    Default 10nl 99 hand

    Is shove over spewy? I haven't been at the table with villan long, but he feels like a 20/15 or somewhere thereabouts. He'd been isolating limpers as a standard, so I felt like my range was actually ahead. The check through on the flop felt weak, and the check raise was because IMO we had history. I'd been abusing my position on him every chance I got, and built my stack up off of him and him alone.

    no reason to pick on particular players at 10nl, they are all weak and all will make spewy mistakes. best to just take pot controlling line and get value from weaker hands and draws, and keep the pot small in wa/wb situations. u r creating a lot of situations that you dont have the cursory experience to deal with. when u play against thinking players who u know are adjusting, then u will be much more able to gauge whether this is a good or bad play. you probably get it in here vs trip queens a lot at low stakes.

    He's not raising with worse. You can't have history with a villain if you don't even have stats on him yet. A lot of the 20/15 types at low stakes are playing so many tables that they don't even know what your doing let alone adjusting to you. They are usually playing their cards and thats it. You are playing in to their game when you make spewy raises into the nuts.

    Anybody else reraise pf? You're on the button and have been abusing your position on him, carry that on. I agree with meeloche in that if you have no stats theres no real history - use spots like these to build a "history" with them. Abuse, abuse, abuse, tilt them.

    I agree it's a clear fold. I also think your flop bet is unnecessarily large. $1.2 would be more accurate IMO since there are no draws to chase. I know it sounds like it doesn't matter much but in the long run these things add up

    Yup, but the call's okay.

    I think it's far more likely that we are wb on flop than wa.
