Maybe 2.5 hours into my session. Table is pretty loose passive in general but there are some variations.
Hero - $500 Not sure how table views hero as we have been raising large over limpers and 3 betting more than anyone else (still only maybe 4 times). Not limping much at all, and not calling pre much. Would estimate Hero is 20/15/3 ish. Using aggressive sizing though so they may equate aggression to being loose sometimes.
V1 - $600 Is younger guy in a sports football hoodie. He has made some comments about the bad play at the table and seems to have a clue. Seated directly to Hero's left. Estimated about 40/10/0 stats. Has been running good, hitting some huge turns and rivers.
V2 - $150 Is also younger guy estimated 25/5/0.
OTTH: 3 limps to Hero in CO, we raise to $20 with , V1 BU calls, V2 BB calls.
Flop: (~$60 after rake)
V2 checks, Hero $35 we should have a lot of strong Aces here and there are no real straight or flush draws so we should be able to take this down against smaller pocket pairs, Jx, and maybe a scared Ace. V1 calls, V2 calls. Whoops. Contemplating shutting it down here and hoping to hit the gut shot but also noticed neither V seemed too happy about the call and didn't seem to consider raising. Ruling out AJ, from convo I expect V1 to 3 bet AK pre. Not sure about V2.
Turn: ($165)
V2 checks, Hero decides to put Vs to the test. As the PFR we have AK, AQ, AJ here a lot, even JJ some. Gut feel is that V1 has A9s, AT, maybe a cautious AQ. V2 seems even weaker (capped closing the action right? and seems tentative) but we will range him similarly with some TT, 99 mixed in perhaps. We bet $100. Sizing? I think given table dynamic we can get away with this smaller sizing some but in general I think turn should be more polarized 115+ feels better in retrospect but I doubt these guys are sensitive to these types of sizing differences so we probably get the same result. On the bright side, if we get called and hit the T we have set up reasonable river jam. What do we expect Vs to be able to continue with? This bet puts V2 all in if he opts to call.
Good bluff? Too ambitious?
