Archie hand, A2346 on 2nd draw Archie hand, A2346 on 2nd draw

Live 50/100 mixed game, 5-handed, Archie (9s)

V1 is fairly weak player in this game, he's getting smashed tonight so he limps in a bunch even though we're 5-handed. Position is button-1

V2 is an okay player but he's much better at the stud games than the draw games. Also somewhat passive. Position is BB

Hero is SB.

V1 opens, I call A346x in SB, BB calls. Everyone draws 1, I catch a brick but it checks through and catch a 2 on the second draw and bet out, V2 raises and V1 calls, hero calls (?). I’m not really enamored with in-position player cold calling 2 when everyone drew 1, and I decide to see how the 3rd draw/betting betting goes. I’m never folding #2 low here, if I get coolered by a wheel then so be it.

But should I 3bet here? How should I play the next street assuming everyone is pat-does it depend on whether I'm 4bet? Presumably I'm never scooping this pot...

Strongly prefer a 3! on the turn. Hand just has too much value. After, you bet the river if nobody 4! and ch/c the river if someone does. As played, I'm not sure what I like on the river. Maybe a ch/r if the middle guy bets and last guy calls? Maybe a flat call if it checks to the IP player and he bets? Or maybe you're supposed to lead. I'm not really sure.

Okay, everybody pats the third draw. I check my low, BB bets, and button-1 raises. Hero?

Considering late position opened, BB didn't 3b pre, and CO xb flop, I think we can eliminate 2345x, steel wheel draws, and A234x from either villain's dealt range. This should limit combos we get scooped by to the unsuited gutshot wheel draws.

I'd 3b/c turn and lead river, unless it's capped. If capped, I'd prob take whatever line you think will get 3 bets in and hopefully not 4, without losing a customer.

As played, I'd x/3! river if you think both will come along for the ride, but just overcall if there's a good chance BB will fold for 2 more. I'd be thinking about how villains (esp BB) react to getting jammed, when it comes to the river decision. BB will likely apply same thought process to getting jammed on river as he does in the stud games.

Haven't played much Archie and even less of the 99+ high qualifier, so grain of salt.

I'm sure that button-1 (described above as passive) has a monster here so I just call as does BB. V1 does indeed have a monster, a 6-high straight. Unfortunately for him, BB has a flush to take the high half and my smooth 6 takes the low and he gets nothing.

Thinking back not at game speed:
there were 4 bets that went in on the big streets, if I'd 3b the 2nd draw like I should have, I think they both both call, I'd lead the last betting round and V1 would likely raise here, so probably get 5 big bets in. Some lost value in how I played this one.

My default is to 3b pre. Not close.

As played you have close to a one-way nut. Play to keep people in and extract maximum.
