Hello,
I know of a player who always checks no matter what he has but also sometimes bets, raises and the like. I never saw him even once considering anything. He can check pocket aces, raise 72o, etc. I find it really hard to play against him. Any strategy to suggest?
Many thanks,
Andrew
Andrew,
I would play small ball poker and keep the pot small with this person preflop. If you then hit the flop strong, then punish your opponent. See more cheap flops and push your strong hands against him.
Hi there!
Say you hold you hold pocket Aces and then someone goes all-in pre-flop, would you call? Is it always justified or recommended to make such a move? But how about if you’re sure a player will call your all-in?
Well, I would first consider some factors before calling however a pair of aces seems to be always the favorite pre-flop. Also, if you have the opportunity of doubling up or busting someone out and luckily you have the favorite, then calling will be a good one. What’s on your thoughts about this?
Thanks!
Warm regards,
Leo
Leo,
I am always calling an all-in bet to me preflop when I am holding pocket aces. There is really only one time you would even consider folding Aces preflop. If you were in a super satellite that paid 6 seats to a major tournament and there were seven players left, I might fold pocket aces preflop if I was a bigger stack. I would sit back and let the smaller stacks fight it out. Other than this one scenario, I am calling all-in with my aces, or moving all in if the situation warrants it.
