I also don't agree with the flop check. If your range has villain 1 with an 8 then He is welcoming a bet to be able to check raise. He might flat but then make a sizable check raise on the turn. You are deep and need to build a pot with a big hand. 

Flatting the turn raise only leaves an oppertunity to get $105 in on the turn (if V2 doesnt fold). Luckily V2 reopens and allows for more moment to get in the pot. Rasing (instead kf calling) to like $110 allows for a pretty sizable river bet. 

But all this could have been accomplished with a 1/3-2/3 pot size bet in the flop to start to set up a river shove.

Thanks everyone. With pot odds and implied odds I thought this could be a call. I did fold in case you were wondering. Tight old man ends up with KK and cold caller mucks.

He was in the HJ so he had position on me. We are getting almost 4:1 you dont call looking to flop a nutted hand (trips, straights or flush)?

Post | ValHue posted in NLHE: Call or Fold to tight passive

I was playing a $2/$5 game at casino in Detroit. The table had been pretty loose and pretty passive. I was open raising about 15% of hands, and i'd been playing very aggressively. I have AQs in middle position and open to $20. An older gentleman probably in his 80's had been playing about 3+ hours with me at this table. He is extremely tight and extremely passive. He limps and calls but never raised pre-flop. Action is to him and he raises (for the first time) to $60 with about $450 back and I have him covered. I could narrow his range to AA or KK (even after the hand he mentions how he wouldn't re-raise with JJ). Action folds to a tighter Asian gentleman who calls two bets cold. He does this with most pairs and like AQs+. Action is back to me, do you make the call?

Comment | ValHue commented on 2/5 live fold or shove
I would expect he is most likely to raise those hands on the flop with such a wet board on the flop. He would raise your flop bets probably to something high like between $100-$125 to give your drawing hands a bad price. Again he has no information on you either. He might slow-play a straight but less likely with a flush-draw on the board. You are also not to deep only a little more than 100BB. If you were 200BB+ than I might flat the turn bet and turn my hand into a bluff catcher. Playing rivers dependently.

I would either call or jam back here. His range can also include things like over pairs and a lot of semi-bluffs. He could be trying to represent a strong Q in this situation floating your flop bet then going for a steal on the turn. He has no information on you either so it's hard to put you on a set with a 2/3 size flop bet. With the SPR being so favorable for a set and a and the chance he is on a semi-bluff I wouldn't fold in this spot. Based on information here I assigned his range as JJ+, 99, 66, AQs, AdTd+ (probably not AKs most of the time), Ad6d, KdQd, QdJd, QhJh, JdTd, JhTh, 87s, 7d6d, AQo. It is less likely for him to have things like overpairs because of the late timing of the raise. But because we know so little except that he called a 3x bet multiway preflop in position then I believe his range would be much wider than your description. This range gives you 77% equity on the turn and al signs would point to shove back.
