Have been at table for 45 min or so. Have won a few pots but have not gotten out of line. Haven't played with these guys in a while but know I am viewed as a solid aggressive player.
Buy In $300 to $500, I bought in for $500
Villian 1 ~$225, MP2 History
Villian 2 covers, MP3 No history
Hero ~$425
Table has generally been loose passive PF with the avg. raise required to fold out hands has been $25 or more.
4 Limpers to me. I limp with K
Q
, thought about raising but didn't want to balloon the pot. Button folds and both blinds check. 6 players to the flop.
Flop ($30)
K
T
4
Checked around to Villain 1, he bets $40, Villian 2 calls. Hero raises to $120. Villian 1 folds and Villian 2 calls.
Villian 1 is capable of representing any range hands given it was checked around to him. EP and MP limpers have been betting any part of flop. Narrowed down Villian's 2 range to KJ,KT,QJ,44 and FD
Turn ($310) Q
Villian 2 checks, I shove. When he checked I put him on KJ or K10. Didn't think he would check set in that spot given how drawy board was. He takes almost 5min to call. Since I didn't get insta called I knew I was ahead. He nearly folded his hand 2x's and finally before he called he mentioned to me this is a tough decision. He called showing me 44 for the set. Turn was a 6.
Game over!
Have been thinking about this hand and how it played out. Feel like I could have checked behind on the turn but didn't want to give him a free card if he infact did have a draw nor did I want a scare card to come off on the turn to shut him down. I just can't see how I could get away from this hand after the turn w/o any history on Villian 2
Like it or hate it and why.
