V in the hand is a MAWG who just took a rough beat and doubled up a fish an orbit ago.. There was a blind raise to $6, 5 calls, V made it $46 in BB with TT, only the blind-raiser (read fish) called (with Q6dd).. Flop was AT5dd and V checked to the fish who shoved $130 and V insta-called, only to see another diamond fall on an unpaired river.
V is now sitting on $180, the table is very passive/shallow/bad.
Hero has an ultra
OTTH:
5-6 limps incl V in CO, action checked by Hero in BB with J
T
At this moment, I'm praying not to flop a TP to avoid another OOP dilemma but look what happens.
Flop ($15): K
8
5
Hero bets $15 (murmuring OMG to myself), V calls
Turn ($45): T
Hero bets $40,
V starts picking and banging his chips onto other chips (the chip sound you know) like he's unhappy and then makes the call reluctantly
River ($125): 9
Hero bets $125 putting V all-in, V calls and tables A
3
I know this is a cooler, but could you have gotten away OTR because of V's hollywood OTT? I know the stacks are shallow but bet/fold $45 maybe? Or maybe even c/f given our image and his hollywood?
