Three hours into session. 1/2 NL. Table is very loose passive. Ten handed.

Hero($600, UTG +1): Hero is one of three players at the table that is playing tight. He moved over from table one about an hour ago and hasn't shown down too many hands.

Villain ($300, UTG): Villain is a reg. He is 60's WG. He is loose passive pre flop but very aggressive post flop. He limps a lot of hands pre flop but when he does raise it's always very large. He's said to hero several times "I don't trust you, kid" before making calls the past few weeks. When given the opportunity to bluff, villain bluffs ~67% of the time. He has a very wide limp, call range pre flop. I've seen him limp then call $20 pre flop with hands like 56o to hands like AQo and medium pocket pairs. Villain is all around a weird player, but still manages to make a little bit of profit in the long run considering how bad some of the players are at our card room.

OTTH

BTN straddles for $5. BB flats and so does villain. Hero looks up to A A and raises to $30 (standard raise size for hero with two limpers and a $5 BTN straddle.) It's folded around to villain who snap calls.

Flop ($71): T J J

Villain checks, hero bets $40 and villain calls.

Turn ($151): 9.

Villain checks and hero checks back.

River ($151): K.

Villain leads out for $60. Hero?

It's hard to see what worse hand he is betting here actually. But, I am not good enough to fold here and we are getting good odds. Like the turn check.

Against described V I make a call. The board is scary but you said he was bluffing 67% of the time when the opportunity arises so unless you have some sort of read with the smallish river bet sizing it is a call IMO. The river card stinks but V knows that too I'd imagine. Sometimes he shows up with AQ, AJ, KQ, etc Crying call.

one of the biggest rules of 1/2 is 'do not pay them off'

you only beat Kx of clubs, you have th e A of clubs in your hand

im saying flold on an internet poker forum but idk if i could lay it down irl

Given your description of V, I would call. You are saying "When given the opportunity to bluff, villain bluffs ~67% of the time" and by checking back the turn you are giving him the opportunity to do so.

You say V always raises a lot, but OTR it's only 40% of the pot. Does he raise more with bluffs vs. when betting for value? Is he aggressive postflop only with bluffs or also with value hands? V doesn't seem so aggressive postflop in the given hand.

fold bro, but dont show, just say ' show the bluff'.

Against described V, I make a crying call. It sounds like he massively overbluffs and this price is too good to pass up. It's definitely closer holding the Ace of clubs, but I expect to see bluffs from a V like this often enough to make it worthwhile.

This is definitely a spot I'd be looking for more reads and tells though. In particular, against an active V you should be actively looking to see if there are any sizing tells in his bluffs and value.
