2/5NL at Tampa Hardrock
Fish($1200) Is a massive fish, putting in huge raises with TPNK, stacking off with TPTK.
NP ($450) Just sat down, middle aged with glasses looks like the typical nitty player but no reads yet
Kid ($1500) Is a good TaG grinder, squeezes, clearly crushes the game.
Hero ($2000) Viewed as young and aggressive but fairly nitty. Kid probably views me as standard grinder, not making plays.
Fish straddles $10 from MP, NP calls, Kid Raises to $45, I flat in the CO with 7
6
, Fish folds ????, NP calls.
I flat in position because Fish and Kid are deep, I'm in position, and my hand plays well with high sprs. I never expected Fish to fold here.
Flop ($130) 2
3

I flop a gutter to a 5 and backdoor spades. NP checks and looks uninterested in the hand. Kid leads $80. I opt to call here. Kid is going to cbet his entire range on this board and check many turns, so I can take the pot away as a float. More importantly, Kid is going to have a lot of Aces in his raising/cbetting range, which turn a wheel on a 5 and get crushed by my higher straight. I am also planning on raising him off hands when a spade peels of as I rep the sets very well.
Anyways, with an unkown player in this pot (appears dissinterested but he just sat down) Is this call to thin?
