$2-$5 home game.
Villain is mid 30s. Plays a lot of hands. Definitely has the highest VPIP in the game. Usually opens. Will bet the crap out of all his hands from strong to bluffs with no equity. Definitely not the guy you want having position on you. That said, you can flop huge and he will often bet for you.

Effective stacks $750. 6 handed.

LJ folds. Villain in HJ opens to $15. CO folds, BTN folds. I look down and see KsKh. I repop to $60. I probably could’ve gone as high as $75 and he’d still call. BB folds. Villain calls. Let’s take a flop.

FLOP ($120) 7dJs4d. I lead $75. Villain quickly calls. My thinking is I’m getting value from his entire range.

TURN ($270) Jd. I bet $125. He thinks a little and calls.

RIVER ($520) 9h. Hero?
My instinct is to shove. Though everything is in. Diamonds. QTs, T8s, Jx.

Is my hand face up as an overpair? Would anyone have checked the flop?
Comments on all streets appreciated. Thank you.

On river b/f has merit but I probably check / call assuming V is going to fire away regardless. Jamming only gets called by better. Checking allows V to spazz.

How do you range on him on flop and turn after he calls?

I think his range is still super wide. I would’ve felt more comfortable on a complete blank river like a 2c or 4s or something. He could have anything form a jack to a draw still.

Honestly if he is the type of spew to just blast off at any sign of weakness the turn should be a trivial check

1.) Jam only gets called by better.
2.) Villain is capable of bluffing.
3.) B/F against said villain is nor desirable.

Check/call. Can't really find a fold against this guy.

And slim above is correct. If you are comfortable after the Jd against him, I would be tempted to check turn and see if he blasts into us.

Check call the turn very reluctantly then quickly check the river to induce.

Well.. the turn is one of the worst cards in the deck and the river isn’t particularly favorable either-although not terrible depending mostly on how wide he is r/c pre and a little on how wide he calls flop.

Even taking into account the player profile, you’re going to have a hard time finding enough bluffs (given preflop r/c and flop call) to justify committing too much money otr once almost everything gets there, including top pair pairing.

I’d c/eval leaning toward c/f unless I pick up something. He’s not going to be betting worse for value here either which is always problematic with a bluffcatcher.

If you've seen any of his bluffs, what type of sizing did he use?

As played, I'd X/eval river. His tanking OTT could mean a raise was contemplated, but you would know more.

Turn - I'd lean toward a X/C, then X/F river. Value range seems pretty thin, letting him bluff the weaker part of his range might be EV+.

If villain is very aggro. Why not leave his range wide open and check/call turn.

Betting just narrows the range.

Can’t we play a range check on that turn card? Especially versus described villain who seems likely to value bet a good chunk of hands we want calling anyway? Also betting the draws that would call.

Is he the type who will raise top pair on the flop?

i like a check on the turn , worst turn card for you, harder to get value at this point from worse

AP i would not shove the river, if you are going for value it should be a very small bet given the board texture

vs this player type maybe checking to induce river is best

I think that you have to check the turn. The Jd is a terrible card to come. Better to check and call a reasonable bet against this player.

I hate a shove here. You're never getting a better hand to fold. What hands will call you that you beat? Better to check and bluffcatch, depnding on the bet size.

Yegor told me he checked river, villain shoved rather quickly. Eventually Yegor called and villain has A5o and Yegor is good.
