How's this?

    Default How's this?

    Notes on this guy say: way loose, makes huge overbet bluffs, calling station.

    I made those notes yesterday when I saw him playing like a huge fish. He seems to have tightened up a bit today.

    Good turn bet?
    Raise flop?

    I like this play in general, because you could play a K like this, your hand is worthless and villain has shown weakness (or he is slowplaying a monster).

    But against this opponent I don't know, a calling station could look you up with QQ, JJ because, well... he has a BOAT!!!

    Does he reraise a lot preflop?

    irish,

    I dont like any street in this hand. Especially postflop, unless you've seen him 3-bet prf a lot.

    I don't like betting the turn

    If I were to bluff this hand, I'd bet/raise any river action to rep the kk-101010 boat or quads (not that he'd fold a king ever... but betting that turn would seem weird to most ppl if you had KK101010).
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    preflop is only bad if he is 3 betting alot, you've got it backwards

    Gabe you are right, its bad to call his preflop reraise if his 3-bet range is wide. But my comment was in regards on raising 76s UTG in the first place - raising suited connectors UTG is obviously not bad, I know its standard for many regulars. But I just dont personally like playing this hand OOP against people who at this limit probably have loose calling standards both pre- and postflop.
