5/5/10 (mandatory straddle)
Villain 1 (LJ, $3300): LAG/borderline maniac - PFR about 40% (any 2 suited basically), likes to squeeze pre, will triple barrel many runouts. Gotten caught a couple times jamming with busted draws recently.
Villain 2 (HJ, $2400): LAG - will open or call any 2 suited pre, plays draws aggressively
Hero (CO, $1900): Nitty, weak tight image - been card dead most of the session but doubled up a couple times recently
Villain 3 (BTN, $1700): semi-loose pre, high Cbet frequency but fit/fold postflop for the most part
OTTH
V1 and V2 limp
Hero with T
9
overlimps (should be raising with this hand, not sure why I didn't)
V3 raises to 60, V1, V2, and hero all call
Flop [$260]: 8
6
5
V1, V2, and Hero check (usually would put in a bet here but was confident V3 would take a stab at it)
V3 bets 125, V1 and V2 call
Hero check-raises to 500
V3, V1 tank fold
V2 backraises all-in for 1800 more
Hero folds
Pretty clear fold at the end, as I don't see V3 ever taking this line as a bluff but a couple questions:
(1) Check-raise and XR sizing reasonable on the flop?
(2) Do you guys feel like playing low/middling SCs is massively -EV? I've started to notice that the pots I do win with these hands are small, but when I get overflushed I usually tend to get stacked or lose much more than I'm winning, especially since I start playing them more when I build up a 150+BB stack.
