2/5 NL
V1 - $1400 - Aggressive player. I have only been seated an hour, but this guy has the respect and admiration (?!?!) of the two guys on either side of me. He has opened fairly often, but plays more cautious as the bets get bigger.
Hero - $400 - Not sure what the table thinks of me. Earlier in the session I limp, 3! to take down $100 in dead money when V1s EP $20 raise was called in 4 spots before I made it $125 to go w/ A
T
. Other than that,, I haven't been active.
OTTH
V1 UTG makes it $15 to go.. A small open for this game.
V2, V3 call
Hero is SB looks down at A
J
.. I cosidered squeezing, but figured I was okay to close action and see the flop.
Flop ($60)
A
J
K
I check. I want to see how the field reacts to V1s C bet.
V1 bets $50 - I expect him to C bet this wet board about ALL the time.
V2 and V3 fold.
I call
Turn ($160)
9
Hero - Bets $100 . I decide to take the lead and test Vs strength. I like my two pair here, but I am not prepared to check/call, check/call the rest of my stack. I would rather put the pressure on him. It is a blocking bet of sorts, and a value bets of sorts, but I don't know which one!
V1 - Pushes....
So it is $235 back to me.. Pot is $595.
V1 has got to be thinking that I am pot committed at this point.
What do I beat? AThh, KQhh, KJ (only two suited combos left, for an UTG lead), AQhh, A9 (leadig UTG? prob not),
What do I chop? AJ
What beats me? 99, JJ, AK, AA,
Would an AQ, KQ, or AT from a good villian overplay his one pair hands this much against a guy that is almost pot comitted? Any other hands that could be out there that I am not accouting for?
What does my hand look like if you are in villians seat?
