Who's afraid of the regular?

by storge

Our opponent is a 22/18/2.4/38 regular.

We know that he:

  • plays reasonably
  • can semi-bluff
  • can raise free SD
  • is capable of assessing boards and ranges
  • makes moves in adequate situations
  • makes good folds / call downs
  • can fold better hands
  • plays his made hands aggressively out of position

All in all, it's an opponent we would rather avoid, but in this case, he's sitting at the same table as four complete fish, which is something we can't let slip through our hands.
