First off, do I re-raise preflop? With my lack of aggression, you should be glad I actually raised in the first place. See...I'm trying to get better! Only stats w/villian...20 hands, 30/15/0.6

I see this fairly often at the level...someone with a huge shove and I'm not sure if jacks is something good enough to call with.

9 handed, no, don't reraise preflop.

Flop, fold, pretty easy fold at that. You're basically hoping he's got AK.

You should thank your lucky stars he made a completely uncallable bet.

EDIT: For what it's worth here, I wouldn't call with less than kings, but it's difficult to say how the hand would have played out if I had KK/AA.

I can see people at this level doing this with 55+, but they are fruitcakes and easily identified.

I mean, it's a fold, but I disagree with pf, easy 3bet. Still snicks it's not awful, calling is OK.

So fold to his stupid all-in. But note...oh yes...note.

[snickers99]

Yes, I folded.

...but I disagree with pf, easy 3bet.

So, I three bet preflop and then he shoves. Still fold?

[ugignadl]

Shoves preflop? Read to call, standard fold, although depends on odds.

You realize this is nine handed no limit hold 'em with ten cent blinds right? He hardly ever reraises here without tens or better. 55 - 99 are out the window. Putting the third raise in is just asking for trouble.

[ugignadl]

...so bring on the trouble?

Saying I'm asking for trouble is just a strawman. If you're going to criticise my advice perhaps put some weight behind it.

[sfustsh]

Like what? Like Villain's range includes no hand that you beat except AK and that you're putting more money in with the worst hand?

Is that what you consider weight?

[ugignadl]

Are you mixing up villain in this hand from Snicks other post? This is just a bogstandard microlimit NLTH player. There is giving people some credit, and then there is just plain losing value.

[sfustsh]

Clearly you've never played NL10.

You're never fucking ahead here.

[mewsiclovr]

I've said it before, I'll say it again - keep the tone civil guys.

I've played plenty of NL10. *checks post for actual argumentation*

Maybe there is a sequel.

[sfustsh]

Whatever.

At least we agree that in a vacuum this is a fold on the flop.

Preflop is a matter of style, but I will stand with my position.

What's the benefit of leading the flop again?

I did it 'to see where I'm at'.
