    Default What's your value raise on this play?

    Op is 35/3/1.11. I have a little bit of history with op. He seems to not respect a lot of my pf raises/cont bets and can be very sporadic/schizo in post flop play with me. Not exactly sure why, I'm playing 16/8 and haven't given him any reasons to not respect my bets, at least not that I can think of. However, 5 hands before this I stacked him when I flopped a boat vs his overpair.

    What do you put op on and how does this affect your decision on what to reraise to?

    Push. He's probably not calling too much more and you can try to rep a missed flush or whatever. Hopefully he's steaming enough to call w/ AJ. I'm amazed at how many times this gets a call at 100NL.

    if hes really annoyed with you, talk some smack in chat.. min raise.. then watch him push.

    from the HH i think hes got either 2pr (AT/AJ/TJ) or another kq for a split. he could also have a pp, thinking you missed, but he folds those hands.. by min-raising you give him a chance to try and re-bluff you..

    im tired and not thinking straight, but in real life i just push river.

    $70

    I don't think he's stupid enough to call a push for 2 buy-ins, but I think he likes his hand and might even push back with a lot of hands you were stacking anyway.

    $70 sounds good, your right, but since this guys vpip is 33 and seems to have AJ/AT I think a push could easily get called. If he had AJ, I think he calls a push, but anything less he doesn't. Also could be a set.

    Loose passives can get downright tight sometimes when you push for their entire stack after they've built one up running good. Often they figure to buy-in only once, so getting stacked would end the game for them. A prospect they take very seriously.

    and overvalue betting mine. i push this a lot and shrug if he doesn't call. However fnord makes a great point about these types of players. They see it as 'If I call and lose, do I still have money left to take the gf out on the weekend' etc. Whilst winning players look at the action and ask themselves 'Am I ahead?'

    I may start experimenting with betting weird amounts that puts villain all in except for 13 bucks or whatever.

    He insta-called the $60, but if you push I doubt he insta-calls.

    Without more information it's tough to say which is the better bet.

    Meh, maybe it's just I'm in a small drought of calls pushing the nuts on the river.
