Hi guys,

Villians ist preflop loose limp/calls every time and sometimes limp/reraises. However postflop he is realy aggro, i saw a bunch of big overbets (no sd) from him.

Notes:
NL100 6m 24/05/2012 -- badaggro postflop
mincheck/raise/call with OESD on dry Jxx check/call turn with hit
bigbluffraise ip on AA3ss 25-6,5-10

Do you fold a hand like AcT AcQ AK etc if this guy check/raises? My tought is that i have the best hand here most of the time. villians prefloprange is pretty wide and he is able to check/raise any overcards gutshots and even pure air. With the notes above i think he would not raise a flush/set/twopair... and raise a flushdraw not that big. So i callt with position. Turn is probably the best card for me. But i am not sure what the best play is. bet/fold small to fold out his air or bet big and call it off? If i bet 30 i need 27% equity, vs 9c8x or K8s i have ~30%

What do u think?

i might check behind on the flop already. seems unlikely your going to get any better hand to fold. i think the problem wiht someone like that where ui have a note that he checkraises his draws, he is likely to do it with pairs+ as well giving him a decently balanced range.
you loose the chance to fold out his air EQ, but against this guy I wait till I have a made hand and then get in as much as possible.

as played im still checking behind on the turn. if he has anything, I doubt hes going to fold.

i would bet 6 and if he calls id jam river. If he raises id call if i get the odds to do so.

easy check behind on turn, if he's check folding turn is unlikely to bluff river, and can bluff him off small pairs or better aces if he checks river, bet pretty much any river when checked to and fold if he leads on most rivers

Learn to construct cbetting ranges instead of just blasting at every flop with some equity, especially if you're thinking about folding your equity when getting raised.

As played just bet turn small and fold to a shove. I'm assuming villain will not play back at you again with air when you told him pretty clearly that you have something. With that assumption then betting the river again if he calls is lighting money on fire.

Hi,

thanks for all your answers.

Learn to construct cbetting ranges instead of just blasting at every flop with some equity, especially if you're thinking about folding your equity when getting raised.

And how should i construct such a range for me?

You should construct a range to villains tendencies.....You know hes aggro post-flop so why are you c-betting this hand?? one that really cant stand a raise?? check back those hands or be c-betting hands you dont mind getting raised with and stacking off per say.

I think a lot of villains will play sets like this and check/call a (reasonable) bet on the turn. Not all villains are snap calling blank rivers (i.e. some will fold their set).. Obviously it depends on villains but I'm pretty sure as played it's a mandatory bet/jam vs. some villains (and just a give up vs. others)

Against a villian who is likley to raise cbets we should construct a polarised cbetting range as we dont mind folding air and continuing with value.This hand,against this villian on this board is likely ahead and has good backdoor equity checking flop is best play IMO.
As played bet/fold turn and bet river if we improve.

You need to XB the flop in order to protect your equity.

As played on the flop: I prefer to 3bet the flop because your are pretty much dead against villain's shoving range but your will have to fold on most turns should villain bet again.

As played on the flop: XB turn. You should have zero FE and plenty of equity to protect.

Ok thanks guys.

aggro player --> polarized cbet range, make sense
