HJ is the recreational player. Bu is a LAG regular, seems like a decent hand reader that is very aggro across the board, and I feel I've done a lot of folding to his pressure in our history.

I think the flop bet is standard, given the recreational player. I did not expect 3 callers.

The UTG is a short stack, with a tight EP opening range. I feel his hand is now extremely face up as 44/55/some 99?.

The recreational player has a just a ton of stuff. From one pair, Ax gutters, 9Ts, 9Js, some overpairs, overcards with backdoors, pair and gutters, two pair, sets, up to the straight.

Bu has some 44, and 55,99,67s,45s,68s, 89s, 8Ts, (possibly 46s but that's a little loose even for a LAG) and maybe some TT,JJ he decided not to squeeze with. I feel the hands that beat me are going to get it in targetting the recreational player given he has already shown interest by the time it gets to him, and all the overcards/straight cards that could kill his action/have him beat.

FEELING GOOD XD

And then I boink a T. So the question is how do I get the most value considering I'm playing vs pretty weak ranges.

I think a bet is good considering the recreational player has shown interest. The T gives 99 an open ender, and 66 thee dumb end of a double gutter. The question is how much? I felt 2/3 was good given the weakness of my opponents ranges, but looking back I wonder if bigger would be better given so much interest and the fact I expceted the weaker player to call and pot odds to pull the other two in.

On the river, I think it's a pretty clear x/shove. What would ever x back that would call a shove/bet? 44 is unlikely to x back given from his position it looks like I have an overpair a lot. 8dTd is going to bet for value. The benefit is his pair + missed draws have the opportunity to fire. The downside is he may bet small and fold to a shove, expecting an overpair to take a x call line.

I'd also like to know how to not show the results/only up to the point I want if anybody knows how.

Just paste the hand up to the point you want to show action. Also, if you have street specific comments you can click add comment on that street, which will often make a long post easier to read.

The Bu is a LAG and the player between us is a fish. His range is capped because I believe he would get the money in with anything good on the flop given the potential for scare cards and the fish already showing interest.

I'll agree that the button is fairly likely to raise the flop with his stronger hands (not that he necessarily always should). That being said, the board isn't particularly scary and given stacks all the money gets in pretty easily without needing to raise at any point. So even though the button's range probably contains less of his nutted hands I'd be careful throwing the word "capped" around in spots like this, especially when deeper, as it can get you in a lot of trouble if misapplied. A better example of someone's range being capped would be if they opened the button, checked back a two tone flop and a flush card hit on the turn as almost no one checks back flush draws.

Thanks Dan! I'll try to work out a format that makes my posts easier to read while still including as much depth as possible. I really enjoy the why/depth in poker, and have no gamble gamble in me :D so my favourite posts are always in-depth posts with as complete a thought process as possible.
