More specifically, with the overbet sizing, I'm looking to get hero called by random ace, king, hands like JT, QT, and some weird stuff like T8, 98, 77.
Jarretman is correct to point out that my hand blocks a lot of those hands Kx and weird 2pair hands which is a significant portion of the calling range, and that makes me reconsider with this particular hand
Outside of potentially poor hand selection I thought this was a good spot to get max value from worse. I still think that but am open to opinions. Up until the river overbet:
- V hadn't expressed much interest in the pot (limp, x/c, x, x), thought his range was bloated with marginal holdings like single pair. Wanted to polarize to give them a reason to call
- Board runout bricked, no draws made it on the turn/river that didn't make it on the flop. A lot of bluffs in my range
- My overbet is very suspicious. I would never play an actual good hand this way, since I would never slow down on the turn on a T9dd board
- My image is conducive to getting called lighter, youngest by at least 10 yrs and already played a pot aggressively
- Global tendency for V's to call too much and look for hero calls (much like I was when he raised me
)
