NL100 Weird line, what's his range?

Old hand I played like two weeks ago.

Villain is 14/10 over 300 hands, seems to be a decent winner at these stakes.

this hand is a level right?

his range is AA/KK at worst

looks like 77 QQ TT QT AA KK or some weird ass move

fold flop, if not, check back turn

u butchered this hand big time, I don't care about the results

Is this ever AK, AJ, KJ?

If the answer is no, then okay. If the answer is yes, what's flawed with getting it in on a non J K or A turn?

I probably should have hidden my hand because I wanted the discussion to be about his range, not mine.

wtf are you doing calling this flop vs a 13/10 and with a hand that is most likely drawing dead, snap fold the flop.
This is just so bad, even if he is taking a weird line with AK(which he prolly wouldnt) you are flipping vs that, this is a huge spew.

Argh okay basically I'm asking what range goes with this weird line.

I'm aware of what my equity is even when his range for this line is both nuts and draws, and that I didn't have a solid read to base a decision on, which is why this hand is obviously played very poorly. I already understand that. It was played 2 weeks ago and I was probably tilting a bit.

Basically I figured he would take a weird line like this with a range of AJ, AK and all monsters. Vs that I have roughly 45% equity. My thought process at the time was to call his flop raise and get it in on any non J K or A turn. On a T turn, I have 55% equity against the same range.

I'm simply asking when a reg plays a hand like this that is outright weird, what do you expect his range to be on the turn? Mostly nuts? Air and nuts? Only draws? I am totally aware I butchered the hand. But I'm not asking if I played this right.

90+% of the time i see a reg take a weird line they have the nuts and are playing it in a messed up way to try and get value.

I hope you do understand where your logic was bad, even if he has that range he doesnt take that line with air nearly as often on the flop so you dont have anything close to 45% imo, and even in the rare case he does you still cant get it in on the turn because he will not follow thru 100% of the time, this is a nit your dealing with and gotta act accordingly.
This line, especialy from a really nitty player that is aware of his nitiness is just to induce a bet or two out of you, dont fall for this, honestly this is like a set so often its not funny.

If he doesn't follow through, then that's good because I take down the pot uncontested, right? As opposed to folding, I win the pot.

But no I totally understand where my logic was bad, I just posted my thought process to make sure nobody thinks I'm just blindly mashing buttons. I am definitely NOT going to argue that my logic was good, because I don't think it was either.

Its not good because you originaly said you want to get it on a good turn and if he doesnt follow thru you can see why that idea is suicidal, and even if he does check you cant really win the pot uncontested because he can still c/r or c/c so its still a gross spot.

i think the point was that having 55% against that range isnt relevant because he can choose to get the last $80 in only with the monsters

To be honest, when I played the hand, I changed my mind on the turn when he c/r me and thought he would ONLY do this with AK or AJ, so basically I simply didn't think this line was ever the nuts lol. That's why I shipped it in and actually felt okay about it.

Seeing as nobody agrees with me, I am obviously WAY off here .

I mean, he definitely can have KJ and 98 here, but it doesn't mean he does have them. Thats why mixing semi bluffs into your range in spots like these are so profitable, because you have to fold 55, because you get crushed by the top of his range, don't do so well against the rest, and can't really play the hand profitably on future streets (I mean you got one of the best turn cards that's not a 5 and it's still tough). Unless you have the specific read that he is horribly unbalanced and only plays draws fast, you have to fold.

Keep in mind that he's tight so he probably only has at most 8 semibluff combos of KJs and 98s.

If you do call flop, which I think is a mistake, check back turn to try and get to showdown.

Honestly, his line really looks like QQ that locked up the board on the flop and c/r because he didn't know what you'd call with, then c/r the turn again because he was nutted and didn't care when the money went in.

quads obv

Even if it is it's no good. Those hands you mention still have good equity against you and they're not folding. Not to mention that those hands wouldn't play like that. A tight guy is not just gonna spew into you for no reason at all. This is a pretty terrible hand. Experimenting is good but this is simply bad play and I don't think anyone needs to explain why.

man you might have worse fancy play syndrome than me.

certainley looks a lot like a turned boat

oi


you in some kinda trouble here

lol this is embarrassing

Where's that gif of the little boy throwing some kung fu moves, and then running away from the chicken? That's pretty accurate here.
