This is live $1-$2 NLHE, ten handed. What do you think of my play here and would you have done it differently?
1. V1 is a mega fish who is super passive and never bets until the river and only bets when he has a monster but always calls massive bets even with air until the turn or river then will give up on a pot and fold to a large bet if he still has air.
2. V2 is a thinking reg who is quite bad. He comes up with fancy plays for bad reasons and usually gets stacked before the end of the night and goes home.
3. Effective stacks, $200.
Hand: Hero is in MP with
J J.
V1 calls from UTG.
V2 calls from UTG+2.
Hero raises to $11 from UTG+3.
Folds around to V1 who calls $11.
V2 appears frustrated by Hero who has had cards to raise almost every time V2 has limped, and stares Hero down, then raises to $25 and Hero deduces that V2 doesn't seem to have a very strong hand.
Hero decides to 4bet for value against V1 as V1 almost never folds preflop and Hero knows that if V2 5bets then Hero can fold but if V2 calls then Hero is ahead.
Hero raises to $62.
V1 instacalls.
V2 boggles at V1 for calling even though this is super standard for V1.
V2 tanks and calls.
Flop ($189):
T 7 3
V1 checks.
V2 checks.
Hero has $140 behind and pot is $189.
Hero knows V1 will call with any T, any
, 98 and sometimes a 7.
Hero also knows that V2 will probably call only with a high
or 2
.
Hero shoves.
