Quarter ante structure, 8-handed.
2s brings in
I raise Ac As | 4d
8h, Ks, Td, Js fold
3c calls, 7c calls
4th:
xx | 3c 5s
xx | 7c 8c
Ac As | 4d Jd
I check, 35 bets, 78 calls, I call
5th:
xx | 3c 5s Qd
xx | 7c 8c 4h
Ac As | 4d Jd 6h
35Q checks, 784 inexplicably checks, I bet, they call
6th:
xx | 3c 5s Qd Kd
xx | 7c 8c 4h 9h
Ac As | 4d Jd 6h 6c
I bet, 35QK raises, 7849 calls
The player with 35QK is a solid player. The 7849 is a very recreational player. Borderline maniac sometimes, so the fact that he's passive here is kinda weird.
I think a bit about what solid guy has. I don't think he'd slowplay rolled up to this point. Pocket QQ seems unlikely as I think he'd just jam 5th with his set. Pocket KK maybe? But there was a dead K. I suppose it makes more sense than 333 or QQ, though, as I don't think he'd jam 5th with just KK vs 784 board.
Rec player plays trash. I think if he had anything remotely decent he would have made a lot more noise on 3rd, 4th, and 5th. So I see him as drawing here, mostly.
Overall, it feels like I'm too high in my range to consider folding, and I can make a full house on the river in worst case scenario. I also am trying to get away from hero folds based on reads. So I call and plan on calling river assuming nothing bad happens.
River 3s
I check, solid player bets, and rec player raises. Meh
Thoughts? Thanks
