[btimm's Poker Blog] Are You an Elephant?: Here is the really interesting part of the hand. He fires a second bullet. I think on one hand, give that I 3bet and check/called the flop, he has to think I have a made hand, some pocket pair. Against a decent reg, my hand is truly face up at this point. He should know I have KK, QQ, or TT. Since he knows this, is he capable of bluffing this turn to get me to fold a lot of hands? I think he could be capable of doing so. On the other hand, he could be firing with an ace or JJ as well. I think it is a very difficult spot, as only an ace, JJ, or 33 beat me, and I think he basically never has 33 here for obvious reasons. I opt to call, as I think he could be trying to get me to fold hands like what I have.
[akqj10's Tunica Poker Blog] Preflop short-stacked: Exploiting a LAG to my right: it’s whether $27 is better than some other strategy, say, smooth calling with AA-JJ and folding everything else when my neighbor raised. That math is much harder because now I have to play well postflop, at least on the flop. I’d imagine AA and KK have much better than $27, but I need them for cover. QQ and JJ are probably about break even, and then I’m just mucking the rest of my range there. So I think playing all these hands aggressively is much better than playing “normally”, which induces my opponent to play more-or-less perfectly after his original raise. But I’m open to be convinced that another strategy would be more effective.
