On the subject of me having "god mode" engaged, again I checked because I felt MP2 would bet with a much wider range than he would call with but I think the worst part about this plan is that if MP2 bets, the CO calls I really can't raise very comfortably because of the absolute weakness of my hand although I have a very strong hand against their ranges.
Yeah I feel the river is a bet/call, I represent basically nothing here and CO knows I am capable of basically anything but the only hand he is probably raising on the river is like Jh8h.
I felt any hand calling 175 is willing to call more so...
Hero bets 250.
I wish I had posted this earlier to counter all of the "fold pre" and "give up on turn vs deep V" people.
I've read the whole thread and think that, given your reads, my default line would have been to check raise the turn big when MP shorty bets a worse Ace and CO calls. A couple reasons come to mind: 1) CO likely has a draw and a CR charges him the max to see the river - he likely folds after putting in another big bet from calling MP. 2) HE FOLDS BETTER HANDS!
If we CR the turn then what can CO call us with? Sets only if he is decent. Our bet would look like a very strong hand and get folds from AQ and AK, heck, maybe even two pair. All draws would have called another bet and then be forced to fold to our CR since (and I think a lot of people haven't realized this) CO likely doesn't want to play a super huge and deep pot against us!
Everyone keeps saying how deep we are and to pot control, but this guy likely doesn't play $1k pots every day and would shy away from playing one here. If we are just going to shy away from a big pot since we have been winning and are deep then we should have left the table a while ago once we got over whatever amount we aren't comfortable losing in one hand - and gone to play limit or 1/2 or a different casino if possible.
I like the CR line best, but I would also just keep barreling turn the rest of the time since we are still ahead of both players enough to bet again. C/R or B/F is my preference, I'm almost never C/Fing here without super solid reads or a huge bet/raise by CO.
