Message: [QUOTE="Figaroo2, post: 3795531, member: 103914"] Ok so his VPIP is very high 59%. The sample size of 37 isn't very big but it's enough for me to know this guy is very loose and the pfr of 21 and the high 3Bet % indicate he is aggressive and likes to come in raising to grab the initiative. Even the best lag won't be playing more 35-40 VPIP even at 6max AND good lags don't play at this level so they are usually just bad lags.. ..This guy id class as a whale, he plays anything suited or connected and in your hand he doesn't need a strong hand to isolate two limpers. He's going to c bet and take it down often enough to make it a profitable play with just about any two cards. Once you call indicating you have something, you, almost by definition are a massive favourite against his RANGE. I mean literally 60-70% of the time you're ahead and he has air here. So he has a problem and it's a regular problem for him playing 59% of all hands. He has to deal with his garbage hands. He can either fold them, call down with them or bluff with them. If you have 37 hands with the whale you should already have an idea as to whether he's a bluffer or a folder or a calling station.... and his aggression stats will assist you here even if you have been multi tabling and not in the position to know exactly what he's doing. So let's say he disposes of his hands by bluffing. In the hand discussed he makes it 1bb on the turn this is him testing the strength of your hand. If you just call then how strong can you be?? Then he knows any decent river bet should be enough to get your fold. Even better for him is that an excellent bluffing card hits the river, now all sorts of flushes and straights are possible and unless he runs into you having a flush he'll be fine. Now of course because he's shoving a lot of air then he should be shoving his made hands as well. This is why you really need to pay attention to how these guys play and what they showdown. For example If he isn't shoving his made hands and just value betting them normally then you know most of his shoves are going to be bluffs. So in this hand plenty of time this shove is going to be air, BUT we don't know enough about his bluffing frequency yet to make it a profitable call down. When you find these players they can be one of your biggest sources of income so pay close attention to them and shut down other marginal tables so you can focus on him properly. Sometimes these players will win many stacks very quickly and get very deep and think nothing of spewing off a few stacks to you. [/QUOTE]
