Hero is effective stack with about $500 and is largely viewed as weak tight aggressive. Aggressive pre but then weak post. And it's fair as I've gotten an absolute TON of AK and AQ but missed probably 10 out of 15. We tried to cbet normal frequencies but due to being donked into, being multi way, and Vs not even considering folding unless we're commiting stacks over multiple barrels we are mostly just giving up. First on turns then on flops but still playing solid pre flop. We have gotten a few bluffs through but haven't shown any so they just assume I have top pair there every time.
V is youngish LAG who's running over the table. First big hand we were in V calls $12 pre with 53o. Flop comes 743r, V leads $20, Hero raises to $70 with 88, folds back to V who calls to hit the 6 OTT. He's opening hands like K6o in late position. Straddling the button and making it $20 with lord knows what often. Sitting on $1200 when we arrived but down a bit since then. He's barreling relentlessly and most Vs are calling then folding river. Has been caught bluffing a few times by strong river hands that called.
OTTH: Hero limps 2s2h UTG to set mine vs active late position Vs. Few other limpers and V raises the BU to $15. SB call, BB call, Hero call, one other call behind.
Flop ($75): Kh 2d 3c
Checks to V who bets $25. BB calls, Hero calls.
Turn ($150): Kh 2d 3c 6s
Hero x, V $45, BB fold, Hero call
River ($240): Kh 2d 3c 6s 7d
Hero x, V $125, Hero $300. V goes DEEP in the tank. Starts thinking through the hand out loud. Appears to go back and forth a few times before finally making a frustrated call after maybe 3 full minutes.
Thought process was that at $15 pre and $500 effective we are getting like 33:1 bet to stack ratio to set mine. V was barreling so reliably that if we raise flop or turn we are folding out too much of his barreling range. The dangerous part of this line is that 45s is still possible even though V raised pre (not sure if he would raise 45o, I assume not but anything is possible). His sizing on the turn made me think he had value and wanted calls. But he may still fold hands like KT- if we raise turn. On the river if we were playing a bigger game I would have probably jammed but at 1/2 this could be the difference between getting value from 67 or not. Obviously we are calling it off if we were wrong and he has KK or 45 but we decide to go for what we think is max value on the river. Thoughts?
