5-handed game as part of an 8-game mix. Villain seems like a very solid player in all games, probably a professional. He might be the best player at the table. I've been playing with him for the past 2 days, he (hopefully) thinks I'm solid as well. We've been playing for about 8 hours, game has died down a little, but neither of us has been out of line. He might think I'm a little on the nittier side, but I've been aggressive throughout. However, he's had his eyes glued playing online on his iPad most of the night, so I'm not sure how much he's been paying attention to hands that he's not involved in.
Hero is dealt A
J
T
5
in BB.
Preflop:
UTG folds, CO folds, BTN raises, SB folds, I call.
This seems like a slightly loose defense, but probably standard, right? If he opened in the CO, might lean towards a fold. Correct?
Flop (2 players):
K
T
5
Hero checks, BTN bets, Hero raises, BTN calls
Seems standard
Turn:
A
Hero bets, BTN calls
Not the best card, but I'm still likely ahead and can't be far behind, so seems standard.
River:
6
Hero checks with the intention of calling.
My thinking was that, even though I hit my flush, a K-high or Q-high flush is certainly in his range. A straight would've raised the turn, a two pair is probably folding to my bet, but if he has any low then I think he'll call. So I have no fold equity against any low, and I can't think there are any worse high hands that pay me off. It's very difficult for him to have a worse flush without a low. And if I bet and get raised I'm in trouble. So, I check.
I'm kinda new to O8. Thoughts?
