1/3 NL, 10 handed
My great table broke, and I moved to the better looking one of the two remaining ones. I played a single hand at that table when 2 of the best players came from the other table to sit down with me, where I then changed immediately to the other table. So table hopping / bumhunting image for anyone paying attention.
I come to the table with $1700 (I've been getting hit with the deck vs morons, a great combination) and I'm the big stack. The regs at the table see me as a winning player (probably nitty postflop), the non-regs don't have a clue.
V1: $800. Asian 40ish woman. She's a reg who attempts to table select and even casino select (she'll often leave this casino and go to one 15 minutes a way if she feels the action is better). We don't have much history against one another. The previous session I raise a big pair in EP, get way too many callers (including her), I flop an overpair on a flush draw board, I bet half pot into the world, she shoves with her draw, I call cuz I feel committed against her stack (she put in 10% of it preflop, not horrendous given there were 4 callers in front of her and she was closing the action), I hold and stack her. She's probably a winning a player, probably sees me as nitty postflop player, and could possibly attempt to get me off a hand. Definitely not a moron. Can definitely be aggressive, although I can't say I've seen huge bluffs from her on later streets.
V2: $115. Clueless noob 50ish man who I've never seen before. He keeps buying in for $100-$150 at a time and getting stacked. TP- is the the nuts for this guy.
Preflop (10 players): Hero is LP with 7
6
UTG straddles to $6, a call, V1 calls, V2 calls, I call, BB calls, straddle checks
[I think preflop is standard. Low fold equity at this table and I don't think I should be attempting to iso V1 who has 20bbs effective with 7 high.]
Flop (6 players, $35): A
9
8
checks to V1 who looks like she wants to bet but checks, V2 bets $30, I miss-eyeball V2s stack and raise to $100 (I'm attempting to put him all-in), folds to V1 who tank calls, V2 shoves in the rest of his chips for all-in, I call (my only option), V1 calls
[I actually think this is a mistake on my part. Even though I have a monster draw, I'm rarely getting fishy V2 to fold, so I think I should just flat and perhaps invite others along. When V1 coldcalls, alarm bells are going off. I think it's too much for her to call with just a flush draw, although I guess she could have pair + draw. It's possible she has two pair. I doubt she has a set because I think she would reraise this board, I don't think she is MUBSy enough to believe 88 wouldn't be good enough here even though she is $800 deep. She never just has an A here, imo.]
Turn (3 players, 1 whose is all-in, ~$375): 3
V1 donks $200 (leaving $480 behind), Hero...
[Wtf? I doubt she is putting me on a flush draw. Is she setting her own price with her two pair / wtf set? Or does she have the flush? Or semi bluffing with a straight draw + flush draw? But why bluff into a 0 side pot? Do I somehow get out now? Do I just call and see what happens on the river? Or get it in? I called. Meh?]
River (3 players, 1 all-in, $775) 2
V1 bets $200 (leaving $280 behind), Hero...
[Again, I doubt she has me on a flush. Do I ship it in for value knowing that I just don't think she can fold two pair at this point? And I can't fold getting these odds, right?]
