Poor Runout or Poor Play?
1/2 Sunday Afternoon - 60-300 BI
Table Dynamics - Relatively loose pf table, but plays much tighter post. Opens with multiple callers going to a flop is common. 10-15 dollar opens will get 4-5 players.
V1 - Mid 40s asian male. Relatively tight, solid. Won't pile in money unless he has the goods or a strong draw. Will open limp a decent amount, but will fold pf to opens, etc. Always BU straddles, and UTG straddles. H covers barely ~450 effective
OTTH -
V1 has BU straddle on and H is first to act in SB. H has 9h9d and just calls the five (prob could see an open, but didnt want to play a MW pot OOP. Only two others call and BU checks his option.
Flop (20ish)
Ts9s7c
H bets 20, f, call, V calls
Turn (80ish)
Ts9s7c8s
Prob the worst card for H so he x, x, V bets 30, H calls, fold
River (140ish)
Ts9s7c8s6d
Hx, V bets 75, H?

Never calling river hoping for a chop. Lots of flushes in Vs range, as well as random Js.
I'm ambivalent about pre, as we are likely going to be MW OOP either way. Having the initiative would be nice, but bloating the pot with a medium PP OOP isn't a great result. Flop is fine, and I guess I call turn too, given the nice price to try to boat up.
PRE - I guess limping in the SB is okay in this set-up. But generally I prefer to open, if only to be able to rep a stronger range post.
FLOP - OOP to three opponents on this super connected board, I'd just check, confident someone is going to stab at it if they have any piece. Depending on the bet size, we can call or raise.
TURN - yuck. Just check-call and pray to boat up.
RIVER - seems like this is just a brick. We were already losing to Jx and flushes. Suppose it's possible V is trying to bet us off a chop, but this sizing makes that seem less likely. Looks like he's just going for value. Pretty trivial fold.
