Good morning Cardschat community (it is morning in brazil). I decided to play this hand because there was a nonsense player at the Big Blind which I have already seen to do weird things and try to bluff players where it shouldn't be bluffing.
Almost 100% of times I would be folding for his 3bet out of position, but in this particular scenario I decided to call in position and see a Flop. (Hero had 37% of Pot odds to call here)
The Flop is decent in my opinion because it's rainbow and gave Hero In Position an open-ended straight draw, in a very dry flop texture.
Now V in the BB elects to make a C-bet Flop of almost 100% Pot size, and in the situation Hero has 50% equity. My question is if I should have made Check-Raise/Push right now on the flop or if the call in position was okay. Because when a weak aggresive player decides to make such an unbalanced bet in the Flop it polarizes its range a lot (either it has the nuts or it has nothing at all). Besides when BB 3bets me 4x Preflop he will have a ton of AK, AQ, AJ, KQ, KJ, JT, and 88+ which completely missed this flop. So I thought Villain in the BB was overbluffing or overplaying its range.
In the Turn, my equity gets a little bit better but yet, I have nothing but a good semi-bluff. Villain in the Big Blind, double barrels, but now it slow down its horses and make a barely 1/2 Pot C-bet Turn. This is where I believe I made a second mistake:
A) I should have check-raised my open-ended straight draw in the Flop (?)
B) I should have check-raised my open-ended plus gutter in the Turn (?)
C) Should I have folded Preflop, even having information the BB was playing at the moment as an Aggro Donkey?
However, knowing that the player was a little bit insane, at the time the action happened I elected to call. The River comes a 7, which gave me Top Pair in a very calm board configuration and I knew that Villain in the BB could have 88, 99, TT, etc, but most of times, given this line of betting, it was just trying to bluff me out of the pot with a lot of missing Broadways. Please let me know what the community thinks.
