Info on V: late 30s reg apparently played full time for 5+ years. Pretty aggressive and actually pretty hard to read in general. From what I have seen he balances his range in different spots fairly well. Recently had a hand where I opened KK utg he flats btn behind another call in mp. Flop comes j52r I bet he calls. Turn is 9 to complete rainbow and I bet again. River K I jam for around 70% pot and he snaps with 55 for the flopped set and got kinda tilty when I flipped my hand.

OTTH:

£1/£1 Hero ~£300, V covers

Utg straddle to 2, hero has 9d9c and opens to 8 and V flats sb, Bb folds and straddle calls.
Flop (25) 9h3s2h. Hero bets 17, V calls and straddle folds. Turn (59) Jh, V leads 40, hero calls. River Qh so the final board is 9h3s2h Jh Qh (139). V bets 87.

Hero...??

I would have raised turn. Now I would fold.

Fold. What was your plan when flatting the turn?

meh. those two bets are pretty valuish. I would fold.

I was planning to call turn and call on non heart rivers(is that too nitty? I think he leads smaller flushes ott a lot of the time), and on a heart river I would evaluate sizing. This looked like value a lot to me.

Does his line not look a bit bluffy? I'm assuming he's leading his smaller flushes ott to not give me a chance to redraw and checking them otr since the way it played I can have a lot more ah/kh. I'm guessing his standard play for having the nuts/2nd nuts ott would be to either x/r, and when it goes x,x ott bet like 80% pot otr instead of leading turn and river with his higher less vulnerable flushes. I also doubt he ever plays anything else this way for value so it basically ah/kh(b/f?) or air/hand turned into bluff.

Only AhXx combo I can really see him doing this with is Ah5x

And if he 3b ships?

Call 3b ship
