Hello,

1/2 game.

UTG+1 loose 30's asian guy on a hot run, adores to check/call with almost any holdings pre- and post-flop as well. He won some huge pots in the last 1 hr mostly by rivering straights/top 2's etc.

Hero has a TAG image.

Hero (800, HJ), UTG+1 covers, UTG+2 covers

UTG+1 raises 10, 1 call, Hero raises to 35 with AsAd, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls

Flop (~110): AcJd6h

V1 checks, V2 checks, Hero bets 75, V1 calls, V2 folds

Turn (260): 2h

V checks, Hero bets 140, V calls

River (540): 7h

V bets 300, Hero ? (remaining stack 550)

River bet came after a huge tank, on the flop and turn he snapcalled my bets.

Thanks.

Must bet bigger pre and probably a bit bigger post as well.

As played he obviously claims to have a flush, but I'm not folding top set to this guy who can probably show up with all kinds of nonsense. Call.

I'm raising to 45 pre and betting bigger on flop and turn

As played easy call, if he has some funky Axhh then NH, V is much more likely to have 2P IMO

125 at a 1/2 game from a TAG? That seems a little absurd. ~50 is probably correct. I think Turn bet is also fine, because you don't actually want to price him to badly out of his draws or even the most gambitiest of fish will fold. Assuming V is on the flush draw, would need 35% to justify the call. Issue is that if his hand was AhXh, he could also think he is good here a decent amount of the time.

River is obviously bad card, but apart from bigger on the flop, I don't know if H did anything wrong really. Hindsite is 20-20, but you really don't want to get a fold on the turn.

I think the biggest sizing problem is on the turn. With someone who x/c's down so often, and currently holding the nuts, but with draws out there, charge him big time.

River snap call. Villain should likely have more random 2p hands than flushes.

Thanks for all the answers, guys. Actually I'm kinda surprised, as I was so sure that folding the river would've been the right move. Given the fact that the x/c,x/c,donk is the typical fish nuts line. Especially from a station.

I agree that I should've bet a bit more on every street.

Anyways, in reality I obviously called and he show up with QhJh.

As I was reading the only hands that came to mind was suited Broadway draws on the flop that backed into a flush. AP, it's very very hard to fold too set. Don't blame the call, at the table I'd do the same n pretty much be sick once Villain shows QThh. You live n move on

400bb deep and you're 3b 17bb vs an utg1 loose spaz who doesn't fold pre? This is literally a nits dream. Heaps more every street. Don't be afraid to pot it or over bet either.

or AX of

then he is getting a almost 4:1 on a call, but being so stong there is some merrit to sizing smaller.

River: Crappy situation when your unsure about top set, still I think your getting to good of a price to fold.
