Ok so this is my first post so may not be writing up correctly but yea forgive me if i get it wrong/ do it ******edly.

Playing on a very loose table 11 blinds, have been at the table for about 3.5 hours and played about 4 hands but haven't really had anything to play with all night. the table generally is v fishy, with bet sizing very weird at times and most bets being called down and showdown occurred a lot.

History: v1 doesn't have too much idea what hes doing. saw him open raise in mp with k4 s and hit flush on flop doubling up, basically he raises any k a etc...

v2. early 20s guy, not too competent, has a large range of open raising hands, saw him call £40 on a river with pair of aces 6 kicker (complete fish).

Hand:

v1- about £ 180
v2 about £ 130
hero -£ 65

v1 utg plus 1 raises £4 folds to co plus 1 who calls, Hero calls on bb with kq.

FLOP: 7 K Q rainbow (£13)

v1 bets £4, v2 rr 14, hero shove for £61 more.
v1 calls, hero calls. (pot £196)

TURN: 2

v1 shoves, v2 call.

River A.

Can you guys give me some idea ov how i played this etc will let you know results in a bit

thanks

check out the sticky in the forum to get a better idea of how to organize your and post hand histories, your is a bit hard to read

what are the stakes? is it 1/1, or 1/2?

youre in BB, but your hh says that v1 bet first.. im assuming you checked and were planning on check raising?

imo you played it fine, sucks if your opponent got lucky on you, but with your stack size you def want to get as much in as quickly as possible (on the flop or turn)

you should probably spend less time calling everyone at the table that isn't you terrible. it distracts from, you know, thinking. "he sucks" isn't much information. if he does suck, say why and apply it to the hand. "call 40 on a river with a pair of aces 6 kicker" is meaningless without context. you let yourself off the hook by writing everyone off as an idiot and not going any deeper than that.

that said, we don't really need any information for this hand. the hand is whatever. you're not going to fold top 2 so the only question is the best way to get it in and that's pretty whatever too. sorry you got unlucky (I'm assuming you got unlucky).

double edit: sorry if this comes off as disproportionate railing on you. it's just that a majority of the recent threads I've read have insulted villains' competencies without saying why and it's just petty and unproductive.

[x] You put all of your money into the pot, on the flop.
[x] When you were winning.
[x] And the villain called. When he was losing.
[x] And he put all of his money in there when he had 20% or less equity in the pot.
[x] You got out drawn.
[x] You played it fine.

[] Please take the time to go read some of the other posts on this forum. Read the stickies. Read other threads. Think about why you do what you do.
When you're reading a thread, ask you self, is this how I would play? Would I do something different? If you would, feel free to ask about it. Input your comments. As you play more, you will find your self in situations that you once didn't know how to analyze. And now you do. This is when you know you are learning.
