Bristol St. hand
Friendly 0.25/0.25 max BI $40, all players have logged dozens to hundreds of hours with each other.
About an hour and a half in, the action is obscenely loose, with one player being down about 400bb.
Most hands are raised to 1.25+ and seeing flops 3+ handed.
The lone dissenter, who has been sitting on his wallet for the entire 1.5hrs not raising, folding out of the blinds for .50c into $3 and such.. raises to $1.50 with AKss after a few limpers..
He gets 5 callers, pot is about $9:
Flop is AXX rainbow..
What is your play and why?

board is something like A496 rainbow..
What is your play now if:
A: you'd bet $4
B: you'd bet pot
C: you'd bet $6
1 caller
(he's in the blinds btw)
So this was while Mario was railing/begging?
i might check raise sometimes but im not a cash game player. didn't say how many at the table..
If as tight as advertised he/she's going to get re-raised.
we're getting hung up on a section I would've never imagined we would..
if you think you're ahead of him, you'd take a turn..he'll c-bet nearly 100% otf, but he'll never two barrel with like ..JJ or call a RR without a meca-ace.
You're not raising him without a monster that you want to get paid off on.
He hasn't played a hand remember, so roughly this.. everyone else is equal to or over him.
wat?
Why would you want to do this? Plz explain.
I bet $9 because I don't want to see any more cards.
can you clarify, do you think this is the best possible play? You've effectively argued against it already.
NO!!
I thought you asked to play said hand as mega-nit.
I'm asking you to play it as best you can with HIS image, obviously..I already know how the mega-nit plays it..I was there.:D
Second place would be a come hither $4 bet but it probably gets less action.
as I said, this guys cbet is near 100%, I expect the other players to figure out that
a: He never checks and that is scary
b: when he check raises we are fucked harder than Jenna Jameson
What are your hopes and dreams with the $4 bet? (I like this bet btw)
I'm hoping someone sees it as weakness and fires a raise at it. If I'm in MP with a semi-bluffable hand I'd take a shot at moving that tight of a player off of it....
wow this is a contraversial thread, im thinking about reporting you...
ok i was wondering this too and erased my comment in this regard. with that image, and my playing style i am thinking i would play the same way. its likely ill be pegged with that hand and that everyone will assume ill push a re raise even all in. ive left myself a tough decision if i get raised though, because its possible many people would bluff at me since they are loose and i am somewhat weak tight. with less people i might shove but there are 5 in the pot an maybe more at the table.
then i go tell cameron diaz that i found some sort of portal in my office.
Shrugs..sometimes nits don't buy in for max.
If it makes it easier, I'll add a *kindly presume that I will tell you if they do something weird* disclaimer
Lol, Being John Malkovich reference ITT.
There are no semi-bluffable hands on this unconnected board.
Let's think about this..give him JJ or better aqs or better...(yes, this is the range..don't argue)
If we're this 'raising MP' 18 fold and 20 smoke us, I don't think a raise with air on an A high board is a good play here.
BTW the semi-bluff play is not a good card play but it's a plausible "player" play....if you're certain he's as tight as you made him to be and he leads out with a $3 bet.
King high board, I'm with you..but A high it is too break even. You could float the flop and take it when he can't double barrel for less, if you really want this pot.
If hand selection is impeccable how do 5 players call his raise pre?
