V is middle aged guy who has only been at the table about an hour. Loves to see flops. Will open limp / call most raises. Hasn't 3 bet yet pre and hasn't raised much on his own pre. Much more aggressive and sticky post flop but hasn't shown down many hands.
Hero is attempting to play TAG but has been largely card dead. Not limping or calling much. But if Vs are paying attention, the very first hand we opened in position and cbet a flush draw flop. We got called and missed so I'm not sure how Vs are interpreting our low stats. Probably VPIP/PFR/3b of 20/15/5 ish.
OTTH:
1 limp and Hero ($600 effective) looks down at from UTG+1, we raise to $25, BU calls, V (covers but not by much) calls from SB, UTG limp / calls.
Flop (~$100 after rake):
Verify dynamic flop in a 4 way pot that hits Vs calling ranges but we are also fairly high up in our range. V1 donk leads for $70 (this bet feels designed to generate folds, this V is not scared money so I'm removing most sets from his range), UTG folds, first decision point is here. Very wet board and V is very wide pre so I'm not automatically giving him 78 or a set. I think he mostly has flush draws, 8x, straight draws, and combo draws. Possibly 99/TT that didn't 3 bet against a nitty looking EP open from Hero. Also we don't want BU to come along if we flat so I decide a raise here is best. Even against 78 (top of Vs estimated range) we have 25% equity when behind. We are slightly behind but basically flipping against and slightly ahead of the other A high flush draws. Would be nicer if V had some weak Q or J high flush draw. Hero raises to $270 with a little over $300 behind (intention is to charge draws and middling hands and get it in if raised). BU folds, V snap shoves. Hero?
When V snap 3 bet shoves I'm taking out some straight draws but he still has 78 and a bunch of flush and combo draws. Are we ever folding here? Thoughts on flop raise and line in general welcome.
