    Default AA/KK facing a flop raise

    Hand 1:

    Villain here is feels Tagg, I have stopped using my HUD for now as an experiment. He is not 3betting at all and I have him on 3 tables...

    Hand 2:

    Villain here is a 100/200 regular. He really likes to find seats that are on my left, and usually leaves if I'm directly to his left. He has a wide PF raise calling range and likes to raise a lot of flops.

    my shitty nl play says...
    1) Hero makes it 90ish, calls a push
    2) Hero makes it 90ish, calls a push

    1. fold it. i feel like hes smooth calling pairs 77-1010 which he might not have 3 bet pre, he would have 3 bet better hands so he doesnt have JJ-AA. what im trying to say is its just a set too much nothing else makes this kind of bet.
    2. make it 90 call a push

    Edit: i thought the raise was from 14 to 26 in the first hand, which means set alot more so what i said doesnt really make much sense.

    Based on your reads I like getting it in right away on the flop in hand 1 since villain has an overpair so often and will get scard by overcards on the turn and can convince himself easily that you have a big draw to call.

    Hand 2 I like CR ai a non club, non 5 or 10 turn. There are quite a few reasons behind this play that I can list later if it's not clear.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

  6. #6
