1/3 $500 max buy, about a week ago so some details may be fuzzy / off. I took an alternate line / approach, specifically with sizing since it was a rather rare spot (heads up, limped pot, OOP with bottom 2). Felt exploitatively correct at the time but it may be wishful thinking.
V is Tight, passive, and can get sticky at times. When people play narrow ranges they seem to not like folding as often when they finally get a hand. He's a middle aged reg I've played with before but not for quite some time. Browsing content on his phone while hardly playing hands. Ironically he's still not the tightest player at the table.
Hero has been at this table for about an hour after the last table broke. Has been up and down a bit. Getting run over by the table LAG, missing every draw. Image is probably looser and more gambley than usual but still tighter than all but 3 players. $500 effective.
OTTH: V limps MP and it folds around to Hero in BB with 75hh. Super rare occurance at an otherwise lively table. This V's limping range has us crushed and we're OOP so there's zero thoughts about raising. We x and take a flop.
Flop ($7): Jc 7c 5c
Hero leads for $10. Thought here is that V is too passive to build a pot on a monotone board in general. He's not passive enough to flat JJ pre though as the LAG was to his right and already folded. We are only in trouble if he flopped a flush. V quickly calls.
Turn (~$25): Jc 7c 5c 2h
Hero leads for $25, here is where I expect V to react if he has the flush or even a set (that we mostly block). I don't want to go broke in a limped pot but I feel like we can charge pair + draw hands and especially the Ac and get more calls than we should. Also since it was a limped pot the absolute size of the bet still seems small even though it's full pot. Does it make sense to even overbet here? V does pause this time but still calls without too much ado.
River ($75): Jc 7c 5c 2h 7s
Hero leads for $100. We may have gotten lucky with this river but either way we are pretty much always good here. We've been repping a strong hand, possibly a flush and the board just paired. How large can we go here? I was tempted to say $150 or All in but I just wan't confident we get enough calls. $100 is still a slight overbet and given our line can look like a missed draw sometimes as well. Thoughts?
