Tight Poker

[mewsiclovr]

Villain (MP3)is very loose and very passive. 60/0/0. I don't have much info on BB. Comments on any street appreciated. If I 3-town the river, I guess I'm cry-calling a cap?

My guess is that your 2 pair is good here, but no need to waste another bet unless he's super LAA... Just call..

Also I'll add that the great thing about limit is that I almost always have more than half the players at my table that I've played before... So, PT and PAHud is a great advantage in these games. A few players that are TA and the rest are Tight passive..

Everything seems to fall into place at the limit table with regards to their stats after a while.. At NL, I see the same players a lot, but they seem better about mixing it up..

Hm, guess this hand wasn't as interesting as I thought. I was wondering which line was better:

1- bet/call
2- bet/3bet/(call cap)
3- check/raise/(call 3bet)

I don't like 3) so much because if he really has a marginal hand that came alive on the turn then he probably won't bet the river. But the other two are pretty close and maybe ultimately it doesn't matter much in the long run. I was just looking for an extra bet if I could get one.

I think he has AQ.

EDIT: I was hesitant to post here because I wasn't really sure what to do on the river. Since you said your villain was super passive, a bet here is probably correct, but when a passive player raises you he's got something good. If this were NL I might find a fold on the river, but you can't really justify it here, you have to call but reraising is just going to get the betting capped with a hand that can't really handle it against this opponent.
