1/3 MGM National Harbor

V1- Decent reg. Stack size ($2,500)

V2- Loose Aggressive Asian. Stack ($400)

Hero- Tight Solid Image. Stack ($600)

V1 has the $6 straddle on.

2 calls in MP, Hero looks down at AK in the CO. Raise to $30.

V2 calls the $30 out of the BB and V1 calls out of the straddle, 2 limpers fold.

3 ways to a flop of AJT

V1 checks, V2 donk leads for $120. Hero flats and V2 calls.

Turn is the 4

V1 checks, V2 leads again for $230.

Hero????

What would a solid reg be donk barreling with on this board against us?

Seems like a tricky spot. We have TPTK and outs to the nuts if we are behind but at the same time could be nearly dead here. V2 could be donk leading with air or tons of combinations of 2 pair, a set (TT), flopped straight Etc. V1 most likely has pair + straight draw at worst and possibly bottom 2.

I'm a little confused, you say "what would a solid reg be donk barreling on this board" but you describe V2 as a LAG asian so.... do you mean V1?

Honestly, if a solid reg is leading 1.33x the flop at a 1/3 game I'd strongly consider folding. I think calling is OK, but definitely fold turn. Against a LAG asian it's more difficult, but at 1/3 if someone I consider a very solid player is leading into me this big on this type of board I'm inclined to give them a lot of credit. Our AK isn't super strong here.

Also, what the hell is up with a $2500 stack at a 1/3 game? I play at MD live and you never see that, how is the 1/3 at MGM?

You beat AQ
you lose to AJ, a10, QK, 1010, JJ

He lead pot and on turn pretty much shoved all in
I don't see how you are winning here and you have V1 behind you

Yes sorry I switched them up. V1 is leading flop and turn and is the solid reg.

Yeah she had nearly a $3k stack when I sat down into the game. 1/3 at MGM can play huge compared to other venues.
