Hey guys. Played about 20 hours of 1/2 this weekend. Played pretty solid, maintained a 15bb/hr win rate (I know, lol sample size, but felt I played pretty good poker overall). This was my last hand of the weekend and I want some help breaking it down.
Villain 1: Middle aged arabic guy with an accent. Big stack at the table. I table changed to his table specifically to target him as he seemed very loud and boisterous, could hear him from my previous table. Zero reads outside of that as this hand occurred 3 hands after I sat down.
Hero: Overall winning image, I would show alot of bluffs that took down small pots to build a loose image to extract max value when I actually made a hand. Irrelevant though as I had not played any pots with villain.
$1/2 NL (10 handed)
$150 effective stacks.
Hero is dealt Q
Q
UTG. Hero limps, 4 limps, SB completes, BB checks.
(table seemed more aggressive that I expected, I was relatively certain there would be a raise that I could 3! to isolate pre.... no dice).
Flop ($14) K
K
6
Checked all the way around to villain, who bets $14. Folded to hero, I call, everyone else folds.
Turn ($42) J
Hero checks, villain bombs the pot with $75 bet.
I start talking to him, and asking him questions. I ask him, "did you really hit that king?". He replies "No I didn't, but I know you don't have a king either". In my experience, when a player flat out says "I do not have X", it is almost always true. As such, I take any Kx out of his range.
Hero......?
Thanks in advance for any input.
