Preflop

Everyone folds to the player in middle position. He’s an aggressive Swedish pro, with 136,250 chips, and he raises to 5,000. Two hands earlier, the villain lost 20% of his stack on a bluff on the river.

You’re on the button with K♥K♦ and a stack of 130,500.

A: Villian is slightly tilted due to losing 20% of their stack bluffing in a previous hand and is still willing to keep up the aggression so close to the bubble. I see no point in raising here as all we are doing is getting worse hands to fold. Electing to call in position will disguise the strength of your hand. It will also give the villian the chance to barrel on all three streets with a weaker hand.

my answer= what mark said : D

That won't count @B165L1Ck75 you need to publish on your own profile ;)

Rais auf 25K...

hehehe : p

 

what do you expect to gain from it. We wait for these postions all the time in poker and look to get as much value as possible from our opponent. If we raise pre flop there is no way we get value from our hand as the villian can be raising any 2. This is the positions we dream of in poker. dont throw them away when you get it.

smart analysis Mark I was not going that far lol

Please Like and i will in return like yours too  @Khaine Dean 

maybe a bit easy analysis but still ok

I don't think he ever folds unless we make it like 30-40k

 

I raise that 100% of the time, he is never folding unless he has complete air which you wont get value from anyways postflop. Raise 15-20k and let him bluff even bigger !

I raise to 37,000 total #HandMalta #BOMpreflop 

@Adrien Vergnaud @tiptopadam nice comments :) Please notice that you need to post them on your own blogs to participate in the mission ;) Don't foget the hahstgas :)

You've been a lot to play on this mission, so you have 24 more hours to get likes for this 1st step! The FLOP will be revealed tomorrow.

Is it possible you are leaving chips on the table with this play? Don't get me wrong. I don't hate it. But for max value, we want to make this pot just a little bit bigger, so that the c-bet and eventual bluff hold more value as well. Our hand also loses value when we invite more players into the hand by flatting the raise.
