Table: Weak passive, a lot of limping, people respect 3b from some players and will always fold and will call everytime against some (me)
Hero: Laggish player, winning player, seen as a good lag. Can 3 barrel bluff but usually has it by the river if he bets big. Rarely 4b as a bluff. Take down a lot of medium size pot and lose a lot of small one. Since people call too often, I don't try to bluff really often. I will try to limp sometimes with hands to try to hit good and value bet the calling stations. Aggressive and raise a lot IP.
Vilain: Good tag, the player I respect the most at the table. Played for like 3-4 years, used to be lag (50%) but now is 15-18% tight (really loose table). Can bluff big but since he switched back to tag, he bluff rarely. He can spot good spot to 3b and sometime squeeze. He can get on short term tilt after losing 3-4 buy-ins and gamble a bit to get back in the positive. Currently about even with 3-4 buy ins.
Hero (~800$)
Vilain (~650)
Hero is dealt KK in the sb
Weak lag open from CO to 10, vilain(BTN) 3b to 35 , hero 4b to 85, lag fold, vilain calls.
Read: I seen him attack some weak player who open and they respect him a lot, he always does it in position. I've seen him do it at least 4-5 times in the last 3 hours. He usually take it down with a cbet. I elect to 4b to remove some crap in his hand. I did it too because I did it 1-2 times in 4 hours as a bluff and he know I can do it again (one shown one not shown). If he 5b me, I'm jamming since I think he will flat AA.
Flop: 268r (~200$)
Hero lead for 105$, Vilain call
Read: I want value from smaller pocket (9-Q) that will probably call what is perceived as a Cbet. If he didnt flop a set with smaller pocket I think he give up anyway. Once he call, I put it mostly on sets and smaller PP and AA.
Turn: Q (~400$)
Hero bet 180, vilain raise 400 (around 100 behind)
Read: I hate the turn since it hit a part of his range. I bet a bit under half because I think he will give up most PP but might call with JJ-TT. I plan to check call river. When he raise... He rep pretty thin, mostly sets. I don't think he does that with AA since he could be as scared as me of the turn and I could have 4b with a small pp that hit a set, he could put me on KK and shove here to get max value.
Hero ???
In retrospect, I should probably check the turn for pot control and to get more value from some PP. My bet on the turn get called more often by hands that beat me than hands that I beat. I shouldn't try to set up for stacks with only an overpair 600bb deep.
