Hand #1: Vacuum Scenario - Bold bluff?
Hero has just sat down on the table with $400 (100-400 buy in). Villain in this hand won the hand before with KK vs 88 on 9d6h5h 4d 2d after thinking for 10 seconds then calling just under 1/2 PSB shove on the turn and saying "that's a terrible turn card". He seems to be a bit on the conservative side of things post-flop from what we can tell. His stack size is now $550.
Hand:
Blinds post
Hero is dealt A
9
in MP and decides to post $4
UTG limps $4
UTG+1 folds
Hero checks option
UTG+3 folds
V in HJ raises to $20
CO and BTN Folds
SB folds
BB calls $20
UTG calls $20
Hero calls extra $16.
Flop ($82): K
8
3
All check to V who c-bets $40
BB and UTG folds
Hero contemplates check-raising and decides to call $40
Turn ($162) : 2
Hero?
Hand #2: Showdown hand in a tough spot OTR
Hand is involved with the same villain from hand 1 at the end. We also now know he has a selective hand selection preflop as well as a sort of fit or fold mentality post-flop. V2 is the original raiser in this hand who is playing tight (he checked back a flop HU with Q
Q
against the fish on the table on a J
6
3
flop then tank called 2 barrels on a 9
8
river).
Hero ($1k) is UTG with 7
7
and limps
V2 is UTG+1 ($850) and raises to $20
V1 ($700) calls $20
All fold including blinds
Hero calls $16
Q - is calling here OOP to these two players with these two stacks with a setmining hand unprofitable in the long run?
Flop: ($66) K
6
9
Hero checks, V1 and V2 check behind.
Turn: ($66) 8
Hero bets $40 with the intention of check/calling bricks on the river and continuing on any 5 and T (do we barrel river on a bink 7??)
V2 folds
V1 thinks for a second then calls
River: ($146) 8
Hero checks
V1 bets $50
Hero??
- Interestingly enough, V1 announced just the hand before that he would've made the nuts with 89 after he folded to a raise preflop, stating "Why did I fold 89 to a raise?" (this is not a spoiler for the hand but I figured it in his range for not betting flop, calling turn and making such a small bet on the river)
Comments on all streets on both hands appreciated thanks.
