    Default NL25 - 10s, re raised PF and on the flop

    Players stats 38/18/2.59 over 100 hands but at the time I had very few hands on him.

    He was playing very aggressively towards me, raising me and re raising me a lot!

    Round 1:

    saw flop|saw showdown

    MP ($34.45)
    Hero ($25.10)
    SB ($12.38)
    BB ($31.94)
    UTG ($18.82)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with , .
    1 fold, MP raises to $1, Hero raises to $3.5, 2 folds, MP raises to $6, Hero calls $2.50.

    Flop: ($13.40) , , (2 players)
    MP bets $9.25, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $22.65



    Round 2: This was the hand I wanted analysis on.

    Should I 4 bet PF?
    Should I flat call or raise the flop?
    What do you do when he 3 bets the flop? This is far from the 1st time he's min raised me.

    Hero ($24.60)

    Button ($18.44)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with , .
    Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, SB raises to $1.75, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.75.

    Flop: ($3.75) , , (3 players)
    SB bets $2, Hero raises to $7, SB raises to $12, Hero????

    Hand 1 is pretty standard, I play the same.

    Hand 2, hmm. If he keeps min-raising and min-reraising I will 4 bet this preflop up to $6. If he gives me any serious action back I'm done with the hand barring a nice flop.

    As played it's a difficult one on the flop. I'd be inclined to flat call and evaluate the turn.

    As played when he 3 bets, it's push or fold. I don't like a push unless I've seen some serious garbage shown down by this guy.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    Most of the time I'd agree but this villain is showing signs of being a maniac, and as soon as I've seen mini raises like the ones he is putting in, I'm giving him no credit for being a decent player. In position against such a player I like 3-betting with a fairly wide range.

    These are also the kind of players that you can play TPGK like the nuts, so flopping Q high or an ace is good enough for me to get it in against this guy.

    You fold to the min re raise? Or never 3 bet a CO raise with AQ on the button?

    Hand 1's fine.

    Hand 2- 4-bet preflop in the $6-$7 range and fold to a shove or even another minreraise. As played, I'm getting in on this flop.

    This guy never calls and his aggression M.O. is to ignore the slider.

    That said, I don't think a fold is terribly weak, but because of how he applies his aggression, calling the $2 and evaluating the turn in position's probably your best line considering the PF action.
