1/2 3bet and basically whiff vs. bad players
1/2, 10-handed. Most of the table is loose/passive pre then tight and sometimes sticky post. There is a decent player to my left.
V1 (~$300), SB: Late 30s WG. Extremely wide pre and will chase anything, but usually bets/raises if he has a big hand. A few weeks ago he hit every draw against me (calling 3bets pre w/ 23 suited, etc.), had a big stack, and lost it all on the last bomb pot of the night. The next time I played him I took him to value town for about $300 for the night.
HH from last night: I (cover) raise CO to $12 w/ AJ, BTN calls, V1 min-raises from SB to $24, I 3bet to $75, BTN folds, V1 calls. Flop: 2c8h9d, he checks, I bet $100. Turn 8d, he checks, I go all in for his last ~$150. He calls, river is a low card and MHIG (he has QdTh).
V2 ($175 - $200) MP: OWG (a little older than I). He calls wide pre but a bit tighter (AX, face cards, small pairs, suited connectors, etc.). Rarely raises pre and is pretty passive. Just an average guy playing poker for a night out. Buys in for $200 and might top off $100 if he gets under $50 and buy back for $100, but that’s about it for him.
H (covers) OWW (55), CO: Tight aggressive, raises more than most and 3bets more than most (usually more than anyone, but V1 loves to min-raise 3bet), drinking wine, talkative. They know I like to gamble, play bigger pots, and play PLO, but they don’t adjust except for one older guy who’s not in this pot.
OTTH:
BTN straddles $10, SB and three other callers, mainly tight and just want to see a flop, including V2. H has KsJs and raises to $75, V1 and V2 call. V1 could have anything; V2 I range a bit higher now.
Flop (~$250): 8sQcAc, checks to Hero? Bet or check knowing V1 will chase anything and V2 only has ~$100 (now I can see it’s $106).
Not meaning to be crass, but I just don't understand any of this: the need for multi-sentence player takes and HHS, no one has any money you just put it all in with anything that resembles your texture. I have to come back to this forum and read this it's the most tilting thing I have absorbed in nearly 3 months.
You're in a game where some putz has AJ and has to say something after the hand? Cmon now.
Oh my, you have been away for awhile... Things have gotten...more verbose.
It's good to see you back. Even without the unusually pale redhead avvy.

Hmmm. What? Maybe you should go away again to keep your sanity 😉
