Taking risks against passive players
After reading some advice here I've started giving players at my level a little (a lot?) less respect. The question is, have I gone too far?
Because of the number of times they call it's hard to tell if they're slow-playing a monster or just fishing for that elusive card.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx
UTG+1 =#A500AF(Villain)/ ($4.70)
MP1 ($5.41)
MP2 ($14.37)
MP3 ($10.44)
CO ($3.89)
Button ($6.29)
Hero ($3.37)
BB ($5.24)
UTG ($5.02)
Preflop: Hero is SB with A , J . Hero posts a blind of $0.02.
UTG calls $0.04, UTG+1 =#A500AF(Villain)/ calls $0.04, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.04, MP3 calls $0.04, CO calls $0.04, 1 fold, Hero (poster) raises to $0.28, 1 fold, UTG folds, UTG+1 =#A500AF(Villain)/ calls $0.26, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO calls $0.26.
At this level it seems that callers can having anything from AA-Qxs at this point.
Flop: ($1.06) T , K , J (3 players)
Okay, scarey flop, so I make a moderate bet for information.
Hero bets $0.5, Villain calls $0.50, CO folds.
It's possible he's got a hand and is trying to trick me into staying in. More likely he's not got a K and is waiting. I'd guess he's got clubs, or a straight draw.
Turn: ($2.06) 2 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.9, Villain calls $0.90.
I can't seem to get rid of them by giving bad odds, so I give another half-pot-ish bet. He follows along.
River: ($3.86) J (2 players)
Villain calls $1.67.
Great. If he's got the king I don't care any more. It's not a club and the straight is not possible. So, the only possibility is the flush. If he has the flush that means he called my flop bet with three cards to his flush. Unlikely, so I go all-in (the converter seems to have missed my bet) and he calls.
What do you think?
Final Pot: $5.53
