Villain: Stack: $450, mid 30's hispanic male, definately a good tricky LAG. Very active and every pot preflop he would come in for a very sizable open. Would pounce on other players passive weakness. He bought in for $100(max buy in) and built it up to a $600 stack within an hour. One pot he lost he tried to bluff into the nuts on the river and insta mucked when other guy check raised him. Others, he just utilized pure aggression in position to apply too much pressure on opponents, who when tried to play back ended up running into this guy's big hands. I have a tough time ranging this type of opponent and getting a read off him. Well and truly a solid tricky player.
Hero: Stack: $550, mid 20's asian guy. TAG image at this point. Have not played a pot with villain yet prior to this pot in discussion, but observing carefully as his play style and stack size is a big threat. To the direct left of villain (thank god).
OTTH: Folds around to villain in the cutoff who opens for $15 (standard opening size for him without any limpers). Only noticed one orbit prior to this hand where Villain hasn't squeezed/3bet the cutoff. Hero looks down at Q
T
on the button and calls, Blinds folds and it's heads up the flop.
Pot($33) Flop: K
9
3
Villain cbets $20, Hero raises to $60. As Q high doesn't have much showdown value, trying to utilise some fold equity. Fully aware that by raising the cbet hero is opening himself up to a 3bet. Prepared to 4bet jam if that was the case, knowing villain can have worst flush draws, some overplayed 9x and air bluffs in his flop 3bet range, bad luck if i was to hypothetically run into the top of his range but K9/33/99 smacks my button calling range right on the nail, repping those hands hard. If i was to 4bet jam, a hand like AK/AA is going to have a tough time calling let alone KQ/KJ. As played though, Villain flats.
Pot($155) Turn: A
and Villain check calls hero's $110 bet.
Pot($375) River K
, Villain checks and Hero? Villain has $265 behind.
