evryone else. I'm suprised everyone didn't lean on him.

    Sounds kinda like he was scared and playing a super tight MTT strategy, probably a freeroll junky who decided it was time to sit in on a live game.

    I guess I can see the logic if he just wanted to see a lot of hands and get a little live game introduction, fish afraid of drowning kinda thing

    Whatever reason, I imagine most people would make subtle bluffs at most anything, or even outright bully him and patiently collect his money while taking quiet side bets in the kitchen on whether he'd change his play before he ran out of chips.

    I wouldn't even wait for the deal to be done, I would be raising with only one card, or even less. Bludgeon this boy to death. He's just proud of making "great" laydowns.

    the only thing i can think of is that you need to be careful about getting overcommitted with weak hands against him because he is going to be calling you with stronger than normal hands. Chip stacks are important.

    Seriously... if you bluff and he calls, be done with the hand, don't try again!
