I would like to mention a few things:
1. Heed johnnyBuz's advice on bet sizing for reasons noted, unless, as Thamel18 mentioned, you are trying to stack your V. However, I would think that's highly improbable on the way this board ran out.
2. I would include, as Thamel18 noted, that more info on the V[s] previous HH would be very helpful. I want to give anyone interested in responding, as much info as possible that would give them a sense of being at the table.
3. I would be more accurate as to who called preflop. It would be nice to know if the other 2 players who called pre were the 1st 2 players on your left, or the CO & Button.
4. Be more accurate on pot size. There was actually only $36 in the pot, since MDL rakes $2 for the BBJ & UTG acted 1st, so the blinds obviously folded. $13*3 = $39 + 3 in blinds = $42 - 4 - 2 = $36. That is, unless you failed to mention one of the blinds called & then checked the flop to the UTG?
5.
Do not give results in your OP! It will skew responses sometimes, although I do not believe that to be the case here.
6. With $36 in the pot OTF & 1/2 PSB being $18 & $2 more to be raked, I'd bet $20-$25, which is what I'd fire if the flop warranted a c-bet.
7. Would be nice to know if the deuce OTT completed the rainbow. Did it put two to a flush on board & V have A4s in that suit? When you post the board, you can use the suits listed below the box you post in that has the various emojis.
Then you could post: I have A
Q
; Turn brings A
2
3
2
. Then we know the A high flush draws are not possible. But if it's the 2
, it is possible V has flush draw & V may have paid $75 looking for a 4, 5, or any
.
He still wouldn't be getting the right price with what he believes is 16 outs, since he would
never discount them
, but his play would be more in line with a typical fish, rather than a full blown Donk.
However, none of this analysis is going to be posted, because you posted the complete runout & results of the hand, so it was unnecessary, with your post being really nothing more than bad beat story, with little analysis to be had by your respondents.
