Hey guys, EP is a 23/11 player. I have a nice stack and I'm looking for a flop where I can get value from his strong range. I got not the perfect flop but an okay one, I guess. I raise to protect against many unconfortable turn cards and again, get value from his range which I perceive as a strong one. When I raise flop and get reraised I put him on AA or AK mostly. I don't know if he would reraise me with KK and I really don't think he would raise 66/77 (only one combo each) from EP being such a nitty player. Would you have played it aggressively or called the flop? What do you do when he reraises?

Also tell me if you would have folded pre and I'm just a fish :P

He didn't reraise you by much, normally you would expect a reraise to be in the 8-9000 region.

He either wants called or isnt sure on the reraise.

You need to put in about 2000 more for a 12000 pot, so folding is certainly out of the question.

I'd call, and call a turn bet of around 50% pot. If he checks fire again.

I think hes got AK and the ace is a club but id rather play against a range.

Call this raise and if he keeps up the aggression fold. Call 1/2 pot turn and evalute river

Pre-flop is a loose defend I think against a tight player, but as played you blocking 2 set combos’ and it isn’t likely he has a better 2 pair either. You are only losing against KK most likely and I would go all the way on this flop with in mind he can easy have a flush draw as well.

If I call this I'll have an SPR of 1:1, half pot on turn would be half my stack, can't be calling that to fold ever, right?

I was discussing this hand with some friends and yes, I did and do admit it's not the most amazing defend but I do have position on a tight player and I have the advantage of his range being so clear that I won't be in mouch trouble after the flop and I can get a lot of chips against his strong ranges.

I don't think he is going to play a FD like this unless it's TP+FD or really strong flush draws like AJs+. I tried to analyze this on Equilab against a range I think he would raise UTG and play like this on flop. Do you think I should add or remove hands from that range? I actually don't think this player is raising the 98s but friends told me "it's in his range" so I added it :P Also, is above 50% a good thing if we're not on the bubble or anything or do you think I should look for more equity in such spots for 45BBs?

Right enough. Shove over his reraise you are still favourite against his range.
