Live 2/5. 7-handed. Effective stacks are about 200BB.
Villain 1 is a straight-forward Asian who sometimes can't fold one-pair hands, but will take pot-control lines against someone like me who is perceived as solid and tricky. Villain 2 is an erratic black guy who I can tell plays bad, but I haven't figured out what his ranges look like.
Villain 1 opens to 20 in the CO. He will open-limp with weaker hands, so a raise denotes some strength. I just call OTB with Q
T
. Villain 2 in SB calls. BB also calls. This is an unsurprising outcome to me.
Flop is T
8
3
(pot=80), giving hero TP with a backdoor straight flush draw. Checked to V1, who bets 40. Hero calls. SB calls. BB folds.
Turn is 3
(pot=200), pairing the board and giving hero a flush draw. V2 leads out for 165. I think he bets out with hands that are improved by the turn, so his likely range is 3x hands and diamond draws. He's loose enough to have called the flop with a hand like A
9
. V1 thinks about it and makes the call. I think his range here is something like 88/TT/AA-JJ and two big clubs. I don't think he c-bets without at least a pair or flush draw on the flop with three callers and he wouldn't open-raise preflop with hands that flop a straight draw.
Hero insta-folds. I think V1 is too sticky with his overpair and V2 has too many trips in his range to turn my hand into a bluff. I don't think I make enough on the river if I improve to give me the implied odds to justify a call. I don't think the table dynamics give me the opportunity to turn my hand into a bluff on the river because V2 is likely to bet around half pot on rivers that don't improve me.
