I busted out of a 100 person tourney early and got my name on the list to start a 1/3 nl table. Table gets going pretty soon after and we start with 6 players. I have never played here and there are what appears to be two regs two total fish (like bad) and one LAG who isn't a reg. I quickly realize I only have $200 with me and left my BR debit card at home but I watch everyone buy in for $100-$200 so I figure it would be ok and came to grips that I wouldn't be making any real money tonight possibly, but just killing time. (btw my buddy who I drove with was still in the tourney). We are maybe 30 hands in and I have already seen the LAG to my left c bet all the way down one of the regs who was calling with a spade draw and caught it on the river. The LAG had complete air with A8 and lost, saying oh I didn't even see the flush when the reg won the pot. Other pots he was always re raising people and such. Playing garbage typical fish playing a LAGs part.

Reg, villain and hero are all sitting around $200

Ok the hand. I'm bb cards are being dealt as my buddy walks in on break from the tourney, I tell him out loud I left my br at home and he laughs. Lag utg limps mp fold reg folds bottun reg calls, small blind calls I check with 5c2c, flop 52A rainbow sb check, I bet $8 utg villain calls, bottun reg raises to $20 I look week (like seriously I looked week, not on purpose, mostly thinking about how I didn't have my br) and pop it to $50 villain raises all in to $190 reg folds I think for a while asked him if he had heard me say I didn't ave my br with me and he laughed. What's my move?

I probably wouldn't have put the 3b in unless I was planning on getting it in on the flop. When he shoves, our 2pair turns into a bluff catcher. We'd assume AK-A10 he probably raises preflop, so I think best case scenerio he has a hand like A3 (Top-pair with a gutter).

So my advice:
1. Flat the reraise to $20
2. Fold after he shoves.

Yea, I knew(felt) like the raise would push the button to fold I figured the utg would fold to after a 3b (i wasn't watching him only had a read on the button) I don't like show down on B2 when button has a week A to easy to be beat by the river. But I figure button had me pegged as a tight player and would fold a weak A.

But after looking weak, and the comment about the money I wondered if utg was trying to bully.

If I flat the re raise and say utg didn't jam but folded, how do I play on the turn if say a 8 or other non scare card comes out.

Sorry no computer and my phone is terrible.

Even though it would mean watching the tourney the rest of the day, I felt like if my br was behind me I would have called. I don't want to play scare even if it means playing for fun for the rest of the night, I guess thats not fun to me. So I played it as I would if the br was with me and I called. Not sure if that's the right call? But he had A5 and took it down.

If villain is bluffing here it is a little crazy since he is bluffing into bigtime strength - a raise and reraise. Your hand is at the very bottom of your bet/3-bet range otf and I don't see how you can call here.

I often check and hope LAG bets here otf, then evaluate. You should embrace having a player like this on your left.

V is never bluffing here, this is always at least two pair on the flop and since you have the worst two pair, you are almost always beat.

Thanks guys, after mulling it over I see more clearly now. There is this one donk that shoves all the time like that in a .50/1.00$ game I play. Who I always catch. Guess I got to remember most will be at least a slight bit better then that. At least till I get use to them.

Man I love poker, I have always been a tourney player that move into cash games this past year and its a blast. Still got a long ways to go!

Much rather have him on my right

I agree, his 4 bet is rarely a bluff. He expects and wants you to call him here. It smells like A2, A5, a straight, or a set, and basically nothing else.

Disaggree here. Not with the read, but the advice to play passive. Bottom 2 here, while being a powerful hand, is very vulnerable. Better to get aggressive right away and either charge premium to draw or find out early in the hand you've got trouble.
