- Villain 1 is a good LAG pro.
- Villain 2 is a recreational loose player (very loose and passive pre). Doesn't ever 3bet. Can get aggressive on the river, but still pretty passive and loose on this street too.
Hoping to get some feedback on pre, flop and turn sizings and then a strategy for river.
Hero has AhKd in small blind. Blinds are 5/10, stacks are 5k effective and standard open for this game is 50. It's 9 handed.
Villain 1 makes it 50 from MP, Villain 2 calls from MP+1, another passive player calls from CO and Hero makes it 300 from SB. Villain 1 and Villain 2 Call.
Flop - K 5 8 rainbow - Pot = 960
Hero Bets 325 and both Villains Call
Turn - Kh 5 8 6h - Pot = 1,935
Hero Bets 775, Villain 1 Folds and Villain 2 Calls
River - Kh 5 8 6h J - Pot = 3,485
What do you think of the sizings in this hand so far? Also, what do you prefer to do in this River spot? I am torn between Bet/Fold 1/3 Pot or Check/Call most of his bets.
I think not betting the river is out of the question vs a loose passive player. The way to exploit them is to bet thin and get maximum value. I like betting 1/3 or even just a little more. So rarely will a loose passive villain bluff shove a river.
