    Default 2 hands vs kinda TAggy

    Late night insomia slumming at the 100NL

    I've been chilling out looking for a spot against the shorties and getting a feeling for the deeper money.

    My opponent seems pretty tight. Seen him showdown only big hole cards and pass up chances to raise implied odds kinda stuff. Opens for 3x, has ABC bet sizing. Worst hand I've seen is A9s, but it's only been 3 or 4 orbits. No other post-flop information.

    UTG ($121.40)
    Button ($131.10)
    SB ($52.75)
    Fnord ($100)

    Preflop: Fnord is BB with Q, Q.
    1 fold, Button raises to $3, 1 fold, Fnord calls $2.

    Flop: ($6.50) 7, 2, 5 (2 players)
    Fnord checks, Button bets $4, Fnord raises to $10, Button raises to $30, Fnord folds.

    A few orbits later. Our opponent hasn't shown much action, I've opened it up a bit and started iso-raising the dead money. Been caught stealing (including 2 barrels with air) by a well long story, lets just say kinda TAggy multi-tabling regular.

    Fnord ($111.45)

    Preflop: Fnord is MP with A, A.
    1 fold, Fnord raises to $4, 2 folds, SB calls $3.50, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($9) 6, 7, 9 (2 players)
    SB checks, Fnord bets $6, SB raises to $18, Fnord calls $12.

    Turn: ($45) 6 (2 players)
    SB bets $28, Fnord shoves

    TT, QQ or KK, with the slight possiblity of 8's or 9's. You are ahead here more often then not. So, we need to get the most out of him.

    Have you been shoving lots of other hands? How has he repsonded to shoves in the past?

    I dont think I really like the first one. Your hand is underrepped preflop in a 4handed game, he could easily be putting you on a move or thinking his 87 or 88-JJ is good. Im torn between calling and pushing.

    I think the second hand is fine.

    There is a player sitting out who timed out when I put him to a decision for his entire short-buy. I don't think anyone is in a 3 or 4 handed kinda gear.

    Have yet to play a big pot. Biggest one so far was getting my second barrel picked off. On a run of lots of flops won without showdown.

    He's been sticking his money in there against the short-buys. Between the 2 hands he opened for 3 and folded to a push for 33 and change. No deep action seen yet.

    i like 2, and im unsure about 1. Would he play JJ this hard?
    Im also considering a call on the flop perhaps.
    I think a set is more likely here than a bigger pair.

    Wasn't sure at the time.

    My thought was he was exactly the type of player I could c/r for information to see if he's on bust overs or weak pair. I could live with a frisky 88-JJ pushing me off my hand.
