History/Table dynamics: It is in the early afternoon on a Tuesday at my local card room. I know and have played with every player at the table. The table consists mostly of 40-60 year old men and one other younger reg whom I am friends with. There is currently a high-hand promotion running, so players are looking to see some flops for cheap. Over all the table is pretty good since all the players play pretty tight passive and will only really raise post flop unless they have it. I have been at the table for about 2-3 hours.
It is also worth noting that the table has agreed to one round of mandatory straddles OTB. This is the only reason I straddled.
Villain 1 BB ($550)
Age: 40s
Sex: M
Ethnicity: White
Reads/Tendencies: I have played with this player the least of anyone at the table, but probably still about 5-10 times. He plays pretty sung for the most part, but is known to be able to raise lighter from late position. He is also capable of acting of reads (ie. bluffing, calling light). Not sure if this occurred before or after this hand, but he 4bet all-in with KQo pre (and showed) after getting 3bet by a LAG player. He stated that he though that the LAG player was FOS, so I'm pretty sure he knows that he was "bluffing".
Villain 2 CO ($265)
Age: 50s
Sex: M
Ethnicity: White
Reads/Tendencies: This guy is a pretty big fish. Your standard recreational player who really doesn't really know much about the game and is just there for fun. He will just hit the call button with most pair type hands and will chase draws for the wrong price. He can also get aggressive in certain spots.
Hero (~$2000) is dealt: Q
6
Age: 20s
Sex: M
Ethnicity: White
Image: I have been playing very snug so far this session. This is the first time I have entered a pot with a hand this weak. I have shown down a few hands thus far in the session, all strong hands that won the pot. It also might be worth noting that two of the hands I showed down were flushes that I played passively, got there, and then got paid.
Pre-flop:
Hero straddles OTB to $10, SB calls (loose donk with $700 stack), V1 in BB raises to $35, folds to V2 in the CO who calls, Hero calls, SB folds
.
Flop ($108): 2
4
6
V1 bets $80, V2 raises All-in for $230 total, Hero calls, V1 calls.
Turn ($798): 8
V1 bets $285 All-in, Hero calls.
River ($1368)...
Thought's on my line? How bad does everyone think my call pre is give the straddle and stack sizes? Also, thoughts on flatting the flop versus shoving? I was thinking that once V2 shoves, he likely has a made hand better than mine anyway (but not always), so I want V1's money in the pot also since I will likely have to improve to win the pot. I have great equity versus something like two over pairs.
