So this hand happened a few weeks ago and I can't stop thinking about it. Really would like y'alls input. It's quite strange.
V in this hand is older white guy, baseball hat, looks like he could be a tradesperson or junior college lecturer or something...has a pretty big stack. H just sat down a few orbits ago, has seen villain play a lot of hands, one of note was when V 3! 99, ckd oop on a j high flop, then turned a set and got decent value...H is mid 30s white guy, wearing hoodie, headphones, prob generic grinder type image. OTTH.
Folds to H in HJ, H has A
2
opens to $12, folds to V in SB, V 3! $25. We are $600 effective, H calls. I feel this is pretty standard because the 3! was so small and we are so deep.
Flop (HU) $50 3

J
V leads $75 into $50...????
So weird right? WTF does V have here? I was kinda confused, does he do this w QQ-KK trying to protect against an A? Does he do this w a nutted hand to prevent draws? I really have no idea, I tanked for awhile, considered raising, considered folding, decided we are so deep, I have a huge draw, V is not scared to put money in, I call.
Turn $200 3

V insta checks...like INSTA... I'm even more confused now...that 5 is kinda a blank, right? I rarely would have a 5 here, I'd think most hands in V range would consider action for a lil longer instead of literal insta ck when turn comes out. H cks behind.
Riv $200 3

V cks, H thinks, bets $125 into $200...V does some chatting..."well, I'll probably have a chance to win it back from you, you know what, I'm all in"..."If you have the card I think you have, you'll call"... so now the pot is $825 and it's $375 for H to call...2.2 to 1. His talk and manner really led me to believe he wanted a call, my thought was maybe he checked a boat on turn, but what boat could he possibly have? Why would he overbet the flop with a set? WTF is going on here? I've never really folded a hand this big in my life, but I cannot think of bluff he would do this with...??? thoughts??? I had lost a flush vs boat a few days previous where I had told myself I'd bet/fold but then couldn't actually fold lol...trying to work on making some big folds (since I'm naturally a calling station)...but is this the spot to do it? V line makes no sense...
