Silver Level
Hero is playing a deep stack, about 6500. Our villain is chip leader with around 7000.
Villain is TAG, shows some signs of weak play. (Goes to showdown with marginal hands on wet boards, plays out of position.) He has built a big stack by playing in 3 big pots. The first was a set over set hand that he slow played until the river and then got his stack in, he check called flop and turn then check raised the river. Second was him getting it in bad with KK vs AA and hitting a set to win. The third time he overplayed a marginal hand and picked off a bluff.
Villain has a flair for the dramatic, doing some things that suggested ego poker. He likes to throw his chips around and bullies his way to winning pots. He is super aggressive.
Here is the action:
UTG folds
Villain raises to 70 from UTG+1
Utg+2 calls
Action fold around to hero in mp.
Hero: Jd Js
Hero raises to 240
Villain calls
UTG+2 calls.
Flop: 9h Th Jh
Villain is all in.
UTG folds.
Hero?
This is a weird spot. Why does he just jam on the flop?
I couldn’t see him doing this with Qh Kh. If he had flopped that good, he would slow play it to death or at least go for value. Maybe he got excited and shoved before really thinking about it? He doesn’t ever have Qh9h or 7h8h. If he has a straight flush, it is with QK. He could have Ah Qh, but then again, with a blocker to the straight, the nut flush, and a royal flush draw, why would he just push. The same with AKs, nut flush, blocker, and RF draw. He would have dumped Ah 8h facing a three-bet preflop, I think.
If he has 99, TT, TJ, or 9T, awesome! He would either have to hit a 1 outer or hit runners to make quads. Shoving with these is a bluff, he would never really be called by worse.
He could have QKo with maybe the Qh or Kh, but still, what does he get called by that loses to him?
AA or KK as a bluff? A hand like AhAs still has good equity against a straight, but I have both of those hands beat.
What other hands does he have? Why does he shove? I was really confused. I think he has to be bluffing, or making some super high level play with a straight flush trying to rep a bluff (He doesn’t go past the second level, so I really doubt that). Hero tanks and calls. Is calling the right play?
