I play HU cash only. I consider myself a full ring-fish. Thanks for taking it easy on me.
Playing international, the stakes are equivalent of 2/5 USD.
Fish (He's bad, he overplays his hands, but rarely 'bluffs'. He will turn 77 into a bluff on a T high board, but he wont bluff with like QJ on a T high board. He kind of hates calling 3bets, but will call any pre flop single raise (of any size). He seems to be incredibly wealthy given his play style.
Villain 1 super tight nit.
I am $1600 deep. Fish has me covered.
utg raises to $20. fish calls $20, 2 other $20 callers, and i have AKo on the button. I would flat here if 2 others didn't call already. So I raise to $120. Villain 1 jams for $140 from sb, fish flats, other 2 fold.
So pot is $480 OTF.
Flop= 852r
Fish bets $200
Is this a super easy fold?
Hand 2:
Same fish in the hand, and different villain. Villain here is pretty solid from what I've seen, although he calls me everytime I raise pre flop for some reason (100%) (I'm only white westerner at the table fwiw).
I play a ton of hands IP in limped pots, people are limping more than raising, and well, i'll take some cheap flops multi-way with these aggro, bad, deep stacked players.
I'm now $1800 deep. Fish has me covered. Villain 2 is $500 deep. I have Qc7c on btn
Flop is a family pot, 9 players. Pot is ~36.
flop is Kc9c2h. Fish bets $50, I flat $50, and villain 2 raises to $105 from BB. Fish re raises to $240 and I've got myself in a pickle. So I'm incredibly deep with fish, and his range here isn't entirely known. I'd say at the very worst he has a Kx type hand with my read, and obviously better. My issue is not having the nut flush draw and getting it in real awful, especially with a solid guy behind me, likely going to be re-raising the fish if he raised from the BB there.
So my thought is if I do call the fish $240, I will also have to call the villain 2 re raise again to ~$500.
What's your play?
Hand 3: (just thought of this one again).
stacks, I'm covered by both, and I have $1800. Same fish, different villain (likely best player at the table. He usually plays 5/10+ and I have mad respect for his game, and I try to avoid playing pots with him as the aggressor if possible). Another limped pot, I limp button w/ JTo (Villain 3 (best player villain) raises BB to $36, fish calls, I call. rest fold
Flop pot is something like $122 or so. Flop is 892r. Villain 3 bets $60, fish calls $60, and I call $60. turn is 4d (bringing diamond draw). Villain 3 bets $150, fish calls, I call.
straight forward hand? Don't think i can raise at any point here profitably...
