You gotta love playing these guys:



1) Villian is pretty TAG preflop but has a tendency to lose the plot postflop.

If your looking for analysis of your play, don't include the results. If it's just a "brag"post then put it in the "Tales of Poker" forum.

A few comments....

Hand 1. I would c/r the flop and keep on betting. On the river I would call, expecting him to turn over AK, KQ or KJ.
Hand 2. Value bet the river ?
Hand 3. Cap pre-flop
Hand 5. you let the LAG bet the hand for you, but maybe you should bet the river. A lot opponents will check behind with a hand they would call with.

Ah sorry Sinky if i my post was inappropriate. I'd seen people post 'dumb opponents' HH here before so thought it was all good for the sake of fun. I wasn't really looking for analysis of my play but thanks anyways for your useful comments.

1) I did call the river. C/r’ing the flop might be better but since he bet the flop I assumed he’d bet the turn as well and I’d get my c/r in there when the bet size doubled.

2) I don’t see him calling a river bet with a worse hand here and if I’m bluff-raised I’d have to lay it down. Then again , he did call the flop c/r with 4 high and the turn bet with 4 high and a gutshot, so who knows?

3) I rarely cap monsters preflop against one opponent. I prefer the deceptive value of just calling a 3bet. Against two or more opponents I will cap.

5) I said as much in the original post.
