1/3 $200 cap, Saturday.
I have a major problem playing deep stacked poker, the problem is, I am not very good at it! :P
I don't have a problem playing up to 100-150BB deep, but after being deeper, I struggle with multiple streets.
Same villain as in this game:

Hero: Young Asian, playing very tight today, has shown down only big hands, hasn't been caught bluffing, just taking players around the table to value town with hands. ($1100ish) - MP
Villain 1: Mid 20s guy, seems to be a reg because he knows quite a few people around the room, on his 3rd buy in. He plays a very aggressive style, I let him represent a straight on a 4 card straight board and called down with KK and won a big pot. - Would say loose aggressive, plays a lot of hands, I'd say 33%+ VPIP, but not sure if a good LAG, but is definitely one of the better players at the table.... Table is super soft tho. He is UTG+1. ($800)
V2: Russian lady, really bad throw money preflop in whilst min buying $50 and praying for the best type of player - $40
V3: Young indian kid, seems to be one of those players who is keen for the game, but has read/watched too much poker and not played enough. Bought in for $200 but has $65 left.
UTG blind raises UTG to $8.
V1 - UTG+1 blind re-raises to $17.
V2 - calls
I look down at A
J
, I am actually not a very big fan of this hand against V1 if he calls because we're like 266BBs deep and I would be lost on how to play this hand on multiple streets. Despite this, I raise to $45.
V3 calls and says he calls because he is short stacked. Folds around to V1 who tank calls (like 20 seconds tanking). V2 calls as well.
Main pot: 172
Side pot: 15
Flop: A Q 3 rainbow
I know I should be miles ahead of V2 and V3 and should be ahead of V1 but am not entirely sure what he would call me with, with us both being so deep.
V1 checks, I bet $75, V3 calls, V2 tank calls. (Tanked for like a minute)
Turn: T completing the rainbow.
V1 checks, Hero?
Reasons to bet: I can get value from any A that I am beating, and prob can get value from some Queens...
Reasons to check: - Pot Control
-gives him a chance to bluff the river
I still think I am most likely ahead, but am worried about his ability to C/r with draws or equity on this turn, because I think he would be able to....
