Well, I think it's safe to say that V3 can be doing this with a lot of hands.
He has had relative position the whole time and has enjoyed the benefits of getting correct pot odds to call with almost any two.
I agree with other posters that you should have bet your JJ preflop. (BTW - do you have the J
?) Especially if it would have had you going HU against a drooler.
Okay - back to the lecture at hand...
After V3 shoves - pot is like $550 - you've got 200 or so behind... so if you shove, you're not getting V2 to fold a flush draw. So you've got to be concerned about that.
Based on the SB's bet line - my guess is he's in a comfortable position with a hand that has a lot of outs. A
9
or J
T
seem the most likely... (unless we have the J
)...or he may have any X
9
.
Other possibilities are 89, 22 and 44 - and V3 wants to fold out/make heart draws pay.
Anything else that V3 holds would spewing and you said V3 "plays pretty straight forward and doesn't do anything crazy."
Based on this, you're either way ahead - but have to fade 9-17 outs. Or you're way behind and have 2 outs.
You're getting nearly 3:1 on you money... more if V2 calls.
If it were me, unless I'm certain V3 has the nuts, I think I have to call here... but no fist pump.
