Hating life with TPTK
2/5 NLHE 8 handed.
Table is unusually short stacked and a lot of 1/3 players are trying their luck.
V1 - Loose passive player playing up from 1/3. 500$. BB.
V2 - TAG/LAG winning player. Plays as high as 10/20 live. I've seen his graph and he's crushing 1/3. Not sure about 2/5 but at this table he's probably the best player. He knows all the usual strategy and can bluff, read the board, x/r light etc etc. That said, he levels himself. He comes down from 10/20 and talks about how "I unblock the 2nd nuts so I have to raise/fold!" as some guy does something he deems stupid when no one is really thinking on that level. CO. Covers.
H - V2 has called me somewhat tight but not overly so. We don't have a lot of hours together. 830$. HJ.
---
Folds to H who opens A♦ Q♦ to 15, V2 to 50, V1 cold calls, H calls. 3-ways 2nd to act.
Flop 150 - A♥ K♠ 2♥
V1 checks, H checks, V2 bets 75, V1 folds, H calls
Turn 300 - 8♠
H checks, V2 bets 175, H tank calls (?)
River (530 back) 650 - K♥
Hero? What are you doing if he jams here? What are you doing if river were a brick like a 4♦ and V2 jammed?
Not sure why you're responding that way, unless you two have some history of antagonism here. His response to your question was accurate.
Interested to see the results of the hand.
FWIW, and should have been mentioned earlier - this whole hand gets easier if we 4B pre, c-bet flop, and bomb the turn. Under-repping your hand pre kind of put you into a box by the river.
I know it was accurate I was agreeing. Not being antagonistic whatsoever, it was really a great post.

Spoiler
Hero checks river on the K♥ and V hems and haws and decides that's an awful card for him. Checks back and mucks showing 77. Says he was going to pound it with any brick.
Later I realized he was 3-betting way too often and I should have 4-bet AQs for value but I'm not sure how this frequency changes with a loose passive caller up front... if it becomes closer to a 4-bet or closer to a flat call vs HU? I should add this loose passive in the blinds could conceivably have AK.
Ho. Lee. $h1t. This guy is beyond aggro.
Would have been interesting to see how he'd respond if you block bet. If he's got the cojones to raise as a bluff, I don't think I could play with him.
I like a 4B better pre, when he's super aggro and you've got flat callers you can squeeze out. Rather be HU and IP with the flat caller in the blinds, but don't mind getting HU with the wild man.
