NLHE $50gtd (0.11 buyin) 10 minute levels, 2 hours late reg.
Situation: 2 levels before late registration closes.
400/600/anties? maybe 100
I'm a short stack at the table with about 14bb. Three seats to my right is a big stack (V1) with about 60bb and the opponent to my direct right (V2) has double my stack 28bb.
Their are two other large chip stacks who have been battling against each other frequently due to one being in BB while the other is the BTN on the other side of the table, however they do not play a role in this hand.
V1 has accumulated his stack by utilizing his big stack at opportune times. He has caught some people shoving light and he'd be the only caller and get there by the river. He has shown down A/Q s, pocket Ks, and Q/J s, winning all the hands he's shown down with.
Up to this point I had played only one hand against V1 because their was always big opens before his action, he would often 3bet and I didn't have any playable hands.
The one hand we did play together, about 5 orbits earlier, the table folded around to him, he 4x opened my BB and I 3.5x re-raised his open and he folded.
The hand in question;
Folds around to V1 in CO, He limp opens, SB V2 calls and I continue out of BB with J/5 o.
Flop is K,4,T rainbow. Checks around.
Turn is a 5. SB checks and I'm cautious here and decide to check thinking my bottom pair can not be good here.
River is Q. SB again checks
Guideline for this thread states not to indicate the outcome of the hand, so I'll stop here and pose this question.
What to do here?
As a semi-vulnerable short stack should I bet bottom pair here?
The hand up to this point feels very trappy. Like someone is checking to induce another player to bet out, so they can check-raise. At least that's how I felt in the situation.
Very interested in opinions.
