Spew versus tight multitabler?

    Default Spew versus tight multitabler?

    I have played with the villain in this hand quite a bit; he multitables and generally nut camps. I have never seen him flat with a big pair. I've yet to play a big pot against him. My thinking was I could represent a big pair and put him to a tough decision with a small boat.

    Is this type of play ever advisable at these stakes (even versus a tight player)?

    UTG player open limps with a wide variety of trash.

    Flame away.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Hero (Button) ($10)
    SB ($9.10)
    BB ($10.45)
    UTG ($14.80)
    MP ($10.70)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 7, 8
    UTG calls $0.10, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.40, SB calls $0.35, BB calls $0.30, UTG calls $0.30

    Flop: ($1.60) 5, 5, 5 (4 players)
    SB checks, BB bets $1.20, 1 fold, Hero raises to $3.60, 1 fold, BB calls $2.40

    Turn: ($8.80) 9 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $6 (All-In)

    Total pot: $8.80

    Reflecting more on this hand from the villain's perspective, I think you're right. First of all, he may be aware that I'm raising a fairly wide range in that spot preflop. Secondly, the fact that villain is a nit might make it worse, because I think he's less likely to think about the relative strength of his hand.

    Obviously he called and rolled over 77.

    LOL. My first thought on seeing that flop is that no villain is laying down a pocket pair here.

    I just want to say I agree with spenda but I do like that you were trying to be creative and you actually bluffed with a purpose in mind. I think you should also think about what kind of villains WOULD fold here (if any) and also what changes (if anything) given a different turn card.

    the Quadboard "what will they fold" question a littleway into the thread is comedic genious!
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes
