Hero ($1000): Viewed as very TAG, table has a ton of respect any time I put money in the pot, especially post flop. I have shown zero bluffs (over a few hours at the table) and a couple people even have commented that if I bet, I always have the goods.
Villain ($1,500): Late 20's/early 30's Asian, competent but definitely has some leaks. He is stuck about 1k for the day and has been hinting that he really doesn't want to lose any more (scared money to me..). He even hesitated for 1-2 minutes to call an all in with JQo on an 89s10 flop because he was afraid that the flush was coming.
The hand....
Pre flop: 3 limps to hero who limps
10J in the hijack. Cutoff limps, Button raises to 30. Fishy UTG calls ($800), loose passive MP calls ($1,300), hero calls ($1,000), CO calls ($900).
***The table has been extremely loose passive all night with almost every flop going ~5 way, and very few big PF raises from my left. All of villain's raises have been way too small for this table, he is betting this amount with both medium strength hands and premiums. If I had to guess: 88+, AQ+, with a
very small mixture of random SC's, baby pairs, etc.
Flop: (5 way, $150 in pot): K
9
K
Checks to hero who checks, CO checks, Villain pots $150.
Folds to hero, who raises to $400 (and ready to call all shoves for the remaining <$600).
Thoughts??? Pre-flop line (I don't love it, but I felt a slight edge at this table), flop c/r, sizing, etc...
*** Villain's full pot on this flop really threw me off here. I had not seen him pot a flop like this, and it really felt like Js/Qs/As. I don't think villain ever does this with a boat/quads, so I have outs no matter what but I always hate drawing on paired boards. It's also worrisome that I can really only rep 99 here, but I feel like I have so much fold equity (and equity if called) against this opponent. And I wasn't too worried about the CO waking up with a hand b/c he completely checked out while I was deciding how much to raise.
