Just after midnight - Monday night, 9 handed, £2/£5 (Treat it like $3/$6)
Table has couple of 6 regs including hero + 3 fish.
Hero (£1800) - Chinese early 30s in hoodie and a scarf. Sat down just over 1.5 hours ago with £400 after busting a £220 buyin tournament deep into day 2. Initially went on 1/2, but saw the fish on 2/5 and jumped right on. Spin it up to this stack with some good play + fortune (See hands below)
V1 (£350) - Mid 50s extremely overweight rich lady, calls with any two preflop and can bluff sometimes, but tonight mostly check/call or check/fold.
V2 (£600) - Mids 50s Local guy, crazy loose pre/ post. (See hands below)
V3 (£1500) - Competent grinder in mid 30s, not played with him before and he has been unlucky tonight.

To the hand.
UTG - Hero
MP - V1
BTN - V2
BB - V3
Hero opens J
J
to £20, V1 calls, V2 calls on, V3 completes.
FLOP (£82) : Q
8
2
V3 checks, Hero decides to check
Only Qx will call under my current image, V1 checks, V2 checks.
Turn (£82): 6
V3 checks, Hero checks again, V1 bets £50, V2 calls £50, HERO?
Things I have already considered
- We are getting 3.5:1 with a hand that beats almost everything but Qx
- We are OOP and I cannot call another bet on river.
- How often I am good against a loose passive old lady bet and a loose passive call on the btn
Given this is only a small pot but I would like to know the following
- How often we need to be right for calling turn to be profitable?
- Same question as above, but calling turn and river.
- What range can you give to both players to show calling is profitable?
