Linecheck please
, ty in advance.
Game is 5-5 nl, max buyin of 2500, 9-handed, saturdaynight about 3,5 hours into the session.
Hero: Quiet 30-something, playing somewhat taggish. Showed down QQ vs AQ on JT98K board (i 3bet pre, c-c'd every street) and Ad8d on an A high board where i backed into the nutflush vs a fun player. I'm down about 800, currently ~1200 stack.
Villain: friendly 30-something hipster reg, ive played a couple of sessions with him, seems like a typical decent reg. He's likely somewhat valueheavy but definitely not nitty. A couple of hands earlier he bet turn and river vs preflop raiser on AKQxT with T9o and somehow got called and won
. Villain bought in for the max and covers.
MP and HJ: MP is new to the table and just posted, HJ is a touristy/businessman looking fun player. I've iso-raised his limps twice before, with not much succes. Neither player really relevant to the hand.
OTTH:
MP posts and checks his option.
HJ limps
Hero is on the BTN with AcKs and makes it 35
Folds to Villain in the BB who makes it 120.
MP and HJ fold.
Villains valuerange is probably AQs, AK,JJ+. I cant recall villain ever 3betting light and he seems somewhat cally in these spots, but i'm reasonably sure he has at least some 3bet bluffs in his range. Either way i don't want to 4bet gii vs that range and folding seems ridiculous, so.....
Hero calls 120.
Flop (275)
Th8s7d
Check, check.
Not sure what his checking range is here, but this board definitely favors my range over his. He might have 99, TT or T9s once in a blue moon but i have almost all 2pair+ combos so i guess he's pot controlling often here. For that reason i check behind. Standard??
Turn (275)
Th8s7d
As
Villain bets 160. Hero calls.
Again, seems standard.
River (595)
Th8s7d As
9s
Villain checks.
Hero bets 440
So in my opinion i'm mostly up against AQs (2 combo's) or AK (6 combo's) here, which i expect him to mostly fold. He also has 1 combo of AA, and lets give him 1 random combo of TT and 1 random combo of QJs for good measure. I expect him to call with all of those. So 3 calls vs 8 wins.
To be clear: the backdoor flush comes in and i have the Ks.
I definitely have KsQs, JsTs and QJs in my preflop range, as well as 77-TT obv.
Did i range him correctly? Good bet? Good sizing? Or just a spewtard play
? Let me know.
Will post results later on.
