Facing heat with TPTK

Postby poker2006 » Wed Jul 06, 2005 12:17 pm

Here button is a tight player, I only have 200 hands on her and she played 8% of hands, raising 4%. I don't remember any hands though, playing multiple tables. Looking at her now in PT, she lost forcing some TPTK hands like 88+A, but given the small sample I will asume she is a reasonable player.

How do you play TPTK out of position after you called a raise? I vary betting and chk-raise with TPTK, but tend to bet sets, hoping to stack the other person. How do you play against a tight and good player?

I saw she was tight, so I wanted to see what she does with that flop, and the bet looked very weak. Then the raise on the turn. I thought about it until time expired and I don't think a good player does that without beating AK.

Is my play reasonable or you play this differently?

I think this is a good lay down. My exprience with Rocks, is that they only Raise with AA and KK and both of those have you pretty dominated. One of the reasons I hate playing with rocks is it is so hard to get money out of them. They only bet when they have something very strong. No way a rock makes that play with anything else except for maybe 10's. But I still don't believe that most rocks will raise with 10's preflop, even if they are on the button.

Against a rock like this, I fold AK every time. You wont get paid if you pair up and he has QQ or lower....and if you dont pair up , you have to fold. The only other scenario is the one you got. You pair up and still get action which is bad news.
