I am trying to start working with combos and I find it very difficult at the moment, I must admit. As if I don't have enough processing power at the table, feeling overwhelmed and get a blank here and there, and sometimes I take that long that I just give up . But I know off-table work should minimize that gradually.
Anyway, so this example is on the River. So it is a question of Call or Fold. Please bear in mind that the hand isn't 100% as it was, as I was in a pub after a few, but the jist of it should be there.
Cash Game €.10 €.20, Short-handed 4 players
Hero CO Kc5s (deep stack over 200bb)
Super LAG BB (deep stack over 200bb)
Tight semi-passive BTN (effective, roughly 80bb)
Hero raises .60c
TSP Calls, LAG calls, (pot €1.90)
Flop: Kd 3c 5d
I flopped 2 pairs and know I am in a good shape. LAG checks. I c-bet (value) for 1.50.
The TSP does not concern me, as I am primarily targeting the LAG. This guy does not fold, plays ABSOLUTELY any 2 suited cards. Usually check-raises, all ins on River, or big bets. Also he shows his cards almost always, especially his bluffs on River or when people fold to him. His bluffs the turn and river I'd say 80%.
Anyways, TSP calls. LAG calls (pot 5.40).
Turn: 9d
LAG checks, I c-bet 3, call, call. (Pot 15.40)
River: 3h
LAG checks, I check hoping just to call bet, TSP bets 5. I thought he hit the King or attempted to steal, he did that before (even though he is passive, but every time over run by the lag). The LAG re-raises to 15.
So here it is. How should I go about this? This dude plays any suited cards, literally. So with 3 diamonds on the board there is 45 combos remaining crushing me. There is also trips crushing me, how many combos is that? But then there is the fact that he 3/4 of the time raises/re-raises river with nothing!
So I called, hoping the Tight semi-passive would fold. I expected him to fold. Unless he had the flush. He folds. LAG shows Trips and beats my 2 pair. TSP had a King.
How would you best analyse the river call in regards to range. How can you mentally count a range of a dude that has VPIP like 80-90 and off like 60-70?
Sorry if the post is too confusing.
