Squeeze

cardshark202

Went into the crown casino in Melbourne last night to have a shot at 5/10 NL, list was really long so I played some 2/5 NL. 500 max buyin was a bit of a sting.

Villain 1: Loose semi-aggro moron
Villain 2: Loves to show bluffs and make amazing reads
Villain 3: Partially retarded


Background hand: My image is super super super tight (I'm playing like 1 hand an hour), one or two limpers (including villain 2), villain 1 makes it $15 like he does every other hand (he's done this with J2 suited and the like), villain 3 calls as does another idiot station. I make it $100 from the SB, villain 2 asks how much i have left, i say about $390, he calls villain 1 calls, as does villain 3 and idiot station. Flop is J82r I push, they all fold after deliberation, two guys showing QTo and 97o. One guy says: "Irish must have aces or kings".

Another hand involving villain 2 is when he bet and called a small raise from a tight asian dude on a 743 board with 2 spades, check check blank turn. River As, villain 2 bets $350, asian dude folds, villain 1 shows red J9o

Anyway to this hand:

The table:

Villain 1: $400
Villain 2: $900
Villain 3: $850
Me: $800

One or two limpers, villain 1 makes it $15, villain 2 calls, I make it $75 from the button, villain 2 calls, as do villain 1 and villain 3. I have A8o.

Flop ($300) Kc Ts 4s.
Checked to me I bet $200, villain 2 thinks for a good while and calls, villain 2 folds, villain 3 spends about 5 minutes folding.

Turn ($700) Kc Ts 4s Th.
Villain 2 checks, I think and check.

River ($700) Kc Ts 4s Th Jd
Villain 2 checks, I shove for just over $500

Ill be in melbourne in a day or two. Kinda broke but im dying for a game. Been traveling and not playing the last 6 weeks so ive spent a tonne. In adelaide at the moment. Will have to start at 1/2NL and see what i can do before moving to 2/5NL.

Heading back to ireland in a week and ive yet to play in crown. Played everywhere else ive been.

Based on the hands you mentioned i like the push.

Really don't like this on a loose table. It's not a hand that plays well in a multi-way pot. I know you're playing off your image, but if I was making this move I'd prefer a starting hand that's capable of making a big well-disguised hand, e.g. I'd prefer to have T8s than A8o here.

The flop is a bad one to bluff, it hits so many hands and draws. I check here.

River, as played. To me here, your hand looks a lot like a bluff - continuation bet flop, check turn, and then making a last ditch attempt to win the pot on the river. It looks a lot like what it is. I'd be wondering if you had a big hand, why didn't you bet the turn? I wouldn't be confident of getting him to fold a king here with a less than pot-size bet. You're ahead of a missed flush draw anyway, I'm not sure what better hands you're getting to fold. Check behind.

you should definitely give up on the flop 4 way

You're the villain in this hand, right?
