4 of a Kind
We are playing $0.25/$0.50, six handed. The game started with ten players but we have had a lot of attrition in four hours. That is expected in this game. Several folks try to leave by 11 for various reasons. Not everyone makes adjustments for short handed play - but then some players here play more like it is four handed than a full table.
Cast of characters:
First two fold.
CO is a semi-loose but Aggressive player - likely playing TAG considering its six handed with $45. Her post flop play is weak because she is too sticky and that makes her a modest loser.
Button is normally a semi loose / moderately aggressive preflop - fit fold post flop player. But the stakes are low and he is way ahead so his play is looser preflop and more aggressive post flop. He is the big winner by far tonight with $400. {that is more impressive than it seems because the buy in rules for this game are $20 max buy-ins. So his stack is 20 buy-ins}
Hero is the small blind with $120. Things have gone OK for Hero but there have been several big pots that didn't go Hero's way. Everyone has many hours of table time with Hero but if they could be swayed by the night's action, then they wouldn't be too afraid of Hero.
The big blind has $25. He is one of the worst players I know, but not THE worst. A true LAGtard in every sense. Sticky, wildly aggressive {with solid bet sizing tells}, bluffs way too much often with no logic behind the bluffs. Cap that off with a huge buy in for this game so he is swinging at everything to try and catch up.
The hand:
Two folks bring us to the CO. She raises to $1.50, her default bet. Button calls. Big blinds calls out of turn {binding if Hero folds or calls}.
Action on Hero with
- fold, call or raise. If raising, how much? Unlike my 1-2 game, this crowd might fold if Hero just bets every time he gets a chance. Not that they would fold top pair/good kicker or better but they might fold worse. Except the BB, he might call with some really dubious hands that beat A2 on a missed flop.
