Ok i usually play my normal game but the villains a muppet hes 70/20 and he RR and CR almost every bet. Hes got a nice run of hands and managed to stack one or two players. Ive been involved with him in a couple of hand 1) where he as usually RR me when i hit Top Pair on the flop and overcard came on the turn and he bet 3/4 pot the river brought 2 pairs for me but also KQJT rainbow board and he pushed for $100 and i covered but folded. 2) Another hand i had AA i raised to 2 he RR to 3.75 MP called i RR to 12 he called. I bet 12 on the flop to induce his habital RR and he min RR to 24 i pushed and he folded.

So you get the picture but whats are strategy against this type of player, are we willing to get in a big pot with middle or bottom pair, what about the hand i described above with 2 pair on a KQJT board, do we always fold here and wait for a better spot or how light do we call someone like this. Heres 2 hands after the ones above. Muppet is Marislaw.

Comments on this, how did i play it?


Hand 2:

The other Villain in the hand was a good multitabling TAG playing something like 25/18 and ive heard him comment on stats, position etc so he has at least a basic knowledge of poker. I definetely not itching to get into a battle with the TAG but i know Marislaw is very likely to call so i go along for the ride.

Comments on how i played the flop here, i think the rest of the hand played itself once the TAG folded but when Sensation smooth calls should i be RR here with the FD?

Hand 1: I'd definity re-raise him again on the flop, and be tempted to shove.

Hand 2: I'd raisee the flop again here.

I love these types of players because they always donk their chips away to me.

Hand 1:

Sensation247 is 25/18 so I'm probably 3 betting 10-10 preflop.

Re-raise flop, I don't want to give him a free card to hit a higher pair. If your hand was less vulnerable I'd probably let him bluff his chips away.

Calling down turn and river is fine, he could be betting here with a lot of trash.

Hand 2:

Your hand is less vulnerable but since it's multiway on a two tone board I might raise the flop.

Turn is fine.

Whatever gets all the chips in the middle is the best line here tbh.

DVD what hands did he show for both these?
