Flop Middle Set vs 3-way Action on Flop and Turn
Villian 1 is an older guy who plays straight forward. He calls with nut flush draws and bets when they come. He bets with made hands. He is up on the day.
Villian 2 is reg who does well in the game. He has $3,000 and in for $500. He plays pretty tight and has good cards when he is in hands. I dont have a history with him but we play a lot together. I see him get to showdown with good hands.
I have a loose winning image I think to half the table. The other half thinks I am nitty. I can steal pots vs certain players based on my image. Lines like Checking flop and betting turns in hands like AA4 flops I can take down a lot.
I have KsQs8d8s in the BB. Open limp $5 and a raise to $20 with 4 callers. I call.
Flop
Flop comes Kh8s2c
Villian 1 is SB and leads out for $65. I decide to flat thinking I have the best hand here. Villian 2 calls and others fold. I think that Villian 1 can have AA, KK, 22 here only. Not sure why he leads into the field without these kinds of hands on dry flops. I dont know what villian 2 has here but I would think AK, AK8, K82 type hands.
Turn
The turn is 9s. Villian 1 leads out for $80. He now either has KK or 22 or AA still and I think he is smart enough to slow down w AA. But sizing is so small on the turn that it could just be a blocker bet. I flat thinking I am either crushing or behind the only hand KK. I dont think the 9 changes anything with villian 1. After I flat, Villian 2 raises to $350. Now I am super interested in this hand and cant make sense of it at all. It crosses my mind that he can have 99 here. When the turn came, I noticed that he seemed highly interested and perked up a bit and watched V1 intently. Villian 1 tanks for a while and then folds. He had to have 22 here. Now the action is on me.
I cant make any sense of this hand. Villian 2 isnt good and IMO doesnt know how to value hands. Its possible that I think he is so basic and not good that he cant make moves. I have the obvious K blocker but I start to consider him having KK because I ran into a streak where when I had blockers, they always had the blocker set cards. The 9 also doesnt help me figure out his range. The 9 to me is as bad as an A coming I think. I start to consider hands that he has where he can have 99. Thats AA99, AK99, K992, K998. So I construct his possible range.
AA
KK
99
TJQK
9TJQ
AK98
K892
Thats pretty much all. He says "Ill show you" which isnt like him but I cant make a read on that. I know he does like me though and would show the nuts. I turn over a K and so does he. He turns over a 9 and I turn over a Q. He turns over an 8 and I turn over an 8. This is as far as we get.
Now what?
