Played an uncapped game of 1/2/3/10 the other day, stacks were quite deep due to structure and pro being at table. Everybody agreed to straddle $10.
Cutoff: V1 ($1,400) - Professional player, mid 40s WM
Button: Hero ($1,950) - Low-stakes (1/2, 1/3) regular, mid 30s AM
UTG/Straddle: V2 ($800) - Recreational player, irrelevant
-Hero has never played larger than 5/10 capped and this is the first time playing with all players
-Game had been going on for about 90 minutes
-Hero is most likely seen as tight player due to general low VPIP and playstyle
Preflop:
V1 opens to $25
Hero (A
9
) raises to $75
V2 calls, V1 calls (after some delay)
Flop ($230): 2
2
5
V2 checks, V1 checks
Hero bets $125, V1 calls
Turn ($480): 2
2
5
Q
V1 checks, Hero checks
River ($480): 2

Q

V1 bets $300
Hero action?
Some notes/questions:
1. This is not a move I typically make - I would normally fold this >50% of the time. I did not feel it was good enough to call with so I elected to 3-bet.
Flop:
2. Do you agree V1's calling range should be something like: A5, 45, 56, 22-JJ, AQ, AJ, AT, KQ, KJ, KT?, QJ, QT?, JT
3. How often is V1 floating with made hands (pair) vs. unmade hands (broadway cards)?
Turn:
4. Is there in any sense in continuing the aggression by betting? Based on assigned range above, V1 would maybe fold AJ, AT, KJ, KT, JT only.
-Basically, how often does V1 float flop with hands that are not ahead of hero's A9, since I am assuming any made hand (pairs or better) will call a Turn bet.
-Betting Turn here means I must bet River.
River:
5. How often is V1 turning small pairs or missed broadways, missed turned flush draws into bluffs, given Hero checked behind on Turn?
6. What about V1's sizing?
7. What does V1 think Hero has here most of the time? Would/should Hero check back KK/AA on the turn?
8. Can raising over the top all-in for $900 more be +EV?
Feel free to chew me up with constructive thoughts.
Thanks.
