So this is something that I have been having a hard time with recently. I am a big time regular at my casino and it is where I have the vast majority of my live experience. Because of this one of my greatest strengths is playing against the other regular and semi-regular players, as I am pretty good at noticing everyone's tendencies to the point that I am crushing this game pretty consistently. Every night the game is about 8 regs and 2 rotating players that just happen to stumble across the game. I keep having a very hard time assigning ranges to these 'new' players as I feel like I tend to give them way too much credit without any real reason.
Hero (~$300) UTG raises A
Q
to $12. UTG+2, MP, V1 (~$300) in CO, BTN, BB all call.
Flop (~$68): Q
8
4
BB checks, Hero bets $35, UTG+2 folds, MP folds, V1 raises to $100, BTN, BB, fold. Hero?
The table started less than 15 minutes ago, the only thing I know about V1 is that apparently he's the son of a big time whale that comes in, gets drunk, and loses >$1000 every Friday. He is white and in his late twenties, when he bought in he took out a wad of at least 2k.
The board is so dry I have a hard time coming up with any hands that play like this. I can maybe see KQ, QJ doing this to "see where they're at" but how much of an unknown's range is that?
