$1-3 NL – Freezer Session part 3 of 4

Game dynamics had changed a little, and players at the table were also playing musical chairs. Villain in this hand is a super-tight OMC and short stacked as well. The game was limped a lot so I was not worried about getting raised off my hand from early position.

Hero stack: 300
Hero hand: 76o
Hero position: UTG

Villain stack: 100
Villain hand: AKs
Villain position: SB

Preflop:
Hero open limps, MP limps, Cut raise to 23, V1 calls, hero calls, MP calls

Flop: 5s 4s Jc
V1 donks 25, hero calls, MP folds, Cut folds

Turn: 8h
V1 bets 35, hero calls

River: 10s
V1 all-in, hero calls

I opened limped with this hand because there was not much raising happening, and if there was a raise, I could still profitably call and see if I get some equity. The cut-off had us all covered and I thought it was to call his raise after V1 had called.

When V1 donk-bets. I took a minute to think about the spot. The thoughts I had were:
1) he’s very tight and lead into 3 other players
2) He likely has top-pair
3) I have decent equity here
3) The preflop raiser look like he was going to call – I still have implied odds if he calls

To my disappointment, the PFR folds. I hit my straight on the turn. V1 leads out again. I was pretty certain at this point he had top pair, so I decided to let him bet again on the river.

V1 goes all in on the river, it wasn’t much more and I snap thinking my hand was good. I was really surprised this super-tight OMC was capable of a two barrel semi-bluff, with his short stack. He hadn’t played a hand for about 5 orbits up to this point. Sadly, he then proceeded to continue to fold for an hour, and left.

I’m starting to hate players to buy in short, play only the nuts, get lucky, and leave.
