H: Younger guy at the table. Has been card-dead for an 2 hours, folding nearly all hands and have used tight image to 3b a twice to steal some pots pre-flop. Also successfully bluffed once (river-raise) and tabled 64o OTB against Villain 2 hours ago (no tilt). 1k effective
V: Running hot. Does weird stuff, will raise randomly with middle-strength hands, sometimes makes tight folds sometimes makes loose calls. Has raised on the flop and then checked back turn. Has donked into someone's flop-raise. Loose PF. Hard to generalize his patterns - but clearly lacking some fundamentals.
Hero dealt AQo UTG+2, raises to 35. V calls in UTG+3, one other caller.
(~110) Flop: AK5hh (hero does not have a heart). Hero c-bets 50, V raises to 150. Other player folds. Hero calls.
(~400). Turn: offsuit 2. Hero bets 300. Villain tank calls.
(~1000). River: offsuit 3. Hero looks down at stack of ~600 left. Shoves. V snaps.
Thoughts on how it was played? Thoughts on potential 3b on flop?
Flop: ok
Turn: ok
River: suboptimal. I don't think you're getting called by worse (A8-AT are easy folds), so your bet is only going to run into better hands: A4, A5, A3, 64hh. x/c seems to be a cleaner approach, especially since he'll have a lot of busted broadway + flush draws which he may want to bluff.
Let V take the lead after he raises. Don't lead turn. call down so he can show his 74 for a rivered str. lol. Seriously tho, you have to let him continue with his full range. Don't force him to fold trash by raising.
