Situation - Villain in the cut-off, weakest player at the table - clearly inexperienced live. He didn't know to bring chips from the cage, didn't know there was a seating fee, etc. It's the kind of table where everyone calls preflop unless facing massive aggression. Blinds are 1/2

Hero on the button with KK. Two early position limps. Villain raises to $12. Hero re-raises to $40, folds back to villain who calls. Pot is $45. Villain has $40 behind. Hero has $70 behind.


Flop comes A 7 4 rainbow. Villain shoves his $40.


Hero calls, turn and river are inconsequential as villain shows A9 off-suit

NH.

Also, stop playing at casinos with a seating fee! Unless the table is rake free. I've played live in Vegas, Reno, SF, San Diego, Atlantic City, Foxwoods, and Maryland and never paid a seating fee.

In Oz all of our cities are one-casino towns. We're not even allowed to play online these days because of the nanny-state "doing something" about gambling. But if you want to play a slot machine, every single pub and sports club has you covered for up to $100 a spin. :)

In your view, is a fold here too tight? I think a short-stack new player is betting hard when he sees that ace - it's like "I have an ace - the board is an ace - lets bet without sense of what else might be out there".

This kind of spot is the hardest part of my game - these middling way ahead, way behind spots are doing my head in ;)

I think I am missing something here, he raises to 12, you 3-bet to 40, he calls, is that not almost 100$ in the pot already? You said it was 45?


Not sure what your question is, but I think when you are playing against people like this they are usually playing their hands face up. A case could be made for an exploitative fold against this type of player. If you are playing against someone competent I don't think you can ever fold here tho for the price you are getting.

You're right - that was a typo and a mistake - I meant to write $85 rather than $45. But, it's actually $87 in the pot.

2 limps = $4, villain's $12 bet, hero $40 bet, villain's call $28, sb $1, bb $2 = $87.
