Just read playertees post-

If The villain is capable of continuing firing barrels in large pots I don't mind it. But we should be focusing on CO

1/3 NL, Table is currently 7 handed and very deep. It is about 2-230am and game has been running since 730pm

The cast:

Seat 1 (CO) is the main mark at the table. He is very stationy preflop, on the flop and the turn. His bet sizing is HUGE-i.e. opening to 70 with 1 limper. He is capable of going crazy bluffing or floating multiple streets. He is mostly passive with draws. He is capable of value betting thin, but I am unsure if he thinks he is bluffing or value betting sometimes. He is stuck ~3k and has about ~550 in front of him.

Seat 2 (BN)-A very good thinking player. Attacks limpers often and switches between a TAG and LAG game well. He is a capable hand reader and will make a read/plan and stick with it which occasionally gets him into bad spots (making advanced plays vs. non-thinking players1-2 times a session. Effective stack is ~1500

Seat 3(SB) - a dealer at the game who is playing tonight instead. He just came to the game around 1pm. He bought in for 1k and quickly has built his stack up to ~2k. He is usually very aggressive, limp raises a wide range when he thinks there is lots of dead money or is up against a weak range or exploitable player. I have seen him L/R straddled pots quite often. He is involved in just about every straddled pot whether it’s limping or raising to his standard of ~36. In addition to hero, he is typically the most active 3 better in this game. He hand reads reasonably well and his main weakness is not adjusting from his aggro LAG game to TAG when the game eventually adjusts. He likes to apply a lot of pressure, is capable of bluffing but usually has solid equity vs. the appropriate range(s) or has the goods. Effective stack ~2000

Seat 4 (BB)-Not relevant

Seat 5(UTG-Hero)-Hero has a LAG image. Bought in for 500 and has added on 3x for a total of 1500. Has never had stack below 800, currently has about 3400 and covers table. I have showed/ gotten caught in 2-3 bluffs tonight. Just a few minutes prior vs. SB- I cbet flop, checked turn and raised river (post oak bluff sizing) with a busted gutshot-I was called and mucked my hand. Overall I have a winning image but can be crazy at times. I rarely ever limp, but since SB sat down I have limped a bit so I can call his wide preflop raises instead of getting blown out of pots by his constant 3 betting. I have only limped suited Aces 2-9, but none of these have made it showdown. I think that villain thinks I am limping small PPs or SCs/1 gapper type hands (which I have actually been opening).

Seat 6 (UTG+1) - Passive NIT, effective stack 500

Seat 7 (MP/HJ) Not relevant to hand

On to the hand: I don’t think preflop is super interesting and raising or folding are both options, but I have my reasons listed in the reads above to just call.

Button straddles 6
SB calls 6
BB folds
Hero calls 6 with A7dd
UTG1 calls 6
CO calls 6
BN checks his option

Decision 1:
Flop- Pot is ~39
A h 7c 5d
Checks to hero who?

AP bomb the flop.

On SB protecting from iso, though, our read is that BTN is "very good thinking player." SB's 3b's may temper BTN a little, but if he's a legitimately good player preflop, then he should be quite welcoming of SB 3b'ing a wide range OOP this deep. He can iso/call with J9s/A6s type hands and 4b a really wide range.

This might be giving BTN too much credit, so this kind of depends on how good this player is. Is he just very good as far as 1/3 Live games go?
