I'm on tilt ... but how bad is my play? ($100 nl fr)

Postby k3nt » Mon Sep 17, 2007 5:34 pm

$100 NL FR at Bodog. Full ring is a very different game than 6-max, which is why this guy stood out right away.

This guy was raising to 3x and 4x preflop, from any position, with all kinds of crap. He was up to $300 at the table.

Relatievely early in the session, after I've noticed him raise these amounts like 4 times in 8 hands, I get KQ OTB and call his 3x raise (he's utg+2) after 1 other caller. He weak CBs the [9d][7d][2c] flop, I decide has has nothing and call after the other 2 fold. Turn [Qs] he checks, I bet 1/2 pot, he thinks and calls. River [Qd], he checks, I value bet 1/2 pot, he quickly calls and tables [Jd][2d]. I grumble and make some more notes.

A bit later, I watch as he raises 98, bets the flop weak again on a T7x flop, checks the turn, and value bets the river 2/3 pot when he catches a 6 for the nuts.

Then comes this hand. He raises to $4 again, this time utg, I'm down to $65 at the table because I just lost the previous hand. I'm a little tilty, I can feel my good judgment slipping away. So I call in position. I'm the only caller. Actually it doesn't matter what my hand is because I'm pretty sure I know what he's doing. The flop is KQ2 with 2 spades, he bets $4 into the $9.50 pot, I'm putting him on, well, who knows what, but not a made hand, so I raise it up to $15, he thinks and calls. I'm putting him on a draw of some kind. Pot is about $40, the turn is an offsuit 7. He checks and I push my last $45. I have no hand, fwiw.

How bad is this? I'm guessing it's pretty bad, but I can't decide.

I'm posting this both to atone for my sin of playing on tilt, and to do a little to counteract the "Kent plays weak tight all the time" theory that's floating around here.... :D

I don't like you push because you started the hand short at $65. You will look tilty or even donkish with a short stack so FE is very low.

Against these type of guys, I think you must, must reraise preflop. In your KQ hand before, I'd either reraise him preflop or fold preflop if I just didn't like KQ enough. I'd never flat call pf or on the flop b/c their hand range is so wide.

If you reraise, two things will happen:
1) He starts folding and calming down,
2) He starts playing back at you but now the pot is raised/reraised and you are likely to get it in with the better hand since he's playing junk and you're playing premium hands.

Preflop reraise a must for me.
