Hey guys! took a successful shot at 2/5 today

Got into a bit of a sticky one.

Hero/EP(1200) Young 20s possible perceived as a rock/nit opening a pretty snug range. have not been very active as table was crazy and quite frankly was intimidated by the sums of money being tossed around.

V1/BB(1000) 30s-40s white male business casual. Have not played with him before but has lived up to his reputation as a gambler. straddles 20-25 without fail and plays something like 80/75 and rarely 3bets but flats 3bets at a high % and loves to peel.The guy seriously raises 25 every hand and just took a hit a previous hand and reloaded max.

V2/LP(800) somewhat irrelevant station V peels light frequently.

Hero in EP makes it 20 with AQ

both Vs call

Flop(67) Q22
V1 check
Hero 45
V2 call
V1 raises 100

Hero?

I think flatting the flop is best.

Give Villian a chance to continue bluffing.

Raising would charge a flush draw and V2 could definetely have that but I wouldn't want to get in 200BB against this guy with little info.

Alot of gamboolers are loose preflop but that doesn't mean he will lose 200bb with TPGK.

Also if he is paying attention he will know you don't have a 2 when he possibly could.

Whenever I am 200BB+ deep playing 2/5nl I absolutely positively hate playing for stacks when my hand is face up as AK/AQ and the board is something like A 4 4 or in your case Q 2 2

flat flop, reevaluate turn, and try to get to showdown. Also, try not to display any angst or weakness with your call down as you don't want to encourage villain to bluff for stacks unless you have some super soul read and are trying to induce to play for stakes...

Basically, in spots like this when deep vs villains with an insanely wide range on bs paired board where our hand is face up as TPGK or an overpair...

you don't want to play for 200BB stacks and you want to try to get to showdown. So flat the flop raise, reevaluate turn, and try to radiate strength.

Deep this is always a painful situation. Against a lag you don't want to play for stacks but your hand is too good to automatically give up. You hand is face up and a very aggressive lag could double or triple barrel air. There are not many ways hero's hand can improve and if it does improve it will be obvious.

I flat and evaluate turn. I'm aiming to check turn behind, but that probably won't happen. If he is willing to bet turn big, I'm probably just giving up here. This is a situation where you want V2 to come along, because it might slow V1 down if he is on total air and makes it that much easier to give up later to more betting.

Once you have played with the villain for a while and have a better read on his bluffing range, you will need to call this down sometimes. Not very often though, just enough to keep the villain from habitually bluffing you here.

Raise more pre or limp raise if you know he flats too much and or will raise 25 when limped to.

If the turn is say, an offsuit 6 and villian checks what should hero do?
