Hey guys.
Playing 1-2 NL. The villain and I have been battling for a few hours; he’s a crazy loose player in his mid30s. Before this hand took place, villain had 5-bet shove from the BB with K10o and won the hand. He also made a couple of unconventional plays that were very stupid, but he kept landing on his feet. Hence, I elected to play against him with this holding. Off to the hand.
> villain opens from HJ for $12 his stack: $900
> CO calls $12
> I’m on the button, I make it $40 with 9d5d. My stack: $650
> Folds around to villain he makes it $95. (he has been min raising light all night to play heads up pots)
> CO folds.
> I call. pot is: $202
> Flop is 5h5s7h. YAY!
> Uncharacteristically, he checks!
> I bet $110. He quickly calls and checks dark! Pot is: $422
> Turn is 10h. I check back. Trying to induce a river bluff.
> River is 9h. Board reads 5h5s7h10h9h.
> He checks again. Now he had 4-bet pre and checked all streets. Weird.
> I bet $150. I expect him to call with his high pairs and check raises me with his flushes.
> He thought for a few seconds then jammed $355 effective.
> I snap call.He shows pocket 10s for turning a full house. He said when he showed the winner “That’s why i let you chase your flush” ugh! & that’s why I hate 1-2.
What would you have done differently?
I mean, this is a pretty solid cooler, other than the fact that you were clearly going after this guy. We’ve all been there, but when he raised to $95 preflop, even if he’s playing aggressively, I don’t know if I want to see a flop with 5h-9h, even in position. I guess I probably would have let the 9-5 go preflop.
I don’t blame him for an almost-min-raise with 10s (so often going to be outflopped AND out of position). I can’t blame him for calling $110 post-flop into a $200 pot with an over pair with someone so clearly gunning for him; and I don’t think you could bet more than 1/2 pot on a flop board you SMASH like that.
After you hit trips on the flop, I don’t know how you get away from it – and by the time you get to the rivered full-house, you’re cooked. Such a wet board, he could have made an Ah-Xh flush and be bombing it. I think your fate was sealed on the river.
