Game: 3/5 $500 max buyin but stacks are much bigger for the most part. The table is full of either gigantic maniacs or gigantic calling stations. Only one other solid player at the table, who is not involved in this hand.
Hero: 25 male, playing TAG. Has not been playing too many hands, but has always shown down solid hands. Stack has bounced around from $700 to $1500. Current stack $1000
V1: 30 male, maniac. Came to the table with $2500. Lost half of that by running two three-barrel overbet bluffs against a gigantic station (which makes me think he is unaware of player image). Raising probably 40% of hands pre. Stack $1250
V2: 30 male, even bigger maniac, and extremely drunk. Lost his $500 stack 5 times in a row by raising to $70 blind multiple times and getting called. Will overbet pot any time he senses weakness, regardless of his holdings. Recently rebought for $500, then played a hand where he cold called a 4bet pre with k8o, called an allin on a T32r flop and turned a K vs another V's QQ. Has ran like god since. Stack $3000
V3: 60 male, huge calling station. Recently sat down at table. He raised pre with 89s, then called a 3bet from an unknown V who just sat down (along with 3 other cold callers). The 3better shipped a KJ8r flop into 4 people, and V3 called. V3 won vs the 3better's A2dd. Stack $900
The hand:
Pre: V1 raises to $20 UTG, V2 calls UTG+1. Hero sees J
J
in HJ and calls (my reasoning is I don't want to play a big pot with a vulnerable hand just yet 200bb deep vs 2 maniacs who will always call my 3bet). V3 calls. Irrelevant V4 calls.
Flop ($100): 97
5
V1 bets $40. V2 calls. H raises to $165. V3 flats. V4 folds. V1 flats. V2 folds.
Turn ($595): 9753
V1 announces "$500", essentially putting me and V3 allin. Hero?
