1/3 NL

V1 (225) is an extremely loose, extremely poor player. Has gone to SD by calling river bets w/ J-high, then claiming to have misread his hand, overplays his holdings, overall just a terrible player. My plan of attack against this guy is simple, bet with the best of it and keep the pot small otherwise.

V2 (covers) is seasoned older guy, very aggressive and attacks passivity without mercy.

Hero (500) just sat down. Mid 20's, I often evoke the typical young poker player perception, though I do not compound it. I know both V1 and V2, although I find it unlikely that they remember me.

V2 straddles the button.

V1 limps UTG, 2 limps to Hero in CO who limps AQo. I want to under-rep my hand here and keep SPR either sky-high by seeing a flop for 2BBs or bring it way down w/ a limp/reraise.

V2 raises to 31.

V1 calls. 2 folds to Hero.

Hero reraises to 115 total. Trying to iso V1 and set up a PSB OTF. I am ahead of V2's PFR range.

V1 folds, V2 calls.

Flop (~275) Jd 9d 3h

Hero checks, V2 checks.

Surprised that V2 came along, particularly for a call, I'm shutting down if unimproved.

Turn (275) Ac

Hero (385) checks. V2 bets 100.

Hero...?

The only hands I can range him for are JJ & AK. Can I possibly continue?

Are you ahead of V1's range BEFORE the limp/rr or AFTER? If only before, then the limp/rr is an awful idea..

Check back flop bet turn small line from an aggromonkey looks like the nuts. I'm not a huge fan of the limp/rr but I guess if v2 raises his straddle a lot its ok.

Even if I'm isoing bad player in the blinds?

I cant imagine being ahead of his continuing range after reraising, but I figure he is dumping the majority of his range while bad player in the blind may continue.

He definitely does, to a fault, for e.g. 67o

Nice range for v2 lol. If it's ak, jj then obviously you should snap fold. How did the pot go from 275 to 385?

No I misread the action. Nice idea, bad result.

As for the turn, I keep thinking you've checked twice, so maybe he's turning TT or QQ into a bluff, repping AK. QQ doesn't like this flop and might check behind, thinking he's still behind AA/KK and JJ.

Sticky spot.

interesting spot. I don't really like limping pre. Since you did you can't really put him on a hand. You also bloated the pot huge which a deep stack.

How can you only range him on JJ AK only? He never has TT/QQ here? Have you ever seen him call a big bet pre with random trash?

If you have than you call.

If you think he is capable of folding AK to a shove than you shove repping the nuts.

I don't mind a call / check / call line if he is willing to bluff a lot since you say he attacks passive actions.
