This is a $2/$5 hand I played at Foxwoods last weekend.
The Villain in this hand is a 30 something year recreational player wearing an expensive Bruins jersey, (Milan Lucic I think) who plays way too many hands but is far from the worst player at the table. His wife is hovering impatiently as Game 5 of the Stanley Cup is starting in a few minutes and they have reservations to watch the game at one of the clubs.
Blinds $2/$5. Effective stacks $450+/-
Preflop - With 2 limpers I Hero ($500+/-) raises to $17 in the CO with . Villain ($450+/-) on the Button calls, Both blinds fold, and the 2 limpers call.
Flop (pot $45) Check Check. Hero bets $30, Villain calls, 2 folds
Turn (pot $104) Hero bets $60 and Villain calls
River (pot $224) I check and Villain bets $130.
This bet just reeks of a missed draw, but what kind? A back door diamond draw with the and maybe a pair to go along with it? I can rule out 67 as I’m sure I would have heard from him right away but what about a straight draw with a 5 or a 6? I'm getting 3.5:1 but is that enough? The thing is I can’t think of a non Ace hand with one of those cards that hasn’t already paired the board.
