Hero: HJ
Hand: 76
Stack: $300

BB
Stack: covers hero

C/O
Stack: $170

This is my second hand at the table, but I've played with c/o before, and never played with BB.

c/o is a middle age black dude. He seems to be average for player pool at this particular casino, but has too much gambool in his blood. He consistently shows up with a weak hand range later in hands. His LP range is as wide as J6o to a single raise. Furthermore, once he catches a piece of the board he's very sticky and will pay you off with even 3rd pair on the board. He's closer to a calling station when in call down mode, and uber aggressive/spew when taking the betting lead.

BB is an unknown but covers hero. He's a middle aged white guy.

Hero: is a sexy beast who just happened to lose his first hand in a spot where I should've folded to a river bet made by an OMC, but I did not... I think the table knew the river bet was a fold on Q9552 run out... OMC was representing a 5, and I did not believe.

That hand:
laggish player opens to $12, hero flats KQ from c/o. Button (c/o in the above hand) flats, OMC in BB flats
flop: Q95

BB checks, PFR $15, hero flats, Bu flats, BB flats

Turn: 5 BB leads for $50, folds to me, call, bu folds
River: 2 BB leads for $100

I know I know, fold turn I know. It was my first hand at the table, and I thought BB would c/f a 5 on the flop... but I didn't consider that the flop bet was small, and he was closing the action so he CAN have a 5 there. I got married to my hand, wasn't even comfortable in my seat yet... It was a huge mistake, I agree with you.

so the very next hand is 76 and I'm not sure how the table views me after KQ hand, thought I'd add that hand in here for you guys to analyze.

On to the hand:
folds to hero in HJ, $12, c/o calls, BB flats

Flop($36): 952
BB leads for $20
Hero flats
c/o flats

folding is out of the question here. Calling/raising both have their merrits. Is this a spot where we're willing to raise/get it in vs BB?

I'm not sure if BB leads his sets here, the average V at this level likely c/r or c/c rather than donk, but it's possible he's capable of donking the top of his range.




Turn($96): K
BB leads again for $55
Hero flats
Bu flats

Should hero raise this turn card most of the time?


River: A
BB checks,
hero?
Check behind, call it a day and move on to the next hand? or bet to try to take the pot down?

Likley ranges:

c/o: 55,22,A9s+,A2s-A5s,K9s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T9s,97s+,95s,A9o+,A5o,A2o,K9o+, QJo,Q9o,J9o,T9o

BB: 99-AA,55,22,A9s,A3s-A4s,K9s,Q9s,J9s,T9s,A9o


Hero: 43%
c/o: 15%
BB: 42%

Pretty easy for you to have AhXh, a set, or a 2 pair hand here, whereas villain is unlikely to check an Ax or better hand on the river. I'd jam river.
