Table dynamics:
~8 players, we're all trash, hero is on 24 hours no sleep.
2 players of interest:
PF:
H 2kish, EP/MPish with A6dd.
V1 2kish, to hero's immediate left, bad lag super reg.
V2 1.3k, very bad almost whale, sitting a few seats to my right, currently in the blinds
BTN straddle to 10, v2 raises to $30, maybe another caller in between hero and v2, hero flats with plan of getting v2's money because v2 is terrible and we're IP, v1 flats, a few more flatters, and we have 6 way to flop and my hand usually sucks, lol. **** balls.
Flop(180ish)
7d 6h 4d
v1 checks!?, checks around, hero bets $100, v2 raises to $250, everyone folds, hero?
Alright, so here we are. We are getting raised by the bad lag, whose probably played a million hands of holdem as he travels to canada every week for work, and plays lots of poker stars and really loves the game.
His initial flatting range PF is going to be something like:
99-22,AJo-A2o,KQo-K9o,QJo-Q8o,JTo-J8o,T9o-T8o,98o,87o,76o,65o,54o,43o,AJs-A2s,KQs-K2s,QJs-Q2s,JTs-J6s,T9s-T6s,98s-96s,87s-86s,76s-75s,65s-64s,54s
Pretty wide and leaky huh? what's his flop raise continuation range look like?
99-33,A8o-A7o,A5o,Q8o,J8o,T9o-T8o,98o,87o,76o,65o,54o,43o,A8s-A7s,A5s,K8s-K7s,K5s,Q8s-Q7s,Q5s,J8s-J7s,T9s-T7s,98s-97s,87s-86s,76s-75s,65s-64s,54s,KdQd,KdJd,KdTd,Kd9d,Kd3d,Kd2d,QdJd,QdTd,Qd 9d,Qd3d,Qd2d,JdTd,Jd9d
Of course high equity hands like 2p and sets, and the typical semi-bluffs, and then very creative aggressive play, overs with backdoor & gs, combo draws, etc.. He'll raise all these with a mixed frequency, sometimes flatting, sometimes raising.
So a very wide range. So how do we both maximize our value and still defend.
What is the correct play? Folding is out of the question. Call or raise(sizing?), and what's our turn plan?
