Not against these 2 mouth breathers. HJ is a super fish and CO is pretty loose. Combined they have a ton of 5x in their range and pocket pairs that they wont be folding and HJ might even have 2x.


if CO is a fish then no cuz they’ll literally never fold a pair here. against regs this is fine.


CO was just a loose reg.

I was hoping he was at least somewhat competent and could find folds with hands like 77 and 66, thinking I'd play very straightforward with the fish in the hand.


If we conclude HJ is a passive fish, why would you ever play TT+ this way? Is what a loose reg can be thinking

Seems pretty standard to fastplay TT+ at this SPR and against a passive fish.

Not sure why a loose reg would think otherwise.

So I think the loose reg can expect us to lead out rather than x/jam, most of the time


The more unpair hands CO has the better this play is. In this caise i think he won't bet many unpaired hands mostly value because of HJ.


If you are playing vs a reg and a fish then you should just play your fish strategy. CO will also be wider than normal here since the fish is in the hand.

Range 1/4 and don't fold vs the fish.
