Hi guys. The game is a late wednesday night 5-5 with mandatory 10 straddle. The table has a few regs, but also some really fun players.

Hero is playing taggish and is the effective stack at 2k. Both villains have 3k+ stacks.

V1/UTG is a reg and the villain from this thread.

V2/HJ is an American expat (i live in the Netherlands) who is putting money in the pot at every chance he's getting, mostly passive but not always. 2 example hands:

1: MP raiser, V2 calls in the SB, i 3bet to 160 with AK, only v calls. V instacalls 300 on a 522x flop. I shove ~1k on 7x turn, V calls with 86o. River offsuit 9 and i tilt my way back to the cage.

2: CO raises, V2 3bets from the SB, BB 4bets to 250, V calls. He x/r a 200 cbet to 600 on a AK3x flop. 8 turn goes check/check. V bets 1300 on blank river, gets called, shows AJo and loses to AK.

On to the actual hand:
V1/UTG raises to 30.
V2/HJ clearly does not look at his cards, says 'I haven't looked' and makes it 80.
Hero (BTN) looks down at AA and makes it 300.
V1 tank calls.
V2 still doesn't look and instacalls.

His blind instacall obviously means i sized too small, shouldve made it 450-500. Oh well.

Flop(895 after rake):
443r

V1/UTG leads for 300.
V2/CO says 'now i have to look', looks and immediately makes it 1k.

Hero has 1700 and.....?

So V2 gave off a bit of a tell when he looked at his cards imo, going from a semi-slumped posture to sitting straight up. Add in the instant bet and i'm not loving my spot. He has 4x a lot for sure. However he likely also does this with JJ+, and maybe 52 and 65 straightdraws.

I have V1 beat for sure and he is almost always folding if i put money in the pot here.

As always all comments are appreciated, so feel free to tell me what you think. Thanks in advance.

tank call and hope V1 comes along with his overpair. Never ever folding with an SPR of 2 against described V who is clearly capable of complete spazz.

I think calling and shoving would look the same to V1 and he would fold his TT/JJ anyway so just shipit and GL.

QFT. Likely to tilt like crazy when he has a 4, but c'est la vive.

Never folding.

Call and stick the rest in OTT.

The consensus seems to be to get it in, which is obviously reasonable.

So how much weight do we put on the live tells? The instant bet and the change in posture?

It means he has something he likes almost always. The thing is, this dude likely likes any overpair and maybe even A3 as well as trips, and even though he loves them he likely slows down with boats and quads.

Probably need more of a history with villain for live reads to make me consider folding. He has something he likes but given your description that can be more then 4x or 33. With stack sizes you are happy to get it in vs draws and over pairs. It's possible he might even take this line with an actual bluff. I have seen super loose types do that on this sort of board that should have missed everybody else.

I would take the live read seriously but without a good idea what he considers worth raising in this situation AA is too good to fold.

Trivial call. Never folding. Even if he has all the tells in the world that don't include showing me a 4, i'm willing to stack off.

cmon flop is 443r and you really think he's trying to ship it with the nuts and push everyone out? This guy obviously doesnt care about money and just thinks he can outplay everyone. Call and let him really try to rep that random 4 on the turn again. Also if youre looking for tells, what was his behavior on the AJ hand? Since he clearly thought he was value betting (obviously has no understanding of it though)
