2/5$, full ring, friday night, $500 max buyin
Hero: $700, white male, late 20s, zip up and hat, playing standard ABC TAG because my table is AMAZING. Ive literally got 4 fish at my table with the only solid V on my first right and the OMC two to my left.
Hero has topped off once after opening with TT in MP and betting flop and turn. River brought in flush, straight AND paired board. I bet 3/4 OTF and turn and shut down river. Fishy V called flop with bottom pair no draw and river trips...sweet.
Other hand that went to showdown I limp in LP after 3 limpers with A9cc, call 25$ OTF with NFD. Turn brings my nut flush, V leads for 35, hero raises to 115, river bricks and V check calls 165$...MHIG.
I think that is the only hand that went to showndown before this hand happen.
V: >$1.5k; covers, white male, 42yo, but looks like early 30s, seems like a decent rec player who breaks even; has patience. This guys is a habitual check-raiser; and when he does c/r he does it BIG. Ex: someone opens for 20, 5 ways to flop, PFR cbets for 40, one or two callers and V would c/r to like 200$. He has done this like 4 times this session and never been looked up. Something tells me he had it every time. just doesnt seems to have it in him to bluff raise this big OOP.
The Hand:
V limps UTG+1, another shorty fish limps, hero raises to $30 with red AA. All other fold and blinds fold and V calls. shorty folds.
The Flop: 2
4
6
($72)
V leads for $30.
This is so odd to me. I cant recall him ever leading in a raised pot ESPECIALLY when Im prob cbetting the majority of the time. I think he is raising 99+ pre, limping all other PPs. Possibly limping many SCs, but I dont think he has 23, 34 in his range; maybe 54 and 56, though.
So when he leads, i'm confused. Why would he lead if he flopped 2pair+? he has been c/r everyone, why stop now?
But if hero raises to something like $100, wtf does he continue with? Isn't raising V OTF turning my hand face up; allowing him to play perfectly against hero?
Thoughts? Ill post more once I get a few responses!
Thanks!
