spewtastic?

[Lukie]

Villain is a solid, winning tagg of the 22/11 variety, but it's been quite a while since I've played with him. Not sure what he thinks of me.

This is my first hand at the table. Thoughts?

Yeah this is spewage, TT/JJ may fold but everything else calls in his range.

[Miffed22001]

this is not a good board to fire a 2nd barrel out of position

Could you give a quick stab at what you think good boards for this would be?

any board that a person would be afraid to slowplay a monster on

def. spewtastic.

we're getting shown a set a lot here. The coordinated flop isn't relevant since the only hand in his perceived range you would have is TT. He's probably willing to gamble that a scarecard 6 or T doesn't show up, since he knows you are a nit and doesn't want to risk folding your AA/QQ.

If the money were deep enough, you could c/r bluff all in, but the shallow money is promoting honesty in this hand, and after calling that flop bet he's probably gonna call your turn bet with any overpair.

Also, it's your first hand. I find that my opponents are more likely to think I'm bluffing if I suddenly turn up and push my first hand or two - it's as if it gives you an immediate maniac rep and they act accordingly.

wow thanks for showing my the flop again lukie!!

this is not a good one to fire a 2nd barrel, hes not calling the flop with something like QJ hoping to improve

I agree that this hand is spew and it's not a good spot to fire a second barrell (particularly when it's allin and he doesn't have the implied thread of facing a 3rd barrell), but I don't agree with your reasoning. This is absolutely a board where somebody would afraid to slowplay a monster on, although I'm certainly not saying people wouldn't.



For the results oriented, he folded.
