With both Moocher and deadly taking a night off and bigshot still awol I'm left playing solitaire (well holdem then). With two hours in between finishing work and football training I spark up four tables and with no stats programmes running in the background to help. Only have one hand history to post as I can't pull them from my Poker Tracker database. Biggest hand of the night....

Not too expensive. I'll try and hit trips.

Oh Oh. Looks like somone has a big hand. I check his stack size US$10. Big enough pot odds then to try and catch a 6 and hopefully felt him if i do. Lets see what nietzoh does first as I'll have to fold to another reraise.
ASbest222 folds.
ImHereFish folds.
BOAzrael folds.

Looks even better for me if I hit. I'm in.
Phillberto calls (0.65)
** Dealing Flop ** : [ Ac, 6s, Qd ]
nietzojoh checks.
Mmm. Start thinking hand ranges. Master JiiLee first. His 3 bet was strong in face of raise and my cold call. I think I'm looking at JJ+ and AK, maybe a lesser chance of 10 10 and AQs. I decide here that I'm ahead of his range although two of his likely pairs have me in big trouble.
Ok probably rule out AA, KK for nietzojoh with no re-re-raise (though not 100%). So QQ-88 maybe , AK, a loose call on AQ even. Again ahead of the range. Decide to check raise and try and get an extra bet.
Phillberto checks.
MasterJiiLee bets (2)
nietzojoh raises (5.40) to 5.40
Ah. slow playing then. Now I put his hand range on QQ, AK, AQ, and just maybe AA. Still ahead of that range. Nietzojohh has made my bet for me and I don't want to scare away any Ax hands so I just call but its all going in anyway.
Phillberto calls (5.40)
MasterJiiLee calls (3.40)
Well , well. Unlikely he has anything worse than AK now or AA, QQ. hopefully the former.
** Dealing Turn ** : [ 2d ]

nietzojoh is all-In.

Ok lets get it all-in.

Any comments on play or thought process? Have to go to the felt here, yes? Want to guess what was shown down?

I don't think you did anything wrong, maybe they both had AA - 88 but would guess 2 pair each otherwise -
Read this new theory today - may try tonight if I can get on. Hyper LAG apparently....
"I raise any two cards from 27 to AA, 5 to 10 times the BB pre flop and post flop continuation bets about 1/2 pot to 3/4 size the pot dont matter what i have. Ill bet the turn hard if i connect on the flop or turn, ill check the turn if i totally missed or i may raise if i missed and i feel Villian is weak. On the river usally Villian is trapped if i have the best hand he has to call for the remaing of his chips. But im gone by the turn if i can read my opponent is strong. After playing like this for a while a TAG will start valuing his top pair and two pairs very strong and thats when you hit you straight, little flush, set or full house and you stack him. Its all about hand reading being very agressive confusing the hell out of villian and getting all your money in with strong hands. But one word of caution dont play this way without alot of experience i have played 20k hands to get to this level. Also i played a long time as TAG so i understand there tendancies. one more thing this strategy works better shorthanded 4 to 6 players max"
Interesting. Certainly come up against these guys before and have been stacked pretty much as described. Also prone to slow playing and check raising and have taken a few decent hands to take down medium pots.
If you were doing this I think you need to have a handle on players you are up against before you sit down. I like the 10x big blind bet. It gives you a very good handle on what your opponent has if they call. I've actually just called here with big pocket pairs, trying to trap in the past. Maybe that is the wrong strategy as the HAG will have a good idea you have a premium hand and will play accordingly. This particular guy only seems to mostly follow up on flops he hits but I've seen guys like this who will overbet the flop most of the time too.
Guess the strategy boils down to getting a lot of money in the pot often knowing you are the superior post-flop reader. What do you think is the best counter strategy?
Oh it was AK for initial re-raiser BTW and a laughable Ah7h for donkey. Nice pot in a nice session.
I would think if they do this for more than a few hands then re-raise over the top all-in with any 2 face cards. You could wait...and wait..and wait.
I agree - best to watch a table for a while and then try at low stakes if they look suitable!
