raise back... keep raising, cap preflop and flop. only if you suspect a blind steal


im not sure exactly, if he is consistantly doing this everytime its folded to him, then i'll play raise wars rwith him.

The question is a bit generic, alot depends on the table conditions and your reads on the SB, Loose/Passive, Tight/Aggro, etc.

It all depends on what I am holding in the BB, utter garbage throw it away, if not see a flop and go from there.

BTW, what limits are you referring to? At the Party .5/1 game I do not think I have EVER seen folds around to the SB

IMO, blind defense does not really become a significant part of the game until at least 2/4.

Regards

Great way to burn a lot of chips. I make a lot of profit from players like this. Check/raise any pair on the flop. Call down from there.

Always consider who is stealing.

You should 3-bet just about any hand you would open-raise from MP. Failing to 3-bet makes stealing too profitable. Don't get tricky smooth calling AA.

Play any 2 cards that don't suck, particularly since you have position here. High card value is MUCH more important than being connected or s00ted. Avoid 2s and 3s. If you didn't take over the hand pre-flop c/r any flop where you have a pair, open ended or flush draw. Ignore the top card when peeling one on the flop (unless the raiser is kinda tight and the top card is an Ace.) In other words, drawing to 2nd pair is often correct. You just can't frequently roll over for 1 small bet.

Don't make a pissing match of it without a strong hand, call down a lot and make the fucker show you a hand when you have showdown value.

One more note...

Often limp/re-raises online aren't legit. However, oddly enough I've found that if the SB completes then 3-bets it's usually AK/AA/KK/QQ. Just bad luck on my part or is there something to this?
