    5 10, bottomr set, absurd spot v bad reg
    24 Jun 2009 at 12:20pm

    this guy is an awful regular, borderline fish. He likes to limp reraise a fair amount, no idea what he does it with. He calls a lot pf and mutiple streets postflop w very poor hands. He is running ultra hot this session and we have not tangled much.

     

    1k stacks I open 22 in MP, he calls in CO and its HU to flop

    I opt to c.f  T64r but he checks back.

    The turn is a 2 bringing backdoor hearts. I go for the c.r again but miss. Anyone prefer a lead here?

    River is 8o, I pot it and he shoves. Lol I am lost. I doubt he is ever bluffing. I assume his value shoving range is oesd's or gutters he checked back the whole time, 8T, and maybe maybe some crap 2 pair like 84 although his river shove makes me think 84 isnt so likely. Do I fold my set here.

    I would almost never fold the set there..... only hands that beat you are 79 or a higer set.   How many big blinds was the shove ????....pot was like $88?

    I do like a to lead almost always when theres str8 and flush draws on the board.   T642....... 2 hearts?

    A3h, A5h, AXh hands are the nut flush draws . 79o, 79h  for the str8 maybe,  but not likely .. I think a bet on the turn is in order.

    Did you fold?

    I think its a fairly easy fold, and im NOT a nit.

    You already said this guy is retarded, but there's like maybe 2 hands you beat that play this way I guess?

    MAYBE, he shoves 1k into a 85$ pot with T8/T6, but I think it's much more likely that he has 53/57/97/88 and sometimes a badly played 44/66 - you have $80 in the middle, pick a better spot.

    I think you will sometimes pick off a shove with a worse hand, but i also think that this spastic is often going to show you the relative nuts in this spot, while slapping his thighs and saying," look pa, the fish done call me, haw, haw "
