Hi guys,

This hand was played in a € 550,- team event in the tournament week of our local casino. This event is the one with the lowest buy-in, so overall a very soft field. Even more so because a 5-card PLO € 250 unlimited rebuy event started at the same time, so most 'good' players are in that event.

Structure: 100 teams, 30 min levels, each level you switch with teammate. 10K starting stack, tabel 9 handed. Its seems that most players at the table are nittier than normal/then they should because of being afraid to mess it up for the teammate. Villain not one of them.


Hero: Has a lot of online experience, especially 6max NLHE / PLO midstakes, but stopped playing full time some years ago. Decent understanding of mtt's, but obv. rusty with (live) poker, accept for spewing drunk on the local 2-2 tables with mates every now and then. Probably viewed as nitty, due to getting unplayable hands the last few orbits.

Villain: Is on the table a few orbits and on my immediate right, was (very) tight at the beginning, but opened up since the spewmonkey of the table busted. On our left are 3 very tight and predictable players. Villain is probably the only solid player on the table, but that's only based on his appearance, age and the fact he was the only one at the table who was also annoyed with a guy who tanked every hand like Will Kassouf (pre and post).

Effective stacks: 18K at sb150 / bb 300 / ante 50, average 13K orso


Hand:

Villain raises to 650 in HJ. Hero calls 6h6d in CO. Everyone folds.

Flop (2200): 985r villain bet 975, hero calls,

Turn (4150): 985r Ad (bringing fd) villain bets 2K, hero calls,

River(8000): 985r Ad 7s villain bets 6,5K, hero calls.


I wonder if my pre/flop/turn calls are correct. More confident about turn then flop, mostly because I expected him to check most decent aces on flop and check most overpairs to flop on turn. Besides that this flop isn't that good for my perceived range and he probably expects me to fold most overs (Ax etc) on flop.

His river bet I didn't like to much, I expected him to give up a lot of his bluffs on the river after my turn call as most people do. Fire away.

... flop call is fine... turn hits his range very hard and you should be folding here imo and you should be shoving river imo

^ we have a straight on the river

Fold turn, the 7s aren't even clean outs. As played def just call river.
