1/2 in the casino, Friday night, full table
V in CO (has me covered): mid 30’s male, second most aggressive player at the table besides me. I’d say he’s LAG, with leaks. Calls too much with suited trash pre. Saw him call a cbet on the flop with one over and a weak kicker. He’s here to gamble basically.
Hero in SB ($350): mid 20’s male, playing TAG. Only hand I can remember showing down so far is Aces. Another v (not the one in question here) donked turn, I called him down on the river and my aces were good. Been the most aggressive player at the table, c-betting most flops and taking them down.
Limper in middle position, V limps in CO, Hero in the SB looks down at 9
9
. I make it $15 to go, limper in MP folds and V in CO calls.
Flop ($34) is K
K
9
I bet $25…
Looking back on the hand now I realize what a stupid play this was. But in the heat of the moment I was not thinking properly. My question is how much EV did I lose here?
Also, if I had not been a complete moron and checked the flop, what is the best line going forward? For both V checking and betting on the flop.
