2/5 1k max, 3-4 AM degen hours.
V - Is young-ish sLAG who just sat around 2:30-3 AM and bought in for max 1k. Opens 40-50 in normal pots, larger for straddles. Has three bet jammed 700 into $30 open and one or two calls. Has not folded to a 3 bet after PFR, is barreling with high frequency but does find some folds when Vs come back over the top. Early in his session Hero doubled through by calling $50 pre with AQo, calling $75 on Q high flop. Jamming over $185 turn bet for $390 total. V insta-called and insta mucked when Hero showed. Also showed down 24o in a raised pot where flop came 345, he led flop large and got called by PFR, A on the turn, he jams about 400 effective, AQ calls and loses.
Hero is MAG and should be viewed as tight / passive / sticky per earlier HH.
OTTH:
About 90 mins or so into Vs session, V ($950 effective) opens to $50 from EP, Hero (covers) raises to $150 from MP with A
Q
. Folds back to V who calls. Most likely capped due to previous history of 4 bets (AJ-, TT-, a host of other nonsense that sLAGs will defend with against narrow defined ranges from tight players).
Flop ($300): Q

V checks, Hero bets $225. I know I'll get some heat on sizing 3/4 but I feel like V is over calling all his Qx, KT, T9, and maybe 99-TT. We are cooked vs Jx, but his range is still wider than it should be here so I didn't see a need to worry about Jx too much yet OTF. Also due to his 4 bets V almost never has AA-KK here.
The fun part is that V may or may not decide that Jx isn't in Hero's 3 bet range from MP and decide to x/r AI. One thing is for sure, V x/r'd all in. Previously V was probably about 25% good when it got to showdown due to his aggression and sizing weeding out all but the strongest hands. This time it's not the standard b/b/b line though. Is this a scared money fold or a sigh call given V has Jx in his range and shouldn't be bluffing against our face up range of AQ, AA, KK only.
