Oh, and V2 is awful. This hand, as a whole, should be enshrined. I'd like to watch a live action simulation of it every time I'm down on my own skill level and confidence.
I don't take offense. Thanks for all of your criticism. I don't get to play that much anymore since I work in NYC now. But i completely agree a need to brush up on fundamentals, which is probably (and clearly) the weakest part of my game.
I am just not a big fan of pre flop 3bet, 4bet when I could see a flop for cheap,
but this is mostly because of my perceived table image, not because I don't think that play is powerful. I am definitely up a lot of money playing poker for my career given the stakes I play (and I've played a lot), but brushing up on fundamentals is something I'm trying to improve.
And yes, I do agree, the fact he didn't raise me with AKss is the absolute nut low play. He trapped me, and then didn't punish me. #fish.

Well I wrote that after your response.... but I don't completely disagree. I don't think calling limp, reraises with QJcc is a +EV play, let's get that out of the way.
But, I just didn't think he was very strong when he did it
in this particular scenario. So knowing I was closing the action, thought I could win a big pot. But being OOP really sucks, and I should make a note to play less hands there.

but you butchered this pre. no problem with calling the initial raise from V2 to 25. In fact, you could even re-pop him to 75 and then c-bet him off of whatever piece of cheese he has. But whenever V1 backraises to 60, you should dump it. JJ is the very bottom of his range right there.
By the river, this is exactly what I thought. And yeah addressed that point above, just thought it was a frustration raise, not an AA or KK raise preflop by V1. Guess I was right, but can't be right every time. Thanks for your input!
