£1-£1 in Manchester, UK. Game plays semi-deep, with 50% of hands straddled.

Hero - Mid 30's white guy. Probably viewed as TAG. Doesn't play too many speculative hands pre, fires barrels post. Recently lost a 275bb pot in a flush vs flush scenario but should have been viewed as taking it well.

Villain - Reg in the game (knows other players etc.) Late 20's. Seems to have played fairly straightforward. Hero hasn't noticed villain getting into many postflop spots.

Only hand between H+V. Hero calls UTG raise on BTN with 2 callers in between, V calls in BB. Checked to hero who bets 20bb on J62. Villain calls and then check folds after 45s to 40bb on A turn.

Onto the hand...

Hero (~£380) straddles to £2, villain (~£250) makes it £7 in HJ (8 handed), CO & BTN call. Folds to me and I make it £37 with KK. Villain thinks for 10-15s and calls, others fold. This is my first 3bet in quite a while.

Flop (£90): K93 I bet £40, villain thinks around 20s and calls.

Turn (£170): 4 I go for over optimistic CRAI, villain checks behind quite quickly.

River (£170): 6 I grab chips without counting and bet £90. Villain shoves after 5-10s. I asked the dealer for a count and V quickly tells me it's £151 total. Dealer counts it down and it's actually £176, so £86 more to call. Player seemed to have genuinely thought he had £151.

Apologies if this is a snap call to most. I spent quite a while thinking about it so thought it was worth posting.

You have to call, sorry he had the flush.

bet a bit more on flop and shove turn. ez game. what exactly are you hoping he bets on the turn? you got almost all the kings

Completely agree, turn was a shocker. I got greedy and wanted to get all the chips in there with a CR. I thought V was a bit deeper. I should have bet flop and shoved turn but I wasn't aware enough of stack sizes.

Fold.
