Mixing it up from the BB (1-2-3)

[Jesse Johnson]

Table Dynamics- A lot of limp-folding to raises. Relatively tight with rarely any 3-betting occurring pre flop.

I’m in the BB facing 4 limpers coming from the Lowjack,Cutoff,Button, and SB. I decide to bump it to $18 with 5s7s and approximately $345 behind. Lowjack folds, Cutoff calls with approximately $270 behind. Button and SB both fold.

Heads up to a flop of

9d 5h 4c

Hero: Leads out for $25.
Villian: Calls

Turn
7d
Board(9d 5h 4c 7d)

Hero: Checks
Villian: Bets $65
Hero: Check-Raises All in
Villian: (Tanks)
Hero: Happy that he tanks
Villian: Ends up…with a call

River
Jh
Board (9d 5h 4c 7d Jh)

Hero: two pair
Villian: Turns over 8c10s for a rivered straight.

Concluding thoughts: Villian had only been at the table for a couple of orbits so I was unaware of certain tendencies. I believe my image was beginning to form into more of a LAG at the table as I would frequently raise and moderately 3-bet preflop. (Although my showdowns consisted of solid hands more in the premium range). I might have overplayed my 2 pair? I thought I successfully trapped the Villian after sensing weakness on the turn. I suppose the only thing I was worried about at the time was a set of 4’s or possibly 9’s. I put him more on a range of J9+ or overs that he limped with? I feel as of I played it too aggro, but then again it was 6am and I was slightly tired/tilted. Any feedback and analysis is welcomed. Much to learn. Thanks!

You did play it aggro, but got it in good, so nicely done. His range should not have consisted of 8 – 10 off pre flop for an extra $16. Nor should he have called $180 more on the turn with a draw and one card to come. But hat’s what you get (and what you want) from $1 – 2, especially at 6 a.m.!
