1/2 normal table without any sharks
V1 on super duper tilt/drunk, down >1000, raising preflop almost every hand to $15 if he was first to act or limped to him, and calling down with nothing. V2 a 30ish rec/reg black guy i consider worse than my self. second buyin. got his chips when he called all in and caught his flush on river.
preflop
V1(150,UTG): raise to $15
V2(350,UTG+1): call
Hero(600, MP): raise to $30 with A
A
call,call.
flop: 4
6
7
V1 bet 18, V2 call, Hero raise to $60. V1 folds. V2 tank tank tank calls. he almost folded.
i didn't think V2 was calling and wanted to isolate V1. if i knew V2 was calling i would have raised more. i assumed he knew i had a big hand and he didn't hit a piece of that flop. on hindsight, i had been bullying the table a little and had bluff raised with KQ on rag flop to isolate V1 and won a huge pot with K high to V1's nothing many hands ago. so now i realize that's why he didn't give my raise a credit.
My read on him was an overpair or SOME SORT OF STRAIGHT DRAW.50/50.
turn: 5
V2 checks.
if he had SOME SORT OF STRAIGHT DRAW he probably hit the strt, and if he had an over pair, i am still good. there was a very small chance that he had a set or 2 pair on the flop too. so i check.
river: 9
didn't change anything
V2 check. Hero check. V2 shows Q
6
for a flush.
all throughout the hand i never saw the flush !!!
after showdown, a couple of players said i should have bet the turn. V2 also said he would have folded on turn bet.
i didn't bet the turn because i wanted to keep the pot small and felt like i was either way ahead or way behind. there were far many better spots available on this table to make plays than this tricky situation.
now i realize my mistake was putting him on SOME SORT OF STRAIGHT DRAW rather than the exact strt draw i believed he had. he is not calling $42 more with a gutshot. if he had an open end strt draw, 5
does't complete his strt. i would never believe he would call $15 preflop raise with 89. so i might have bet turn with all these knowledge. lesson learned : NEVER PUT VILLAIN ON SOME SORT OF A DRAW. ALWAYS DEFINE THE VILLAIN'S DRAW.
so i want to know u guys views on my thinking process and the play. did i play the hand too badly, badly, ok, alright or good. what would you have done in these situations ?
