First Hand:
V1 is older lady, very weak calling station. Any touch, any draw, for any amount. Exceptionally spewy. Impossible to overstate. Truly atrocious player.
V2 is middle-aged guy who seems otherwise pretty solid, but looks to hit in big pots without correct prices. He recently flatted a big-ish 3 bet from V3 (60-70?) with 8
9
and like $250 behind. Flopped trips and took down a decent pot on a 599T board (ended on turn). V3 didn't show down, but claimed he had overcards, which is plausible and I believe him.
V1 has ~$275, V2 has ~$350, V3 has ~$900, I have ~$600
EP raises to $10, V2 calls from MP, V3 calls from the button, I 3-bet to $50 (sizing?) from the SB with A
K
, V1 cold-calls from the BB, EP folds, and V2 and V3 call.
(Pot $210) Flop comes K
4
2
. I c-bet for $140 (sizing?), V1 snap shoves for her last $225, V2 does a deep sigh, mutters about needing to go home, and shoves for $297. V3 hates to fold, but does. V2's speech is really bad for me, I think, and its the only thing that gave me pause, but getting ($872 pot) 6-1 I have to call, right?
Hand 2 is about 90 minutes later, V4 has ~ $400, V5 has ~$450, ~V3 has $900, I cover.
Straddled by V3 to $4, I pick up Q
Q
UTG. Open to $20, get called by a nit UTG+1 (V4), and another unknown (V5). V3 flings out 4 greens to make it $104.
V3 is younger guy, very aggressive player. We have a little bit of history, I've picked him off on the river with bluffcatchers a few times now (not today), so he seems to have slowed down a little against me specifically, but runs over the rest of the table usually with big 2nd and 3rd barrels against scared money nits. Definitely a winner in the game.
V4 is super nitty, and after I tank for like 15 seconds both he and V5 look done with the hand.
I'm not sure what to do here. Folding seems out of the question, I'm pretty sure I'm ahead of his range here but if I call, I'll be guessing on any board with overcards. So I think a 4-bet seems right, but not sure of the amount, or a plan for rest of hand...
