1/2 game
Effective stacks 200
Hero is middle-aged, seen as solid/somewhat nitty by villain
Villain probably sees hero’s PF range as something like 77+, AK, AQ, AJ, KQ and not much else (I should balance more with low suited connectors etc)
Villain is older, solid, plays somewhat wide range of starting hands in both raised and unraised pots, he loves hands like Q7s
Villain plays straightforward, he bets large with good hands (Top Pair ok kicker) but bluffs somewhat. Can be quite sticky.
Hero has AdKd in the BB. Three players limp. Hero makes it 17. Villain calls from UTG+1, others pass.
Flop JdJh5c
Pot is ~40
Hero bets 15, V calls after 2 seconds
Turn 2d. Pot 70. H now has NFD. H checks, V bets 40 quickly. H calls.
River 8s. H didn’t have a plan for when the river bricks. H is now putting V on a small pair. H now suddenly thinks to himself ‘my turn call probably looks quite strong, like I’m defending with a mid or good pair. Maybe a bet from me now can get him to fold a small pair’. H bets 40 at the 150 pot. V thinks for 10 seconds and calls.
Thoughts on my line?
What did V have?
