DrStrange
4 of a Kind
We are playing eight handed, $0.25/$0.50, no limit Texas Hold'em. There is a $20 buy in cap to protect the weaker player - it is a friendly game. We had been playing "red king in the hole winning a pot gets a prize, but all 17 prizes are gone". The game is quite loose, semi-passive. It is starting to get late and we can hear the storm front approaching.
This is a different strategy post. Both David O and I were at the table. We will both be posting about the hand. David will be offering the villain description for me and vice-versa. David O is the Hero and the good DrStrange is the opening raiser. It is possible we aren't going to see things the same way.
Cast of characters.
Sitting in the small blind is David O. with $70. He has been solid all night, selective with his hands. Big hand of the night for him was middle set {999} played passively until later in the hand when he felted someone with top/bottom pair. Lets call him TAG with a looser limping range preflop. Post flop he is selectively aggressive, but in multiway action he tends not to have any air in his range aside from possible semi-bluffs. He has started to learn who are the soft spots at the table and how to deal with them
In the BB is a semi LAG/LP. with $50. Loose, passive preflop and a strange mix of tricky-passive / aggressive post flop. He can take strange lines and confound even the best of players. Solid winner in this game.
UTG has $70. He is tight for this game and plays fit fold post flop. Aggressive with premium hands, he does have a wide limping range.
MP1 is a bad manic with $20. He sets money on fire. Sticky, wildly aggressive at times with no logic to his betting that I can figure. Bad bad guy to catch on a heater because you will get burned. Mostly he has air though.
MP2 is the villainous DrStrange with $200+
CO has $30. Hyper loose, ultra passive preflop. Sticky! Rather aggressive post flop but she always bets $1 to $4 no matter the pot size. Let's say we all like to draw against her.
The button has $70. He is a loose-passive that is trying to be loose aggressive but can't quite bring himself to do so. He is scared money but also young/impetuous - it will be hard to figure which motive will be in play from hand to hand.
The hand:
UTG and MP1 limps. The Dr raises to $2.50. CO and Button call.
David O in the SB holds
. Action is on him, fold, call or raise? If raising how much?
David also will provide us with a villain read on DrStrange and perhaps will offer different reads on the other villains as well.
Fun times! -=- DrStrange

{the nuts plus a redraw to the nuts}. What is hero going to do?
into a six way flop. I like money enough not to do that.
