QQ/AA from the BB with straddle.

Some more fun from my homegame. Most of the players are Aggro/Weak, which makes for a love/hate game.

This happened twice, I'll give the AA hand.

1$ 2$ blinds $4 straddle.

UTG+1 make it $12 ToGo, 5 callers to the Hero in BB. Hero has $130.

Hero does??

Every person in this hand is a fish. Agg/Weak players mostly.

QQ hand:

1$ 2$ blinds $4 straddle.

MP1 raises to $10, MP2 raises to $20, TWO callers to BB. Hero is bigstack with 450$ and MP1 is 2nd stack with 180$.

Hero does??

Reads: MP2 is Manic. He comes with 200$ and leaves in an hour with 700+ or nothing. He raises 30-40% of hands 5-10xBB. MP1 is solid player, but is very straightforward.



My play to come...

What's a $4 straddle :?: This is hold'em you're playing, right?

It's a big blind bigger than the big blind. Encourages more action and forces the straddler to gamble it up.

This encourages an aggro game and probably contributes to the love/hate results.

AA hand. 5 callers for $12 = $60 and you have $130?

I would either make it $ 30 to go or sth, but you might get 2 or 3 callers at that table as you secribed it.

If the table is like you said. I would actually push here. Best case you get 1 caller and you double up + $60. If I just take it there its ok.

QQ hand. I plai this like its middle PP. I call and hope for a Q. If an A or K comes I muck it. If its rags be cautious.

Hand AA:

Push AI and 1 caller who slams down AK like he has the nuts

WIN


Hand QQ Push AI 1 caller who sllams down AK like he has the nuts

Flop AA2 :lol:
