Hi everyone,

We’re playing 1/2 ($200 cap).

Main Villain: UTG, $200~. Drunk fish on tilt. In for several hundred I believe. Has went all in blind twice in the last two orbits and won both times. The best hand he hand was 87s. Up to about $200 from $50. Was playing fine previously.

Hero: LJ. $675~. Young Kid, LAG image. 40/20. 8 hours in. Running well but made a few tough folds that I believe were correct to start the session. Made me a ton in EV and things have turned around in the past few hours.

OTTH:
UTG straddle $4. 2 limpers. Hero raises to $17 (missing the straddle oops) with JdJh in MP. Short stack in LP shoves for $40. UTG calls relatively quickly. He’s looked at his hand. Folds to hero. Your play?

Thanks!

I would possibly flat here with AA/KK and GII on all flops vs described V but JJ is just too vulnerable to “trap with” and also loses value from inferior hands like underpairs and connectors that our V may gambool with preflop but can’t continue with on overcard flops.

I make it $100 even and hope he shoves. I feel like he is more likely to shove over this than call a shove. I wouldn’t feel too bad if he folds with a decent pot HU with wide-range shorty and dead money.

I don’t really see the value in doing anything other than shoving in this spot. Do we really want to make it $100 and fold an AQ4 flop or something?

100% just shipping here and happily riding the variance train.

With a little >$100 in the pot and the main V left with $160, AI.

I would shove here with all hands I’m continuing with, JJ included. Effective stacks are too short for anything else

This is not a PAHWM. This is a shove.

LOL, pretty much

Easy ship. He could fold KQs, AQ which is a good result for us.

Play a super straight forward PF street with me

I'm trying to figure out why OP thinks this hand is thread-worthy.

Perhaps its more interesting if you make the wrong decision pre and call.

OK, OP, you call, and flop is...

Thanks everyone. I’m surprised that everyone is shoving, maybe my thought process is flawed?

Against a drunk fish on tilt, I was thinking a flat was best because I wanted to give him a chance to catch up (flop a draw or pair) with all the suited junk he has in his range (96s, 53s etc.) given that he’s extremely wide here. I also thought it would be good to give him the opportunity to spazz out with air OTF, given that I was IP.

Hero flats.

Flop ($120) Td7c8d. UTG leads $20. Hero?

JJ is going to put you in a lot of tough spots just flatting. I think you could consider a flat with AA or KK.

As for flop, shove now, given you only have barely over a PSB effective, and any meaningful raise is committing anyway, but I'm guessing you didn't do that either given this is PAHWM...

Trivial rip pre is trivial. We have ~$100 in the pot with $160 behind, are way ahead of main villain's range, villain as described isn't folding just about anything. Trapping is lol FPS.

AP well we trapped and scored an overpair + gut shot so I see no reason to continue trapping. Rip pls.

Shove pf.

As played, shove flop.

Going to assume OP called the flop bet, an overcard came on the turn and is facing a bet.

I still prefer a shove pre, but shove flop as played. We have exactly a pot-sized raise and there are plenty of worse pairs and draws to get value from. If he folds any over cards that have 3-6 outs against us, so be it...is he really going to keep firing with A/K/Q-high in a protected pot?

If we just call, pot is 160 and we have 140 behind. Which turn cards would we feel good about folding to a second barrel? Or which of V’s hands that would fold to our raise on the flop now call a turn jam?

OK OP, no point stringing this out. I assume you called. Turn?

Thanks guys.

Hero just calls again.

Turn ($160) Td-7c-8d-3x . UTG checks. Hero?

p.s. It's about to get worse... I suck.

Pre is a rip, flop is a rip, turn is still a rip.

+1

Let me guess, hero checks behind. OK what's river (hoping for 9d) ...let's put this one to bed.

I feel like a parachutist trainer screaming at a newbie in freefall who froze "Rip. Rip! RIP IT NOW!!!"

Thanks everyone. Hero checks back turn, hoping he takes a big stab on the river.


River ($160) Td-7c—8d-3x-Qx No available flushes. UTG checks. Sizing?

The most interesting street.

If he has a missed draw, it probably doesn't matter, he's folding any size. Do we think say something like T9 would call a 1/3 size pot bet and not a PSB?

I find that a lot of players are relatively inelastic to size so probably just shove, and hope he thinks we're FoS and call us off with some pair.

As much as I would like to say shove pre shove flop shove turn shove river (what even is this hand), I think the play here is bet one $5 chip to induce/call off.
