2 similar hands where i have a medium pocket , there is one overcard on the flop and midstacked opponent is raising me. Both seem to be bad players (Not a big sample size but their VPIP so far and their stack indicates that)

I think folding is the safest way with both examples. If you have seen him re-raising with draw or bluff, then put him all-in, otherwise I would fold. You can probably get your money back with top pair or overpair

1) Do you have any specific reason why you are rereraising the flop? He's quite the loose-passive player it seems, so I don't see him reraising anything worse then a K...

2) Nice hand.

I think 13 hands sample isn`t solid enough to call him loose-passive... so there might be a reason)


It's obvious that the AF in grabem is wrong and is nowhere near the true AF of the opponents - hopefully they fix it soon. I dont have enough stats on either opponent , so i guess they should be treated as unknown with bad player image.

Don't know why you played them in different ways, these are both in the same category of hands.

Problem is, that these midstacks do craaaazy things, so pound on your shoulder if you caught another T-high bluff and start complaining if they show you again K5o or J3o. Nevertheless, they won't fold anything.

Without a much better read I let these spots go and wait for a "top pair"-type hand, you will stack them anyways.

Against unknown opponent I tend to fold. If I saw the midstack macking these moves on boards that missed the PFA likely or if they raise middle pair hands/draws in such situations I call - but I want to have a little read on them.
