Canterbury Park 9 handed

Villain is a lag and is extremely annoying, trash talking spoiled young white kid who looks like the son of Joe Pesci or him when he was twelve years old. He belittles fish and just won't shut up about his "glory days" in the "big games" lol ... Dude is a super phony. I saw him put in six bets otf for a free card. And then he belittled the opponent for playing tptk so aggressively lol! He is pretty laggy pf too. He almost always opens. He is sitting two seats to my right and naturally I've been religiously three betting him and winning. He went off on me when my JTs held up lol.

I have KdJd in the sb

There are two limps and Little Pesci raises in the co. I 3b. Bb folds and limpers calls. Little Pesci just calls.

Flop 4w (12sb): 8s5h3h ... I bet and one of the limpers calls and Little Pesci raises. I call. The lone limper calls.

Turn 3w (9bb): 9c ... I check call Little Pesci's cbet (do we really have six clean outs here)? Limper folds.

River HU (11bb): ... I Check fold?

What cards that don't Improve my hand do I check call with if I am not check folding? None, some or all?

Honestly if he was free carding with Hearts a lot of combos beat me in this 3!pf pot. If he has ANY pp I'm beat. If he has 67 I'm beat. Really I'm hoping for him to have gotten frisky with JT QT QJ maybe KT but the number of combos aren't enough to justify call here? Especially on any board pairing or stupid card like a trey or an off suit deuce? I wanted to show up this merfer with a hero call down with king high but i felt i just couldn't do it. Am I giving him too much credit given the description?

Conversely if a "scare card" drops I think raising for a bluff is silly because he seems showdown bound and I haven't seen him bf yet. Hypothetically if he has played bigger games and is capable of bet folding would anybody raise any of the scare cards otr to fold out a big over pair or kickered hand?

Thoughts on other streets are appreciated as well.

Thanks for the fb.

Does he bet horses a lot to (irrelevant)? IMO I personally fold the river UI. I think his range is so wide he could have 3c4c, Ax, 7d8d, and its just not worth a K high call IMO. I guess I would fold and try and punish his bad play later, and you will im positive of that.

I guess if your determined to call obv any K, J, any non-H board pair since you give him credit on H's it seems some of the time, any card non-H 9 or less, but I just think there is more cards that I can fold, then I can call IMO.

spite is never the right reason to make a light call down.

+1

I'm waiting for a better spot vs this villain. And from the description there will be many.

If he is a thinking player I may be more inclined to c/r turn and fold to a !3 than make a hero call on the end. You are putting in the same amount of bets and I think giving yourself a better chance.

What is our river plan if we take the initiative on the turn?

Are we leading blanks or shutting down?

Are we now able to rep 's and leading if one lands (pretty sure the answer is no, but in the heat of the moment I might lead a river )

Hopefully these are not obvious questions, but I always end up kicking myself when I look back on a fancy play with a villain who tends to be showdown bound. =\

I wouldn't 3 pre, 9 is basically the worst card in the deck since you only beat 45 57 and worse than KJ high hearts, if you're inclined to call down, do so on all non-heart board pairs and aces.

This is a fine spot to cold call preflop. If i were inclined to continue on the turn, id raise.

I misread the board as you can see with what straight draws I claimed you beat. Seems like you should call turn fold river without improving, you only beat a few fd combos and 64.

To those advocating a turn check-raise: Are we expecting villain to fold pairs on this board texture? OP's villain description seems to suggest otherwise, but I could be wrong.

i think thats right
ive been encountering the same impertinent behaviour at my local casino and trying to restrain myself from this form of tilt
villans days are numbered just not on this hand
cash once said "i shot a man in Reno just to watch him die"
he was on tilt too

I cold call pre, fold turn.

If the villain had just opened, I'd be fine with the pf 3!; but there are two limpers in the picture. How does our hand stack up against their ranges? I'm inclined to fold this preflop, as I don't like 3-betting and I don't like flat-calling.

As played, k/f the river is good.

i don't cbet that flop

Really? I call KJs in sb all day with the 2 limpers.
