How much should I bet the turn here?

Sorry, but I haven’t transferred over my macros from the old machine. Put that on the ‘to do’ list. So the hand descriptions are the old primitive ones.

HOLD'EM NO LIMIT ($1/$2) - 2007/11/04 –
Table 'Strenua II' 9-max Seat #4 is the button
Seat 1: Paaapaa ($392 in chips)
Seat 2: capaneo ($206.45 in chips)
Seat 3: AllTheWay33 ($81 in chips)
Seat 4: thorladen ($200 in chips)
Seat 5: LOOSE-PASSIVE FISH ($375 in chips)
Seat 6: Hero ($373.40 in chips)
Seat 7: Neutron Girl ($396.75 in chips)
Seat 8: MiracleFlop ($178.60 in chips)
Seat 9: MaxBoyUofS ($157.35 in chips)

LOOSE-PASSIVE FISH: posts small blind $1
Hero: posts big blind $2


*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [9c Tc]
Neutron Girl: folds
MiracleFlop: raises $4 to $6

This guy is about 29%/7% on a smallish sample.

MaxBoyUofS: folds
Paaapaa: folds
capaneo: calls $6

multi-tabler, regular. Looks laggy for a pro, but he seems competent. This could be speculative (in fact, probably is, since the guy is quite willing to reraise pre-flop with good hands).

AllTheWay33: folds
thorladen: folds
LOOSE-PASSIVE FISH: calls $5

Staggeringly loose-passive pre-flop this guy – in for 95% of flops and never raising once. However, his post-flop play isn’t that awful. As a result, when he has hit his hand, he has tended to get paid off. He is about level in the time that I have been playing him, despite me winning about $100 off him in earlier hands.


Hero: calls $4

Fairly uncontentious, I think. Little argument for a repop in any case, but even less so, given the calling nature of the small blind.

$23 in pot. I have $350 behind.

*** FLOP *** [Qd Jd Ks]

I flop the second-nuts. My instinct is to play this kind of hand — where you might be up against a flush draw, a set, two pair, or a gutshot — as quickly as possible. However, I’m in an unusual situatuion in that my effective stack size is $375, nearly two times the buy-in. I’m not experienced at deep-stack play, and I don’t meet many players as loose-passive as my right-hand opponent. In other words, this is uncharted territory.

LOOSE-PASSIVE FISH: checks
Hero: checks

I can bet out here, but left-hand opponent is going to continuation-bet here about 90% to 95% of the time, by my estimate. And if original raiser checks, there is capaneo behind him to save the day. Loose-passive fish will then have to reveal the strength of his hand. He’s reasonably straightforward post-flop.

MiracleFlop: bets $12
capaneo: folds
LOOSE-PASSIVE FISH: calls $12

How much to check-raise? I’d quite like to get this heads-up with LPF. Once again the deep stacks make things slightly problematic, but I decide to put in the amount that I would have if we had both had $200.

Hero: raises $24 to $36
MiracleFlop: folds
LOOSE-PASSIVE FISH: calls $24

$105 in the pot. I have $331 behind, opponent has $333.
