I wanted some input on this hand. I am interested in the pre flop decision most.
Let me try and paint a picture:
$1/$2 NLHE, $50-$300 buy in.
The V in question is UTG. He has been raising more than 50% of his hands, maybe a little more. This is an estimate, this is live. He is also calling 3b OOP with as bad as Q-rag suited, K-8o, and A-8o.
So, we have already 3b him once, and he called with $130 back with K-8o. That was 2 or 3 hands ago.
So, he opens to $10 or $12, 1 caller in MP, and I think about 3b here, but I decided against it, based on these factors.... We have As-10s, 1 caller, and we don't know what he has, there are also 4 people behind me who haven't acted yet.... We are about $235-250 deep, and dude in SB is $500+.
Anyways, I decide to flat pre, and play a pot in position.
SB calls, BB folds. 4w to flop A-10-Qr. ($40~$48)
SB donks for $20. He has done this before with top pair. This is one of the things this guy will do to try and set his own price, maybe he's trying to slow the loose PFR down, I dunno why he does it, but he prob has TP...
PFR calls $20, folds to us, we are last. We can call and close, or raise.
We raise to $65, SB tanks a bit. I put this guy on A-K or A-J. No he prob wouldn't 3b either of those hands. He somewhere between tight passive and loose passive.
SB calls, all others fold. We have about $155 left in stack.
Turn 6h (two hearts, the A and the 6h I think, not 100% sure). ($190ish)
SB checks. I think a little, maybe hesitate 5-10 seconds. I know what I'm doing already, but I want a call here from A-J or A-K. Or Q-J/K-Q, but man I don't think he is that dumb to call with 2nd pair+gutter. Yeah I just feel he has A-J/A-K exactly.
He tanks probably more than a minute, one chip calls me.
The river is irrelevant.
Questions are, should I 3b pre? If UTG 4b us, do we get it in with As-10s? Can we flat and see the flop in position here, potentially 5 way? UTG is probably aware we are on to him, and may expect us to 3b wider than normal? I could be thinking too much, but the guy is definitely thinking about stuff. He is loose and just getting there alot (he also covers us), but he is clearly thinking about these plays, and spots. Like he seems to know when to check back instead of cbet, etc.
And, did we play the hand ok post flop, as played?
