4 of a Kind
We are playing 1-2 live, seven handed. We started seven hours ago with 13 players, now we are down to 7. The table is tired, more passive and less prone to confrontation. It is that feeling often found the last hour or so of a long session.
Cast of characters:
In the small blind is a Tagish player with $80. He is taking a stab at a bigger game than normal, but things have not gone his way. He is in for $500 and is likely looking for a place to go broke or get closer to even. Highly fit/fold post flop. Will not bet draws. Rarely slow plays anything but monsters.
Hero is in the big blind with $1,100. Hero has been on fire tonight - hitting flops and taking advantages of mistakes. People are actually folding to Hero's post flop bets, sometimes. Hero's table image post flop is a little scary.
The button is a calling station having a good night playing $600. This guy is very loose, passive and sticky.
Meta game considerations: This session is clearly winding down. The villains are reverting to form. The winners are looking to book a win, the losers are prepared to stack off.
The hand. Four folds bring us to the button. {that alone says something about the table, four hours earlier and we would be headed to a family limped pot at least,}
Button limps, SB completes. Action on Hero holding
Check or raise? If raising how much? [ table has been all over the map with preflop raise sizing. $4 to $15 is normal, but sometimes there will be a $25+ raise by some of the crazier players.]
