  • How nitty can you get?

    Posted by rabman50 on March 8, 2021 at 1:41 am

    What would you do?

    $5.00 SNG 15/30 NL – Holdem – 9 players

    Hero (MP+1): 75.67 BB

    MP+2: 71.37 BB

    CO: 76.1 BB

    BTN: 55.87 BB

    SB: 68.13 BB

    BB: 63.43 BB

    UTG: 66.3 BB

    UTG+1: 62.3 BB

    MP: 60.83 BB

    9 players post ante of 0.1 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

    Pre Flop: (pot: 2.4 BB) Hero has Ks Kd

    fold, UTG+1 raises to 2.2 BB, fold, Hero raises to 6.9 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, BB calls 5.9 BB, fold

    Flop: (17.4 BB, 2 players) 9c7s2c

    BB checks, Hero bets 11.5 BB, BB raises to 33 BB

    I have 57BBs left in my stack. A call is out of the question as that creates a pot of 83BB and a stack of 24BBs behind. So raise all-in or fold. What would you do?

    I have 404 hands on the villain. His stats are 24/15/11. FCB 40. Seems to be solid and seldom gets out of line. May be a little sticky on the flop. In the 404 hands he never XR the flop. What hands do this?

    Obvious possibilities are 99, 77, 22, 97s, and any of the Acxc draws. Does he do this with QQ-TT? How about T8s? Anything else in his range?

    To show you how nitty I am I ended up folding.

    Okay peeps bash Rob time let’s hear it.

    This all comes down to the opponent for me. If I think they are capable of doing this with top pair, I’m calling. So I want an opponent who has A9s, 89s, and 109s in their possible check raise range. I think a lot of players are capable of doing that, especially at lower stakes. If this is a thinking player, they’ll realize that in a three-bet pot their 9s and even 1010/JJ are in trouble and should not be check raising very often. If I’m fairly confident this player won’t show up with those hands, I don’t mind this fold if I’m just mostly expecting to see sets, two pairs, and nut club draws. But I do think this is an exploitive, opponent-dependent fold. If I knew nothing about the opponent, I think this is a shove.
