Uncapped 1/3 underground game. 7 handed late night action.
Villain,MP $1500: Callingstation of a whale who have been sunrunning pure tonight. Started out with $200 and builded his stack up in 2-3 hours. Playing 9 out of 10 hands dealt regardless of raisesizes, and hitting good strong nutted hands over and over again regardless of his starting hands. He is not totally clueless though, have played for many years (alot with hero too) and he is adjusting on some levels to different villains in the game. Very sticky though,pretty big gambler, both pre and post.Not afraid to put money into the pot. Doesent 3 bet pre often though,tonight he have only 3 bet once this far-not against hero.
Hero, UTG $550:: On his first buyin,longtime TAG reg in the game with a tight rep, and should have a clean strong image tonight. Been getting a decent amount of starting hands lately, raised pre and C-bet flop to win most of them. Not very happy with my seat tonight as villain in this hand is sitting two seats to my left, but adjusting as good as possible by tightening up preflop more than usual because of villains stickyness.
On to the hand. $6 straddle, hero raises UTG to $22 with A
K
. Villain proceeds to 3 bet to $55. Hero have developed a sizing read on villain that this small 3 bet sizing usually is a weak non ultra premium range, so he decides to 4 bet this to put the pressure on what he believes is a capped weaker than normal 3 bet range. Hero 4 balls it to $160. Villain thinks for a few seconds and tosses in the call.
