This hand is played against a reg player at these stakes, who i have played many games with recently. I know he is tight and that he should therefore have a strong value hand here.
He is a moderate losing dym player overall according to s/s and i think he just grinds for the points. He also knows, or should know, that i turn up with hands alot here too. I cant remember playing that many hands against this dude tho.
what do you think of my lline here...?
I do call but i did tank call... (god im a nit!)
result later...

ref hand, villain calls min open from early now if he is tight he should never have 23, and seeing that he min-raised flop he should never have any 3x(a3?), as it would not make much sense, your beaten by 55, a3 only imo,, and his beatable value range could be aj, aQ, a5s, a4s.
Pot odds wise he is giving you 2.5-1 to call, so you need to be right around 35% to make the call profitable, even vs tight player with us having a set this is good odds, i call this, more info + be it a dym it could be a fold though.
ref line, you flop call sucks imo, love the donk lead btw, just get it in on that flop imo.
In a 55 quid dym you win 50 cash for points etc. etc..
Ye my line is totally screwed, i donk lead to get value from an ace, and when he min raises i thought he could fold a ace to a jam cos my play looks so strong, so i decided to play down the streets in this manner.
Pre flop fine. You've set mined and caught great(8-1 chance lovely!). Rainbow too but Ace is there. Favourable really as keeps him in maybe.
He check raises you and you are thinking "is his A paired or is it just AK?" You check but at this stage i want to know more and would reraise up to 750 ie 2.5x his raise. It will leave you 1000 and give you your answer, i feel.
He has enough chips left to fold and isn't pot committed. Personally, i could see his play being exactly the same from here with AA or Ak. His min raise pre is puzzling though but could be a tell you may have seen before. A bit of a slowplay to get peoplein pot with AA. Is that the norm in £22ers? i doubt it, but i don't know as too expensive for me(just herefor less than 1 year and still learning).
Even the way you play it, i'd still call without any notes on his playing tendancies.
CALL AND BE DAMNED, GREG, ...YOU CAN AFFORD IT NOW AFTER SPT CASH!!!
PS EVEN IF IT GOES BADLY WITH AA THEN YOU'VE GAINED VALUABLE INFO ON THIS PLAYER THAT CAN SAVE YOU CHIPS IN THE FUTURE.
And i was only beating AQ imo. (which he had!)
He could have 55 and AA and play it in the same way. I wasnt worried about flushes or straights...
In hindsight i crai on the turn, but i still only think im getting called by AQ or if im crushed...
always give your opponant credit until proven otherwise
get me in on turn - check river only for crai
we are talkin about a reg here who bearly lifts a chip, let alone against me...
this is one of those ultra rare occasions
