V1 is TAG competent mid 30s grinder with a solid opening range (top 15%), will take flops IP very wide (see HH below). V2 plays top 40% hands from any position to a single raise pre. Hero has LAG image tending toward the insane. Recently stacked a rec player in a limped pot w/nut straight v straight on a four-liner board.

V1 history from earlier in session: ES 750 Hero opens 76s MP 20 V flats BU. Flop 982cc Hero cbet 30, call and V raises 150, Hero ships folds to V calls. Hero binks, V mucks 92s.

No significant history with V2 (he doesn't pay much attention), but I've played with him several times and seen him call 3 streets with J7s on J-hi two-tone coordinated board, etc.

ES 640

V1 opens 30 HJ, Hero flats 87dd BU, V2 flats SB, BB folds.

Flop (110) Td 4c 9d

V2 donks 65 with what I'm assuming is {T8s, JT-AT}. V1 insta-raises to 200, which seems like a solid betsizing tell for 2-pair, sets.

Against that range we are basically even money with V1 ~47-47. I'm comfortable removing TT as V2 should donk TP often.

We know that V1 always calls a ship here. Flatting at even money allows us to pick up some effectively dead money from V2. We have about 32% equity on most blank turns as well, so when V2 ships turn (assuming we miss), we can still profitably call (405 into 1,115 = 2.75-1; we need 2.1-1 only).

Thoughts?

You already wrote the analysis...Is V2 the type to stick around if you flat? If your read on him indicates he is folding to the aggression from V1 and you are sure V1 will call a shove, then get it in otf.

Seems like you have it figured out.

Yea, it was mainly a question of confirming the logic and ranges.

Sounds like a solid plan of attack
