Sometimes multiple opponents raising each other is a sign of less strength rather than more. A raise and a reraise is less dangerous for a made hand than one raise from a single opponent. Do you find you can recognize this dynamic reliably when it's happening?

lol nh.....i guess i should reevaluate my retirement from live poker. If you jam turn do you think v1 calls? Clearly your turn call worked out given that he freaked out and went all in but it seems like a lot of the time he just calls and the river checks through on bricks and you win the minimum, hence why I like grabbing your balls and sticking it in yourself ott.

Those are not results. What did you do? What was the river? If we are going to be results oriented, we need to do it all the way.

Yep - from the spoiler I gather DGAF called V2's raise, V1 shoved with a pair and a draw, V2 called with two pair (hands could be reversed), and DGAF called.

Hope not, but from the title it sounds like a bad river.

Anyone who thinks jamming turn is better then flatting doesn't understand or has never heard of Moby dick. Sure he won't come along every time but you really do need to keep him in the hand. Furthermore v2 sounds capable of bluffing or over valueing his hand with a river bet. Also as I understand it dgaf has v1 covered so even if v2 has nuts in all in scenario you can still come out ahead with v1s massive stack.

Honestly I'd rather take river 3 way then hu vs v2 because I don't think we have enough info to know if he's a total monkey. I think if v1 folds to the 2300 instead of shipping I think we have a super tough cc on the river.

not trying to be results oriented or anything, but trying to figure out if a call or jam on initial turn raise is best. obviously folding is not an option at this point but it becomes one if we just call and get to river 3way with stacks left behind. and i dont ever want to fold to these described villains.

if calling or jamming turn is close, jamming seems to make life easier. whats more likely, that your turn call induced v1's jam or v1 calls off your turn jam with any J+gutter? either way i hope u held.
I still think the bulk of V2's 2300 range is 97 (and somewhat Q9), so I still like increasing my odds/payoff by letting V1 come along.

I'm not sure if V1 calls if I ship over the 2300. I'm also not sure I have enough equity against V2's range to do this. If V2 were aggro, then I think shipping over the 2300 is best, though V1's range up until that point is almost drawing dead against me/is filled with Jx, so idk.

lol, I called the 2300, V1 snap shipped, V2 snapped shipped, I took 10 seconds (out of pure bafflement) and called.

River was a 7 obv. Would an lol live pro ever be confused about a hand he won? Would he ever post it? IDTS. He'd be like, "shyeah, that's poker. I'm such a sick pro, 24k pot whatever, play better bitches..."

Thx, after working through it itt, I'm OK with my line/thought process for this hand. I'm def gonna revisit it though after some time passes (like I do with all my threads) and see if I like something else better/any adjustments should be made.

Thx guys for all the feedback.

I used to play with several players like this but they have moved on or gotten better. Now the only guys close to this description play Plo. Really tempted to take a month or 2 off and fly to LA lol. Winter sucks here anyways.

Honestly you realized the best possible scenario by getting it in 3 way Ott. I suppose maybe v1 ship and v2 folds seemed slightly better. The only thing you could have done diff IMO was cr turn which I like a little better then cr flop. I really wonder if your sizing effected the hand at all. Did small sizing induce more action or are vills so clueless all bets look the same to them. Probably the latter. Anyways just be happy you are blessed with games that you can get unstuck from no matter how buried.

op says he started hand w/ ~8000$ so 1000$ side pot is not worth thinkn bout.

question. i too thought 97 was the bulk of v2's range on turn raise, but do u call off on blank river if u just call turn and its heads up to river?

Ahh I missed that. IMO that makes river call a bit easier, I think with image as is and vill desc (especially with v2 discussing j2) I still think he will overvalue 2p but check back anything worse.

didn;t read the thread so this might have been said but to ship turn I think you'd need to be getting enough value out of V1 to justify the slight spew against V2.

and conditions for it only being a slight spew vs. v1 are:

-he needs to be raising a turn-made 2p on the turn almost always

-he can only play suited 108, q9, etc.

-he has a set almost never.

It's not a spew under these conditions, and the second one is pretty irrelevant.

The turn betsize is debatable, but I actually like betting smaller here because even tho v1 and 2 suck at poker, it keeps the pot protected for the river since turn action either goes call/call or some fold/call so often, and it gives you another street to outplay both of them. Although it is counter intuitive relative to what I'm telling you to do on the flop, the T gives them a lot new 2p equity, and pair + gutter equity. A lot of this equity now will go three streets, so I want to keep the weakest parts of their range still in, and try to go for 3 streets of value.

As played, I'm just calling here. I think it keeps your range widest, and let's v1 put in chips drawing to 6-9outs, and since he's moby dick, he might even ship some super small % of the time and you get to play for 24k where all of your outs are clean. Playing OOP here sucks balls, but you're the professional in this spot, and just navigate the mystery card river imo.
This is basically exactly my take, word for word.

I think it was single raise by OP. 3bet would be bad vs described villains IMO.

I guess if you're saying he plays all combos of JT, but only suited combos of 1+ gappers, it makes a significant difference (and is a pretty reasonable assumption). The second one is only irrelevant if we go with either only suited combos or all combos for each of the hands (and even then I guess it changes the proportion somewhat)

grunching:

I would bet a bit more on the flop and much more on the turn. As played this is really weird. I think you can establish unequivocally that calling is extremely +ev. You simply get a great price knowing that the whale will always call behind. Ten outer plus implied odds in this huge pot when your hand is likely good already = $$$$.

So that's the safe line right? As for 3-betting, meh man, you know he can have every 32 unblocked straight combo. 97 is a double GS, Q9 has an overcard, these guys didn't get to where they are by folding offsuit connectors pre or by folding gutshots on a regular basis. So while I totally think he can have JT/T8, the simple unblocked nature of straights kind of ****s your equity here.

I'd call and jam board pairs, while c/cing blanks. It will be interesting if the 2c rolls off and the whale jams and gets called by the other guy. You probably will beat his two pair often enough to make the call (T8/JT = 18 combos vs 32 straights = 36% equity, roughly speaking).
