Hero has approx 1300 all vilains have him covered.
standard hand but I am thinking whether i could have played it better.
V1 fish beginner total - just playing his cards and keep drawing
V2 sounds competent TAG, I believe he cbet sometimes and he can semi bluff sometimes - only history it s HU vs his raise pre, he cbet 2/3 pot and I raised IP with trips on paired board he folded
Hero showed that he could play draws aggressively (actually showed it twice)
winning fish
Hero raised MP to 30 with 88
V1 and V2 calls in sB and BB
flop 5s8hKh pot 90
V1 bets 50
V2 quickly raise to 180
hero tank call
V1 tank long time then call
pot 630
Turn: Qs,
V1 checks
V2 as a competent player bet 450
hero? (approx 1100 left)
should we jam here or call? call might be as strong as jam?
jam expecting KQ played aggressively to call or some TPNFD or OESD+FD to call?

recently I got a lot of this kind of bet OTT and I dont know how to play them right , call is as strong as raise right with this effective stack? Like facing competent vilain with Bet/Fold huge bets (while usually table OTF is slightly more thab 1/2 pot from most PROs )

Jam even if you have zero bluffs. You don't have to have bluff range here.
V basically commits himself.
He needs to call 650 to win 2180.
He will call you with 55, 67hh, 79hh, maybe Axhh.
He will stop bluff if he missed the river as you have so little behind if you call turn

as played: call OTT .. you want V1 to continue with his hand. I don`t think that he is on a heart draw (tanking on the flop .. unlikely for a beginner with a draw) .. And even if he has the heart draw, we will be able to find an easy fold on the river (if he shoves).

V1 tank like as if he was folding, I think he cannot call the 4.5K hkd .
But what about V2? do we want him see river "for free"? pot is already 108bb (if i call it would be 153 bb leaving myself with 70bb behind kind of offering him free implied ?
