1/3 Saturday night

Most aggro guy at table (mid 30s white guy) and nittiest guy at table (mid 50s white guy) both limp. We BTN JdJc 21. Both call

A67xhh checks around

Js checks to us we 60 both call

8h aggro checks, old guy bets 150. we?

Muck the cards in his face and walk 2 laps around casino

It helps sometimes

Nitty guy at the table bets into us on the nut worst river card? Fold.

But obviously he was bluffing because it's a thread.

usually i never recommend showing cards but i like your style boss.

definitely a fold. not even hard just muck it.

What are you beating?

Old man's air bluff? Ha ha, kidding.

Typically I'd consider making a small flop cbet here (there is a decent chance our hand is good here, we're not WA/WB with the draws and overs). With the aggro guy in the hand (I'm assuming we're not short enough to be comfortable playing for stacks) I don't mind the check back.

If the nittiest guy at the table is nitty (which is table dependent), then we have to consider a hero fold here.

I'd like to know the result here. If we're going to fold the absolute top of our range, we need to be correct. How deep does the read on nitty villian go?

I tanked for about 3 minutes and folded. No way he checks a lower set twice or calls the turn with 88. I think he's nitty enough that he doesn't value bet 2p on a nasty river even if it's checked to him. Never found out what he had, sorry.

The nitty read comes from playing with him for about 8 hours straight before this hand, and from chit chatting with him out on the smoking balcony. I think he had Axhh.

After I folded I kind of looked at him expectantly and he looked disappointed and said "you had 3 jacks" and I nodded yeah, and he shook his head and said "I can't believe you folded, I don't know how you fold 3 jacks." In print you could take that to mean he was happy, but in person he was clearly frustrated.

Nice fold; if he put you on a set of jacks (which readability-wise makes perfect sense the way you played the hand) he would probably almost always show a worse hand for tilting purposes, no?

Thanks for filling in, nice fold. Sounds like you had plenty to go on in real time, and afterwards to feel good about it.
