V(Covers slightly): Reads on V are that he calls too much and value bets thinly. Overall likely a losing player.
Two limps, Hero raises to 13 from A5dd from HJ, CO, BTN, SB and V(LJ) call.
Reason I raised was because the table was very aggro pre so I wasn't expecting to see a flop for $2. I wanted the initiative and I'm not far from the button.
Flop($77): Qd8c3d
Checks to V who donks 30. Hero decides to flat.
This is where I think I made a mistake. I decided to flat because I was getting more than good enough odds to call, and I wanted someone else to come along to build a pot. However my raise range bluffs are going to be AKdd, AJdd, ATdd, JTdd, T9dd, and j9dd.
That makes A5dd my 7th best bluff, so I would be slightly overbluffing since I won't raise Q8s and 33 from the HJ. However, if I'm going to raise AA or KK here occasionally then it makes sense to raise.
Anyway, everyone else folds.
Turn($137): 7s
V snap bets 100
Considered shipping here but V felt super strong here and I didn't feel like I had much FE so I decided on a fold.
What do we think about a raise on the flop and is the Pre-flop raise fine given the game dynamic.
If we are going to raise I think we have to go bigger considering there are so many callers.
With deep stacks I think it’s a fine raise
As played I don’t really like raising here since this board connects with so much of the callers range.
And since we have two diamonds it’s unlikely anyone else has a decent flush draw
Like u said since we are getting odds I think a flat is okay and a fold is okay on the turn
