Would appreciate critique of my play on every street. Not sure at all if I played this correctly.

Hero: ($300) older white male, probably seen as weak tignt.

V1: (covers) Young white male, TAG, have not seen him get out of line, seems like a competent player

V2: (covers) middle aged Asian woman, in on every pot, will limp/call raises with a wide range. Saw her bet all the way to the river from middle position with 92 and lose to a larger club flush on the river.

OTH

Hero in cut off with 77

Three limpers to Hero who calls, button folds, V1 in SB calls and V2 in BB calls.

Flop: ($18) 987 Checked to Hero who bets $15, V1 raises to $45, V2 calls, hero gave it some thought and finally called. Was this a mistake? Should I have reraised? As nitty as I am, it seemed to early to fold a potential full house even if one of them has the made straight,


Turn: ($153): 6 Hero checks, V1 bets $30, V2 calls.

Here is question, I put both of them on made straight or chasing a straight or flush. Being rather the passive type, I usually don't chase and if V2 would have folded, I probably would have folded as well. But, with such a small bet and since V2 called, I thought I had the potential to win a large pot with a paired board so I called. Mistake? Is this a place for a raise? Nitty as I am, I could not find a fold being offered 7-1.

River ($243) K V1 bets $60. V2 calls, Hero folds. I missed the full house, so I saw no reason to call. One or both of them has a made straight. Does anyone call here?

I think you played it fine. Bottom set is not a strong hand when there is action on this board. On the turn you are getting too good of odds to fold, one of the two usually has a straight and you might stack somebody when you do hit. River is an easy fold when the flush gets there also.

You could call river if V2 didn't just because of the pot odds and the chance V1 is making a blocking bet with two pair but once V2 calls you won't be good often enough. Occasionally they will both show something stupid but it's too rare to call unless V1 likes to make a lot of small bets and V2 will station off with single pairs.

Will how are you checking turn IP? IK just made a small gaffe, just clarifying for other readers.

Anyways yea call turn fold river. It's very close given you can't even be certain your 8/9 outs are clean. OOP the turn is probably a ck-f

I would have raised pre personally. As played you got a good price on both streets and couldn't connect. It happens.

I'm cool with preflop.

I'd probably overbet this board to like $25 or $30. No draws are folding this board to a slight overbet, especially one that is small $$$ wise.

Really tricky spot facing the checkraise and the flat. How aggro is V1? Would he raise 99/88 preflop? Would he get aggro with a pair + draw on this board? I kinda have a rule about not stacking off in a limped pot, but with this huge pot now brewing and a fish V2 trapped in the hand, I might consider doing so. I *might* consider shoving here, especially considering the number of potentially horrible cards on the turn.

I'd also call the turn. We're getting 7:1, so easily enough to chase out boat outs, although there is a good chance some of our outs are dead. Really weird bet sizing by a so-called competent player on the turn with the fish V2 trapped in the hand; you'd think he'd bomb this if he had a straight in order to protect against the flush draw (which V2 looks to be on).

Again really weird river action. I gotta say, I have zero clue what V1 is doing when he again bets small and again on a horrendous card. Really looks like a stupid blocker bet with a weak hand. I guess he could have a small straight here, or perhaps even 65cc. I think I also sigh fold as I just don't see how a set could overcall and be good on this board, even though the odds are enticing.
