Mid day 1-3 game. Everyone is playing typical day time poker. Villian is a reg and pretty a damn good player. I try and stay out of his way as much as possible.
Hero has a stack of $480 w/ A
Q
on the HJ
Villian stack $650 and opens in UTG+2 to 18 (standard)
Flop: Q
6
2
(Pot $40)
Villian bets $22, Hero calls.
I thought about raising but decided against it because he would fold his weak hands and only continue with a range that crushes me? I know he wouldn’t have two pair on this board structure though.
Turn: 3
(Pot $84)
Villian bets 50, Hero calls
Back door diamond draw has arrived but I apply the same logic as on the flop and just call?
River: 8
(Pot $184)
Villian bet 200, and we tank...
Villian has been betting the whole way, I put him in a range of, including bluffs after opening EP of QQ+,66,22, AQs+, AdJd, KdJd, JdTd, AQo
This gives me about 35% equity again this range and I’m not getting 2:1. What do we do in spots like these?
