V1 ($2000+) is young hoodie wearing player. Looks grinder-ish. Haven't played with him before though. He is the most active at the table but he table is fairly tight and quiet. Can clearly play LAG but also goes on quiet streaks, isn't forcing it too often. He has been caught bluffing a few times. The most memorable time he raised pre and then double barreled a board something like T94, 9, 4. He gives up on the river and starts to fold, the other guy doesn't want to show either. He mucks and the other guy shows 78 and he insists the 8 high was good. Then he switches gears gets tons of action and shows strong hands for an hour.
V2 ($800) is older loose-ish passive who has added on a few times and appears to be getting frustrated. I've played with him before but don't really remember much about him. Didn't seem dangerous.
Hero ($800) is middle aged with nit image. Have been getting great cards but everyone is folding pre. Opening wider in position, still not getting much action. Also couldn't get AK to hold vs KJ (-$200) and lost a few other pots. So we are struggling in that we are winning super small and losing larger pots. May seem weak tight + nitty but we have been making good folds.
OTTH: Hero opens to $20 UTG with KsTs, V1 flats, MP flats, V2 flats.
Flop ($80): Qs 9d 3c
We cbet $35 with our gut shot and over card repping strong Qx over pairs and 99. Call, call. Uh oh. What happened to our nit image. I'm putting V1 on mostly Qx or JT with some floats that plan to bluff later. V2 seems weaker, not sure what his range is but I'm also giving him Qx, 9x, and broadway draws.
Turn ($155): Td
We decide to turn our hand into a bluff here and lead for $140. We can also rep TT and QT along with a KJ that cbet. If we get raised we are obviously folding. No one 3 bet pre and the cbet was less than half pot so Hero figures we can fold out some Qx and draws here. Hero is wrong, V1 calls fairly comfortably (QJ?) after only a short pause. V2 calls as well. Seems like we are toast, drawing to a J or maybe a T.
River ($575): Kh
Still 3 ways with the 4 card straight on the board and the worst position I think we have to give up here. Hero x, V1 x, V2 x. What? Any way we win this hand? Thoughts on our line pre and post flop?
