V1: $120 stack - Sticky fish, will chase backdoors and won't fold pairs/gutshots. Hits top pairs and just goes with it. Playing every pot.
V2: $300 stack - Donkey type, opened A7o utg one hand and triple barreled on KQJr board into KQ in a 4waypot. Limps 94o on the button. Playing almost every pot.
Hero: $600+ with an extremely tight image, playing straight up top 15% of starting hands, wont even complete in the sb in a limped pot with ATo/KJo as the tables limping range consists of AQs/JJ. Can't squeeze light in later position as hands are getting to showdown way too often.
OTTH: V1 & V2 limped UTG & UTG +1 and i look down at A♣A♠, usually would make it closer to the 5x+(1x for every limper) $14 range but against these 2 i don't mind making it bigger pre to extract value while i know i'm ahead so i make it $25 in the CO.
Flop is Q♣J♣4♣ (Pot: $78)
V1 leads $30 and V2 calls and when i concentrated on V1 & V2's reaction to the flop i feel V2 has a monster(2 pair plus) as he did the full eyeroll/sigh when the flop comes out so i just flat. Usually overpair with the nut flush draw i'm more than happy to rip it in.
Turn comes 7
(Pot: $168)
V1 continues for $30 and V2 once again flats and Hero just takes the good pot odds and read of V2's hand strength and just flat. My logic: If im in front, villains are drawing thin. If im behind im getting great odds to catch up.
River comes 3♠, V1 jams for $35, V2 flats and Hero makes a snap call getting like 8:1.
Will post results later, but how does everyone feel about the small ball approach to this hand?
