live 2-5, oop with the world
Hero is 24 year old kid with a relatively LAG image. Hero has been at the table for less than an hour and has shown down no hands, but has been one of the more active players at the table. Villain 1 is loose-passive fish. Villain 2 is a young mid 20s Brazillian and likely a pro who seems to be playing well but hasn't shown down any noteworthy hands.
$1k effective stack. EP limps, hero raises to 25 from LJ with Ac4c, V1 flats from CO, V2 3bets to 110, EP folds, hero calls, V1 folds.
I'll be 4betting here at some frequency but with my active image felt that I'd have less FE than I would in other scenarios. Additionally, I think when I flat V1 is going to come along a majority of the time, which seems like a profitable endeavor. Folding doesn't seem so bad either, but I think calling when this deep with a fish behind seems ok.
Flop (243) 8c4s2c. Hero checks, V2 bets 110, hero calls.
I'm unsure of this spot, but think that both calling and check/raising seem reasonable. I decided to flat since we do have some showdown value and want to have some flush draws that we play as check calls. Additionally, I don't think this is a board oop gets to check/raise all that often, as IP has a substantial range advantage.
Turn (463) Ah. Hero checks, V2 bets 150, hero calls.
My thoughts here were that this combo seems like a great slow-play candidate since we need almost no protection and have the board pretty locked up. I'm very unsure though, and would like to hear others' thoughts. We obviously have a ton of equity, so check/raising can't be too bad. V2's bet sizing also suggests he's betting a ton of his range here, so i'd assume that means we have to be check raising at some frequency. however, the ace is a much better card for V2's range than hero's, so maybe not? thoughts?
River (763) 8h. Hero checks, V2 bets 630 and is all-in. Hero?
