    Default Float vs. Reg

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    CO ($215)
    Hero (Button) ($233.15)
    SB ($269.05)
    BB ($199.75)
    UTG ($66)
    MP ($738.05)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with A, Q
    1 fold, MP raises to $6, CO calls $6, Hero calls $6, 2 folds

    Flop: ($21) 6, 8, 10 (3 players)
    MP bets $12, 1 fold, Hero calls $12

    Turn: ($45) K (2 players)
    MP bets $28, Hero raises to $68

    PF: I don't like 3betting here vs. his MP range and I think I can get more value from KQ, Ax type hands and float him to be more profitable. I also wanted to keep CO in who is a losing but not terrible player.

    Mp is vs. Minetta a decent reg who will double barrel a lot, especially scare cards. His range could be a set, air, overpairs. I'm not sure if he bets a king if he connects here, but he does seem to bet this turn enough that he probably does for balance

    He views me as being TAGish without a particularly tricky image so far, as I have been calling him down thin rather than fighting back with aggression so I expect to get some credit.

    I'd generally raise pre-flop in this situation for three reasons. First, I squeeze quite frequently, so to a smart player raising doesn't necessarily imply a strong hand. Second, I prefer to play AQ hu. Third, it kind of buys a K on the flop, as most will fold to a c-bet on a K-high flop if you have reraised preflop.

    this is reasonably good
    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    nh but i d rather make it 85ish to set up a credible river shove and protect with your monster
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
