Question 3

Aggros
(Good Tags, Slags, and Lags)

Answer 3

Look to Float IP with reasonable equity (20% plus)

3bet lite if IP with good speculative hands

Steal blinds “a little bit”

Cbet Normal, double barrel as needed, delayed Cbet good option, respect when they fight back.

Question 4

Maniacs

Answer 4

Insanely loose, insanely aggressive, love to bluff (and show it!)

V:50
P:38
AF: 4
3bet Pre: 8
WTSD: 27
Fold to steal: 36 (extremely low)
Fold to 3bet: 26 (low)
Fold to flop Cbet: 44 (low)
Cbet flop: 70, turn 72, River 65

Strat: be IP, play lots of check/call w decent hands, hold on for the ride, decide by flop if you’re all in or out (it’ll end up that way), don’t ever raise them, call down lighter, don’t ever bluff.

Your standards gave to go way down to call ( TP bad kick, MP, BP sometimes)
Their range is over 50% of hands
Their bluffing range is over 50% of hands.
Positive EV to just call and win 1/3 times

Question 5

Passive/Loose Recs (Fish) - You as Pre-flop Raiser (SLPs)

Answer 5

V: 29
P: 11
AF: 2

Fold to steal: 68 (low)
Fold to 3bet: 39 (low)
Fold to flop Cbet: 54
Cbet flop: 68, turn 56, River 56

Strat: play as many hands as possible IP, raise/re-raise for value, isolate limps with wide range, don’t bluff (unless adv play below), give credit on late street aggression.

Advanced Strategy: Consider shoving w AJ, AT, Ax suited when you miss the flop IF:
-Dry board texture AND
-Very shallow eff stack (<40-50bb) AND
-you have SOME equity

Question 6

Aggro Fish (over shovers) Vs Rec LAGs

Answer 6

Vs Aggro Fish: decide early to call all the way down for stacks light or let it go early. “Fold early or call late”

Vs Rec LAGs: Check/raise the turn if you have equity OR
-3bet pre-flip IP if they are isolating
