1/2 game I bought in max 500. I’m relatively new to table. Pretty average line up nobody seems too scary. Lots of limping and typical 1/2 play. I’m playing very tight as usual and aggressive when I have it. Only been at this table no more than 30 minutes or so. Hand was from a year ago so bear with me on the exact details. I tend to bounce around tables here to try to get a Jesus seat next to a loose passive drunk which is pretty sure the reason I’m at this specific table.
I’m in very very late position (co or button if I recall correctly) with A
6
and raise a LP limper to 8 preflop.
Both of the blinds call. BB is Middle age guy playing kinda loose mostly passive haven’t seen him get out of line really in the short time I’ve been there. Wearing collar button up shirt if I recall correctly idk not that it matters but visually seems like someone who isn’t a complete bum. Seemed relatively competent from the little bit of time I’ve been at same table. I don’t remember much about small blind TBH. Seemed like average loose passive 1/2 playa.
Limper calls. Four to flop 32 in middle (minus rake so probably closer to 29-30)
Flop is pretty decent
2
5
8
Checks to me I bet 23 Jordan both blinds call limper folds.
Turn is almost perfect 8
Approx 100 in middle at this point.
Check to me I bet 69. SB calls and BB instantly shoved all in for approx 400 total.
SB has less. Probably another 100-150 ish behind and seems relatively interested in putting the rest of his stack in as I’m eyeing him down while it’s still my action. If SB has me beat with a trapped boat and I have BB in bad shape there’s still a good size side pot to play for to break even or maybe even squeeze a tiny profit from. But biggest concern is BB having me dead. Seems kinda suicidal play if I were in his shoes to do that with less than a boat but I’m a nit and I’m sure other people are happy to ship a J hi or Q or K high flush in that spot given stack sizes.
If I call and am behind I’m dead. If I’m ahead I’m either got them dead with lower flush or drawing thin with trips.
Slowplayed set turned into boats seem possible I guess but not many combos. The two pair combos are not exactly likely given the raggedness of it but it’s 1/2 lol and I’ve seen people call all types of raises with junk cards just to see “cheap flops”. Anyways I wish I could give more detail about reads etc but I’ve been inactive on these forums for years and never wrote down the exact details of the hand at the time and kinda just going off memory. I’m sure people will berate about preflop but honestly at 1/2 with mostly droolers and I’ve had decade plus of experience doing well in cash games online and live I feel very comfortable ISOing fish with semi strong nut makable hands in position.
