Hi all, I think I have a leak somewhere. I've been playing (losing is a more accurate term) $1.10 DoN's and super turbo $1.10 STT's (should stop playing these) and I keep running into this situation, here's a typical hand:
-----------------------------------------------
Hero (~10BB) is in BB with (or any other typical junk hand.)
Action folds around to villain in SB (15+ BB), villain limps.
Hero checks.
Flop: (or any other cards where I completely miss and don't even have any draws)
Villain bets ~$100-$150.
Hero folds.
---------------------------------------
This is getting kind of frustrating, I'm not sure if it's because I'm playing too tight and people figure that they can run all over me, but it seems like suicide to start raising pre or post flop when I have complete air both before and after. My problem is trying to figure out when the villain actually has anything, in the instances where I've tried to defend with something like K6 I've been hammered by something like AK or a premium pair.
What would you do if you're down to ~10-12BB and in the BB with junk, a somewhat loose bigger stack in the SB limps and you know he's going to bet the flop because he's done it to you several times already when it's blind vs. blind, would you just raise/shove ATC pre to get him to back off? How would your strategy change between DoN's and STT's?
Any advice appreciated
