Hero sat down less than one orbit ago and looks at A
Q
in MP. H chooses to limp, given he is almost readless, not in great position, and with a not super-strong hand. Limps / folds to B (Villain) who raises to 10. Folds to H who calls, folds back to button.
I don't have any real info on this V, other than he seems to play a little loose PF and I think a button raise could be a lot of things. Not sure though and looking to take a relatively cheap flop and win a medium pot, unless I hit hard.
F: 987 rainbow, one diamond. I check and V checks back.
T: 4
With a backdoor flush draw out there, I think I'm in decent shape, especially if he has something like AK, QT, KT, KQ, other broadway cards, or a smaller PP. I figure turn card doesn't help V (barring 44). I elect to check and V bets 10. Quickly, I 3bet to 30. My thinking here is that I can maybe fold out medium-strength hands, like SDs, AK, KQ, maybe even smaller overpairs (although that's less likely with the SD there as well). Was this spewy? Should I have flatted? Or led? V calls relatively quickly.
R: A
At this point I think I have the best hand, thinking V shows up with a busted draw / combo draw / A10 or AJ a bunch of the time. I quickly check, ready to snap off a R bluff or just take a cheap showdown. V fires out 50. Hero???
This feels like he's betting a missed draw. I can't discount a rivered 2-pair, but I'm not sure he'd call a turn raise with something as marginal as A8 or a 9. Absent reads, maybe I should have just taken a flop and then c/f or c/c (once the diamond hit) without trying to get creative OOP. Thoughts on all streets appreciated!
