    One thing I wouldn’t mind seeing you do in these kinds of situations is down betting on dry boards like that. The best they can on average have is top pair and some kind of gutterball with backdoor suits. There is no need to bet 25 into like 35. Bet 15 or even less. That way there raise is smaller allowing you to call and decide turns for less. While also allowing weaker hands to continue before deciding on your turn sizing.

    Overall I would say you can call here and possibly fold turns. If he is a winning player he can put pressure on here knowing you likely only continue with top pair, KK or AA. Most other opening hands, this flop is better for his range. Then you should have called and decided turns.

    Well being that flop is quite wet I would have favored just calling the flop. Also a larger sizing preflop would have been better. Most live 1/2 will call raises if they have already decided to limp. So if your usual raise is 8 to 10 with no limped. I would say make this somewhere in the realm of 15 to 20 after 3 limpers.

    Once flop comes I would call. Then decide turns as these low limit players think they are negreanu and can play suited connectors all the time not realizing they are wasting more money than they are making on these hands.

    Bad luck though with that flop. Take sometime and level out. Dont let ego tilt affect your play. Losses happen. Take the swings as they come.

    Well first off if he straddled utg you shouldn’t be acting first. It should be utg+1. I would think that if everyone limps to you and he has history to raise his straddle you shouldn’t take advantage by limp calling. You should be punishing his range or just raising yourself. I prefer if you just raise yourself and decide if he spazzes out.

    Then flop I would be in check call mode leading into him allows him to fold if he has worse sometimes. And pot controlling would not be to lead. I think you are getting some terms mixed up. Let him continue to barrel all bluffs and weaker hands. You would likely see him lead and the button call. You can decide to squeeze or just check call. When you turn more outs I would say continue to let him barrel. I would likely check call. Then check decide rivers unless you get there and he has shown to check back.

    So I dont like the lead or the limp call. You should be trying to pile money in there if like you said he pays off even with weak hands

    I would say a flop flat, turn check and river decide.

    But with your line of call flop bet turn, then you likely need to shove river. His play already looks weak, paired with tour reads I would have shoved. Wired he would play AA so weak.

    But best line is to check and realize and equity and bluff catch. So likely be checking turn planning on calling any river bet.

    It always good to post your hands for analysis and see what comes of it. It will be different because of the 100 cap. Especially for 2/5 when it’s starts hindering your sizingin 3bet pots. But no matter what analysis and talking about hands is good. I’ll respond to some of your posts for constructive purposes.

    Well the payout structure was top heavy. I wanted to win but I should have probably folded and got into the money then started shove fold play to steal blinds from these weak players

    Thanks Chuck. Came out pretty good. Actually just had a friend who is a local artist do a custom piece for me. Makes the room look dope.

    Yeah it does. The 100 cap is all of Colorado gambling
    poker room

    Poker room turned out pretty good I think. Took me about a week to build the new tsble. I did it with a raised rail everywhere but in front of the dealer. I still need to figure out how I want to do the rope lights underneath the rail. That and cut the holes in my support table so the cup holders sit flush. But for now I think it looks great. Definitely feel accomplished. Then just odds and ends stuff to give it a good touch. Last thing is working with local artist to do a custom poker mural.

    I have played some 2/5 at the ameristar. It really depends on the day. Sometimes it’s a soft game and sometimes it’s filled with regs. Just really depends. The dynamic is still hindered though. The 100 cap just doesn’t leave much room to manuver.

    I’m not so sure with the limp reraise. Because this is usually reserved for hands that won’t 3bet fold to a 4bet. Unless the 4bet is from the maniac. So you are actually overrepping your hand. The maniac isn’t the only person at the tsble and most maniacs attract action and people put the limp 3bet or call 4bet into their QQ+ and AK range. So if you get someone to call you planning on 4betting the maniac then your going to get blown off your hand. I would say it’s better to raise call.

    You would avoid the high variance situation of possibly getting 4bet. Then you need to decide call then have a weird SPR situation then get it in and not feel great about it if the board comes undercards. Or check decide on some overcards
    .

    Being a maniac, you can exploit his plays post flop that don’t increase the size of the pot immensely and make the flop a shove or fold scenario. You want to play pots with him but not as th e expense of manuverbility post flop.

    As played it’s a call. Some more info that you are for sure on would be good.

    But if your going to raise over 4 limpets you should be making it like 7-9x the BB.

    Then when two limpets cal we can comfortably put them on small pairs. Some suited connectors and suited broadway. This flop kind of crushes a limp calling range. Better play would be to check evaluate. Since your hand isn’t nutted really at all. You are never getting better to fold and maybe get worse 10s to cal. So your bet would accomplish much outside of bloating the pot or letting some blow you off your hand.

    This is a pretty marginal cbet IMO. But as played. You have to call.

    But definitely for some advice. Try to be aware of everything at the table. Stack sizes do play big into decision making. Knowing effective playing stacks should change the way you approach a hand. Then to give accurate hand histories try to take notes or make post very soon after the hand so we are getting a lot of info for the hand. Also player type is helpful for an accurate analysis.

    You played it pretty good. Check calling flop and turn is pretty good. Keeping his range wide continuing forward. But I think this is a clear raise turn. If he has his big pairs he isn’t folding often on this board to turn raise. Sets you up to shove river when you raise turn. If he does have a flush draw and gets there the money is getting in.

    But if your going to check river this is a definite shove. Yes he can have kings in his range. But considering all the other hands he has in his range you have like 93% equity against that range. Definitely a shove if you check this river. Just calling is just too nitty.

    Yeah I was thinking about sizing up but I figured I can’t get a ton of value from worse.

    I figured it was ok. He is one of the few I sometimes talk strategy with cause he is a cool guy and berated me for it. I was certain my thought process was reasonable. Just wanted to be sure.

    Well it kind of depends. If you have gotten a decent amount of standard strategy and have been playing for a while. The best way is not to read books but instead talk poker with friends. That in my experience has taught me more than all the books I have read. Best to have a few friends who are avid players and just talk poker sometimes.
