Let me preface this by saying that I realize how spewy this hand looks haha. I still thought the final decision was interesting enough to post.

V1: tight old man ($500)

V2: young reg who I have played with a reasonable amount. He is somewhat of a thinking player but unsure if he is very good. ($800)

Hero: I haven't been at the table too long for this session but I have played with 5-6 of the players before. My image is typically active & aggressive though I come off as laggier than I really am like you are about to see haha. ($675)

Folds to Hero utg+1 who opens to $20 with with 2s2c. V1 calls in MP, V2 calls in HJ, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls. And we go 7-way to the flop.

Flop ($134): td6d4s
I check planning to fold. V1 leads $30, V2 calls, everyone calls but the Big Blind and it is back to me. With so much money in the pot and a lot of weak calls, I decide to make a move. I raise to $180. V1 folds, V2 snap calls, all others fold.

Turn ($614): 7d

I decide that he would have jammed the flop with most sets/two pair so I want to make a play at the pot. I should have shoved but instead I bet $300 rather quickly. He shoves all in and I only have 175 left. I tank because I'm awful and I wanted to find a way to call the last $175 into $1200.

Pretend you inexplicably got to this point in the hand. Can we find a call or do we have to fold?

Wow, talk about spew haha. Dw, we all have our blow-up hands.

Flop is an easy fold with 6 callers/people interested in the pot.

Turn is another fold.

It's still a fold at this point. You are probably completely dead. I wouldn't mind the raise on the flop as no one is showing too much strength but there are simply too many people in there for it to work. If it was a 3 or 4 way pot a raise could maybe get the folds. You could raise to 400 on the flop and you'd still be likely to get a call from a someone with a flush draw because "there is so much in the pot" and then they would be committed to calling your turn shove.

Raising with air on the flop can work if no one is showing strength but it is basically never going to work in this spot (too many people and the flush draw).

Still a river fold

What are you proposing he snap-called with on the flop that doesn't have you dead or drawing to 1 out?

He'd have to have A5, which makes 0 sense on the flop. Only other hand is 52o which is ridiculous too and you have two of the 2s.

A takeaway from this hand is to make bluffs when you actually have a hand that can justify bluffing, not complete air. When you get into the realm of bluffing with complete air, you're going to be bluffing WAYYY too much.

Makes sense, bet the flush/gutter completing turn once you rule out sets and 2p otf. I see, so no straights, no flushes, no sets, no 2p, so you're chop blocking! I hope he folded 22 face up, nh.

There is not an easier flop decision in all forms of poker.

This hand looks like a joke but I suppose it's not. It was played for real cash and the entire 500-600 got in the middle in a volume pot. My brain stop working when I see the flop action. I don't see any positive point to even comment what to do or not because nothing it's gonna make any difference. There's no upside of this situation. If you should have shoved OTT or call now OTR ... wtf? --

If I ever get so deep into a hand with so much action, I know for sure that my day work for today it's over because I have at least won one opponent's big stack. Tomorrow I'll be back guys ...I will bring your money back. Don't you worry ..., See you guys! ... wtf! ... (LOL). Man..., they get mad on me. They think I hit and run. But I'm not. I'm just tired of seeing cards for 5-6 hours. I cannot play over 5 maybe 6 hours max every day of the week and not getting burned out. I'm a human too .. wtf!

See how my avatar picture looks like? - Well, guess what? That's my real mug face. See what happen if playing and focusing so much every day on the goddamned cards? - That's why I'm folding so much to preserve my good look. (LOL)

Oh, by the way, is this dude you? - I think is you in action. I remember seeing you at the Rio (see the video =========> 22,32,22,32,K8,22,32,32,32)
