I think I made the right fold, what do you think?

I only have 40 hands on Villian, but he has been a total nit playing 4/4/2. My table image (I think) is TAG.

  • Dirty flop, but if you wanted to try to win this one, why not put out a bet on the turn if you thought villain might be a nit as you claim? I find a lot of players will flat call every flop and then make their move in position on the turn with total garbage.

    Most likely fold here though all the same. He came out firing big, and flat calling the flop, so yes, he might be riding AK and you're dead. Playing against aggressive nits can be difficult to get a read on and he most likely hit his K9s hard.
  • I'm not sure I see why you bet the flop?

    edit: if you check you get to see how the third reacts to a likely c-bet and you also get some sense of the orig. raisers strength based on their timing and bet sizing.

    how likely is that in the range of a 4/4/2?

    a range of 99+,AQs+,AKo represents 4.2% of hands.

    QQ is almost a 6-4 fav PF against this range and a bit less on the flop. on the turn it becomes a slight dog.
  • I like this fold.

    When I was reading it, I was putting him on TT+, AT+, KJs+. To be honest, I was thinking JJ for sure with a raise that big. I'm thinking AK or pocket pair JJ+. If he's a donk, then TT+ (as stated above)

    Out of this range, what hands beat you?

    Anything with a K

    JJ - KK and AA

    He could be suited for a draw too, but also hit his J.

    I could see him with AcJc.

    I like this fold. It's one to think about for sure though. Too bad you didn't have a better read on him.

    i need to understand what kind of 'read' we need to have on someone who is playing 4/4/2. assuming those numbers are correct, i stated the range above and your ev against that range. put a bow on that and put it under the tree.

    I'm actually not sure what 4/4/2 is referencing. Could you explain?

    Also, reads can change the range of hands the player could be holding. For example, if you've seen him raise the same amount with pocket 5's. You can now put him on more hands, making a call more possible.

    Or, if you know he is super tight and passive, you would know he probably has the nuts, which makes the fold easier.

    His turn check showed weakness. Maybe he's the type of player that likes to steam roll people who show weakness and was waiting for it. If he saw this happen previously, that could change the decision.

    Either way, I don't know what 4/4/2 is. Is that the ICM or something? I should go research this for furture reference.
  • 4/4/2 is VPIP(Voluntarily put money in pot), PFR (Preflop Raise %), AF (Aggression Factor - postflop)

    in other words, the guy is incredibly tight and generally plays his monsters aggressively. not very likely he has moved far from his comfort zone with this hand. the range i quoted above is accurate for this type of player. the ev calculation stems from that.

    i think it would be helpful to know the OP's numbers as well. assuming the opponent is tracking this, it may have some impact on the type of hand he is playing here, although i'm pretty confident he has an extremely narrow range...

    In that case, I see your point.
