After a LONG 12 months of no live poker I got my first session in a few weeks ago (finally got my shots). It's been a few weeks and this is from memory so it could be a bit off. Limited reads but I'd been at the table for 45 mins or so. 7 handed, plexiglass, masks, etc.
UTG V is middle aged guy. I think he covers. Seemed pretty ABC but spotted bet sizing mistakes, overcalls vs small bets, overfolds vs large bets, too many limps pre... He opens for $10 (smaller side for this table). 2 callers.
Hero is in SB about $450 effective with 9d5d. A clear fold but the BB is a long time poker buddy of mine who has perhaps a 2% 3B range so if ever we were to make a bad / speculative call with a suited 3 gapper at least we wont get squeezed often.
BB calls as expected and also covers.
Flop (~$45 after rake): Jh 8h 3d
Not ideal, but it checks around. V had been c-betting a lot, prob like 80%+ and with a flush draw on board it seems his range is capped.
Turn ($45): Jh 8h 3d Th
We turn the OESD but the flush comes in. I think we have to check here with 4 players behind. BB checks, V bets $20, fold, fold. It's already a bit off the rails pre but here's where I decide to x/r. I hadn't planned to x/r before hand but given the action I'm pretty confident no one has much of a hand. SB is leading turn with anything decent and V is c-betting almost all of his over pairs, sets, top pairs, and flush draws. So that leaves him with a lot of middling hands and a few weird T8 two pair type hands. But even T8 will be in a tough spot if we continue on most rivers. So we make it $65 with a one card OESD on a flush board, repping the flush and strong combo draws and planning to continue unless another heart hits or the board pairs. We block some straights so we can also have 97 or Q9 along with 2 pair and flushes for value. SB folds. V tanks for about 15 seconds then calls. My read is that he has something but is legitimately concerned about straights / flushes. Maybe a pair and a decent heart like KhTx or something.
River ($175): Jh 8h 3d Th 4s
We miss the straight but it's a pretty safe river card. We have to bet to win or x/f and give up. Hero bets $135 to put pressure on Vs Tx hands. V should have to fold most of his range here right?
Thoughts on post flop?
