Spewy or Standard?

    Default Spewy or Standard?

    I have made a couple plays on villain and I think he knows it. He’s another meh tagg.

    Looking back I think a better line is calling flop and getting it in on a non-club turn.

    I’m lost in these flop spots since usually I raise a million hands preflop but just check behind here. Playing taggier I now c-bet hoping to get raised here since villains know I c-bet a good bit.

    I think I was tilting after losing a huge pot on another table. Plz just tell me I’m a tilt-donkey.

    - SRF sitting in seat 1 with $98.55
    - Goldfinger30 sitting in seat 3 with $206.83
    - Genitruc sitting in seat 4 with $264.47 [Dealer]
    - joa sitting in seat 5 with $239.50
    - lowfade sitting in seat 6 with $65.30 [Sitting out]

    joa posted the small blind - $1.00
    SRF posted the big blind - $2.00
    ** Dealing card to Genitruc:
    Goldfinger30 folded
    Genitruc raised - $8.00
    joa called - $8.00
    SRF called - $8.00

    ** Dealing the flop:
    joa checked
    SRF checked
    Genitruc bet - $24.00
    joa raised - $55.00
    SRF folded
    Genitruc went all-in - $232.47
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    Assuming that he's probably reraising TT+ this probably isn't bad.

    But i like your idea of getting it in on a non club turn.

    Those almost but not quite min-raises are dangerous.

    yea I mean this works out great sometimes and then once in awhile he has a set and ewwww. His tiny flop raise tilts his range a lot towards sets, but I think this board has really good texture to get it in light with...

    Any 5. T or club I think you check fold the turn and any blanks you raise his turn bet all in. Its a dangerous and marginal play and probably slightly +ev Im gonna guess.

    yeah I think the line I suggested and sauce clarified would be much better the higher the limit/aggressive the game.

    Sometimes I just make "higher level" plays (thinking about what villains think I'm repping and combining that with board texture, draws out there etc.) that are unecessary.

    FFS the point of playing taggier was to keep it simple!
