Game is 5/10 2k max - game is great

Hero (6k) is a young white rec player who is viewed by V1 as semi-solid but prone to blow ups. Generally V1 thinks I'm a weak-average player and knows that normally I play 2/5.

V1 (6k) is a solid good reg. We don't have too much history but from what I've seen, he's insanely good at exploiting weak recs, and tries to stay balanced vs regs.

V2 (~2.5k) is an insane maniac rec player who likes to gamble. Previous HH spoiled below; no history other than that but I've heard that he likes to gamble.



Preflop: 1 limp UTG, I raise 99 to $40 from UTG+2, V1 calls in CO, V2 calls from BB, limper folds.

Flop($135): 987

V2 checks, I bet $105, V1 calls, V2 insta shoves for ~$2,500, hero?

All in

Not sure why this is a thread. Your spoiler post from prior hand shows Villain 2 could have a host of 2 pair hands and straight or flush draws. You should go all in to shut Villain 1 out on his draws. If you are worried about the minuscule chance he flopped a straight you would still have 10 outs twice to boat up.

Trying to think if there's merit to flatting vs raising. If we jam we might fold V1s 65, but if we jam we might fold out 77-88, and definitely 87

if villain folds 88/77 in this spot to a jam its just bad

Do we really need to raise a 250 BB bet to shut out a draw?

Given history and v1 just flatting (probably wouldn't flat a flopped straight with the flsh draw out there) seems like a call. Sorry if you got coolered.

This is kinda trivial. Its call or shove, I don't think its a massive difference either way though. Not sure what our calling vs shoving range looks like in this spot

Call, gives villain more room to make an error, maybe he was trapping with 98 and thinks you have an overpair etc

Otherwise its not gonna matter much unless vs a hand like asts, tsxs

V1 range 100% includes all straights and sets given maniac still left to act.

If I'm V1 and I have 77,88 facing $5900 more to me facing this action I'm folding.

I call.

Out of curiosity, how would you play AA here?

Check flop?

As played I'd look to see if I had the As, and then call. Then I'd simultaneously call for chips.

Pretty gross with AA if I bet the flop. Mostly checking flop though.

Probably would fold given how realtively little equity we have when ahead, and how super crushed we are when behind.

Doesn't it matter a lot if we get him to fold 56? Not that it's super likelly he has that.
