Prehand Descriptions
Villain 1: Newish to table. Mid 40s-50s Asian man who I haven't seen get out of line since he sat down. He's about even from his 200euro buy in.
Hero: 21. Not sure if it's relevant but the hand takes place at Concord Card Casino in Vienna, Austria. Constantly asking dealer to translate others bets/raises as the table is German and English only. Sitting on 650+euro.

Some of the juiciest games in Europe. Recommend checking it out if you are in Europe or traveling though.


$1/2 NL (9 handed)
Starting Stacks
V1 (193)
Hero (650+)

Hero is dealt 7 7 in the SB

3 limps to me in the SB. I make it 8. BB calls as does all limpers.
To the flop 5 ways


Flop (40) 9 7 6
Hero leads 25 (Horrible bet??) What is optimal play? BB calls. V1 raises to 85. Folds to me who goes in to the tank.

BB now has exactly 100 behind and I am pretty sure BB will fold.

This is super standard right?
Hero?

Yup. Standard ship.

Edit:
I guess we could flat with the intention of calling his turn ship on all turn cards if we think that he always has a straight here.
But there should be enough two pairs, and combo draws her to make a ship profitable.

25 euro is fine. I bit larger is okay too. Any pair/sd and or FD is never folding to 25 euro or 40 euro. Never folding.

Ship and embrace the #variance

Raise bigger pre or limp.

Bet flop bigger.

As played, insert the monies into the pot.

Shove. It's time to gambollll
