Pulled this from my blog if you need any more info shout out.

Poker Stars, $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

BB: $9.20 (184 bb)
UTG: $3.97 (79.4 bb)
Hero (MP): $5.03 (100.6 bb)
CO: $5.57 (111.4 bb)
BTN: $5 (100 bb)
SB: $4.47 (89.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 6 A
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.15, 2 folds, SB calls $0.13, BB folds

Flop: ($0.35) 7 5 K (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.20, SB calls $0.20

Turn: ($0.75) 9 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.50, SB calls $0.50

River: ($1.75) K (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1.25, SB folds

Here is another hand, this was a looser passive player, but with a af high enough to where I think he would be raising the nuts. Again I felt my range could easily rep a AK KQ etc type hand. My river bet was Huuge though. I really think that was over kill. I don' t know if it was a plus EV bluff, but the 2nd king coming I just decided I needed to keep my story consistent so I bet big. I use to bet pretty big like this with TPTK hands (against this player type) and I kept getting folds, so I guess I went with what experience told me would get him to fold. Though I think long term (I.e where it matters) that bet sizing is probly -EV. taking another look at this I think the range hits a lot of mid pairs etc, so shaking him off a 7x or mid PP would make this a good spot to barrel, still not sure about my river sizing

I also don't like that these hands have no equity. That's something I am not really a fan of, and I think if I keep doing that it's going to be bad news bears.

Hi Chowchow12,

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: A few problems that I see right away:

- loose passive player (ie: fish, station, etc)
- trying to represent strong hands (that implies that the fish thinks in ranges)
- trying to bluff a loose passive fish (not the best idea usually).

I would personally give up on the turn as I doubt we have a lot of FE there. if you pick up a BFD then it gets better.

I understand, I am going to re-write that blog entry when I get home, I don't have the stats in front of me, but the player had stats like 30/12 with an AF of 1.2-1.7, and his WTSD wasn't very high, around 20? I don't know if that changes anything, I am not trying to argue, just adding information I feel I left out.

It depends on the sample size we have.

If we have a larger sample size and he is passive and not going to showdown then we may have a candidate for multiple barrels.

THat's somewhat rare though (a player like that ).
