    Default standard play?

    villain is a maniac, but not through too many hands. havent seen him showdown to verify crappy holdings, but they cant all be good, he's simply too aggressive too frequently.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($34.85)
    SB ($24.50)
    BB ($98.70)
    Hero ($23.10)
    MP ($12.20)
    CO ($3.55)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, J.
    Hero raises to $1, MP calls $1, 1 fold, Button calls $1, 1 fold, BB calls $0.75.

    Flop: ($4.10) 3, J, 7 (4 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $3.25, MP raises to $11.2, Button folds, BB folds, Hero??

    flop bet correct size, or would you even bet? would you c/r him?

    as played, do you call the flop raise? push over? fold?

    Since he is all-in I would actually call this in most cases.

    Fist pump call. Don't fold pre-flop.

    i'm certainly not open-limping this thing. and, in a 6max game, i just cant refuse broadways from any position for some reason.

    although, i've grown a man-sized dislike for QT early and mid. so, thats gone. lol.

    Oh, um, opening KJo UTG at these levels is incorrectomundo and quite frankly unecessary. Opening this means you're probably opening at least 15% UTG which is just too much at these levels.

    Also, I'm not a nit, I'm a TAGG, and you're nothing.

    Not that bad of a play, he's pushing with at least 20% equity and with any kind of FE his play can become +EV.

    i wouldnt think that 20% justifies a shove over. even if he thinks its only a cbet. how many pots must you win right there to make up for the stack you lose when called (the gutshot only saves you around 10% of the time, yes?)?

    about 18-20% like I said, it's good to work the math out, try and figure out how many times you'll have to fold a better hand for his play to be +EV, might surprise you.

    Definitely nonstandard, but according to your reads, good call.

    I love these loosey gooseys.
