First post on here, please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.

Hero(CO): reg, seen as a relatively tight player by most
Definetly capable of mixing it up as well


Villain 1(button): aggro reg, capable of anything, winning player. Seen him run big bluffs, have recently been owning him though, caught him twice on river bluffs recently.

Villain 2(SB): loose weak reg, checks calls a lot of stronger holdings as well as draws. Can be playing anything pre really.


Hero(CO)(550): opens for $20 with Acqs

Both villains flat V1(950)&V2(400ish)

Flop:Ad5c4c

V2 checks

Hero leads for $40

V1&2 both flat.

Turn:6c

Hero checks

V1(button)makes it $120 v2(SB)calls

Hero calls(CO)

River: 5d

V2 checks, hero checks

V1: slight tank, then makes it 375.
V2 tank folds

Hero?

V2 would probably raisie the flop with a lot of draws, Also with most of his strong holdings. This was my initial red flag to his style of play, makes it a lot harder for him to have boats or flushes.I also block the nut flush

Does V1 3 bet wide from the button? Kinda relevant as to whether the Ac is a good/bad card to have in this spot, a lot of Axc I would expect the described V to 3 bet from the button vs a CO open.

Depending on above info as played I think you should call with AK/AQ with K/Q club combos because you block a lot of the K/Qxc combos he can have when calling on the button, there are a lot of combos there, Kc is the best card to call with. It sucks and you're probably beat here quite often, but top pair is all you can really have when you take this line.

I like betting flop & turn and check/eval river more than checking turn and river. Against this guy you might have to check/call some weaker flushes on the river to protect your range rather than just bet/bet/bet when you have a flush every time. I also like smaller c bet size on the flop to avoid bloating the pot quite as much vs a guy who is going to make moves on you.

Also seat change asap, if not to another table at least get away from this guy's immediate right.

Don't have a huge sample with V1 hasn't been 3betting a ton OTB

Also with a turn bet what would you do facing a raise?

Probably in the minority on this board but depending on the odds I'm getting I probably end up getting it in vs the described villain if I face a reraise on the turn. You have outs to the nuts, AK/AQ + nut flush draw are among the best hands to call.

It's 1 buy in at the end of the day, sometimes you're going to get stacked. I think the way you played this hand is going to get you pounded because your hand is almost face up when it checks to him on the river, you cannot have a full house or a flush, and top pair is obviously going to have a difficult time calling a bet.

I'd barrel turn because you hold the Ac and if they are both drawing to a flush then everyone is eyeballing who is drawing to the nut flush, but they both call your flop bet anyway so at least one of them is drawing super light, possibly both. On river I think you can go ahead and fold because now that they have both given further action I think it really is highly likely one of them has a flush at this point. The tank bet kinda indicates he's not thrilled about value betting into 2 players with a non-nut flush but he also cant check it either.

Yeah I probably bet the turn too with A. AP, I think you have to fold the river, especially given it was 3 way when he bet.
