I was going to create a second thread for the 2nd confrontation with this V, but given the reaction to this thread, I thought it better to just add it as an epilogue here.
So...round 2...
In the same orbit, action folds to this same V on the BTN, who opens to $15. SB folds. With one seat now open between us, hero is in the BB with J9s, and defends. We're heads up to the flop with $30 in the pot.
FLOP ($30) - KJ9tt.
Hero x. V c-bets $20. Hero x/r's to $80. V flat calls.
TURN ($190) - KJ9ttXx - forget the exact card, but it was some low-middling brick.
Hero $250. V jams for a little less than $600.
If I wasn't going to fold top 2 before, I guess I'm not folding bottom 2 now, when V can have AA, AK, KQ, whatever. I snap call.
