He sure plays a lot of hands, but that's just preflop... He is the fit or fold type who of course thrives on sets like so many of the limp/callers around.. Still, he is not a classic set miner by any means as he knows how to play for str8 or flush... At least that's what I've seen... My point is, he is not as bad as his VPiP stat suggests, but neither is he good enough to play things right most of the time...
Now the hand...
$0.5/$1 No Limit Holdem
5 players
Converted at
Profiles and Stacks:
UTG ($192.92)
Hero ($216.18) 22.1/15.1/2.3 (457)
BTN ($47.41)
SB ($220.77) 50.6/13.5/2.9 (362)
BB ($98.07)
Pre-flop: ($1.5, 5 players) Hero is CO [9h]
1 fold, Hero raises to $4, 1 fold, SB calls $3.5, 1 fold
Flop: [2d][4d] ($9, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $6, SB calls $6
I am CBetting because that's what I do, and if he doesn't have anything he will fold. besides, this is a good flop for my CB, right?
Turn: ($21, 2 players)
SB bets $2, Hero raises to $21, SB raises to $40, Hero calls $19
at this point I wanted to see how good is my set and maybe represent a flush. when he minraises me after his donk bet is raised I am pretty certain he has very strong flush. now I call because it's an easy call for me given his small raise and my chance to boat up on the river. I don't think a shove is any good here.
River: ($101, 2 players)
SB bets $47, Hero goes all-in $166.18, SB calls $119.18
now, this is fairly easy... only thing that beats me are JJ and 22 and there's no way he is having those..
Final Pot: $433.36
