Game # 267245765 - Texas Hold'em No Limit EUR 0.50/1 - Table "Tarragona"
Game ended 2006-03-04 17:41:01 GMT+01:00

Players:
BB (EUR 71.88 in seat 1)
woollake (EUR 245.45 in seat 2)
Dealer (EUR 111.45 in seat 3)
Hero (EUR 116.80 in seat 4)
asdfff (EUR 100.00 in seat 5)

Dealer: Dealer
Small Blind: Hero (0.50)
Big Blind: BB (1.00)

Hero was dealt: Ac - Ah

woollake Call (1.00)
Dealer Raise (4.50)
Hero Call (4.00)
BB Raise (7.00)
woollake Fold
Dealer Call (3.50)
Hero All-In (112.30)
BB Fold
Dealer Fold
Hero Payback (108.80)

Hero didn't show hand

Hero wins: EUR 25.00

Dealer is 20/10.30 over 175 hands, and BB is 31.75/4.75 over 63 hands. My goal here is to isolate one player, since that maximizes my chances of winning and because I am OOP. Also, I put BB on a high PP, JJ-KK or AK, AQ with his Re-Raise. I put Dealer on two overcards. I figured that given their style of play (generally loose, Dealer overvalues High Cards, etc.) if I went AI, I would get just one caller. I thought BB would call and Dealer would fold, since BB would assume his high PP is the best hand and either could assume I'm "bluffing". I didn't want to Re-Raise say 10 or 20 EUR because if BB called (which he probably would have), then Dealer would most likely call and I would be in a tough spot, OOP, and with a big pot (already 60 EUR+). So basically my AI was to maximize my win % and value, since 1 caller would mean 70 EUR+. What do you guys think?

The weird thing is to me the min raise from the big blind doesn't indicate strength. Who the hell min raises with 3 people in the hand with anything storng. On the spot I'd probably do what you did, but after looking at it more I'd say a raise to $20 should be adequate.

Yeah I was thinking about that too. What kind of hand does a Min Raise in this situation indicate? It could be a fish trying to build the pot w/ a big hand like QQ or KK but apparently not in this case. I think he has something like AK or AQ, and he somehow thought a min-raise would eliminate someone, or he was afraid of raising too much and getting committed or even RE-raised.
