playing in a new home game for the first time. $1/$2NL. tons of action but i had never played with these guys. i sit there for aprox 2hrs. noting what i can about each of the players. younger "imternet age" guy sitting on my left. not being overly aggro but taking shots here and there. the villian just took a bad beat which had him visibly on tilt when he flopped top 2 in the BB only to have someone go ruuner runner flush. he tops off and 2 hands later im in the C/O and villian is OTB.
blinds post and there is a $5 straddle utg it gets called by MP uber fish and myself in the cut off. (yes i usually raise but decieded to flat in positoin) the Villian pops it to $20 straight OTB. fish calls i call. 3 to the flop
Qd 6h 4s and it gets chkd around.
now im thinking that it was a really strange spot for a hand like aces or kings to chk behind in position 3way. or any Q. seems to me you would fire for value. so i eliminate then from likely holdings. the fish has a range as wide as the grand cayon!
Qs hits the turn (Qd 6h 4s Qs) fish leads $25 into $68. hero calls $25($118). Villian pushes for $61 more $86($204) all day. Fish folds.
my read at the time was that he could show up with TT, JJ AKo,AKs, AJs. but i really thought that he had paint(excluding any Q) and was pushing at the fish due to the fact i had a very tight passive image at this table and was likly to fold to any decent amount to aggression.
is my range reasonable enough to warrent me calling?
