BB special, pretty deep good regs table
1/3 around 8pm saturday 5 hours into session
9 handed community hand UTG straddle on for 11$ everyone calls Average stack 900$ smallest stack 400$ largest 3200$
If you read my other posts about this "feature table" I was calling it same villains as before and a bunch of very capable regs. so just assume everyone knows exactly what they are doing. Only going to focus on the few players that stayed in the hand.
V1 CO older 60's super tight NIT(playing strangely today actually saw him triple barrel bluff 5 times tonight and get away with it showed his hand in pride eff 3200$)
V2 MP 40's asian a bit reckless reg but has been getting there and is all about triple barrel bluffs. (1700$ eff)
V3 SB Younger 30's hoodie LAG almost maniac, but doesn't play post well. (590$ eff)
Hero BB 4h5d (850ish$ eff)
Flop 6h5s5h (pot $99)
V3 leads out 15$, Hero 80$, folds to V2 calls, V1 calls, V3 calls
Turn 9s (pot $419)
V3 x, Hero?

I began typing "Raising immediately feels more like 'I want to win this pot right now' vs. 'How can I win the most money?', and then I saw that 3 villains called the raise...LOL
Unfortunately, stack sizes are really awkward here. Your hand is vulnerable, but counting on a checkraise and then having it check through would suck huge.
Since V1 and V2 have larger stacks and may want to fight it out in a side pot, I'd just shove the turn.
Edit: I didn't realize you called a straddle with this garbage...shame on you.
Things at this table seem to get very interesting regardless of the flop on the turn almost every pre and ever flop your going to see a lot of very wild bets and 3! even 4!
I did find playing turn on almost any board even when I slapped the board hard to be a stack decision firing range. The wildest hand V (around 400$) I saw at the table so far was Ad, 7c, 4s rainbow 3 barrel bluff turn 8h, river 7d from a mid 30's woman very good player imo. Asian guy jammed river on her and she called with with 7hKd and won. She flipped too fast and he mucked. $850 or so pot won.
I'm pretty good at folding my BB, even giving the odds, and I would fold this.
Flop is fine. Turn sucks because one of the most obvious draws got there, and you have a terrible kicker. I guess bet ~$150 and see what transpires? Makes it look as if you are sucking them in.
How do your opponents see you?
We all are regulars on the weekends at this poker room just strange that all of us got to this table together(not a profitable table for certain, but I will play against good players once in a while to get better and try some things). I am usually seen as semi nitty but aggressive when I do play any hands, I am known to lean on weaker players. I've only shown down nutted hands tonight and ran two big bluffs 200-300$ pots that didn't get called down. I would say most players perceive me to only play a stronger range of the goods and pump the breaks if I don't connect with the board. Standard pre flop and c bet opens at this table do not apply at all average preflop action is typically at least 80$ which I think is pretty big for 1$/3$.
Fun fact players out of position at this table will open with 4 6 off for 60$
Bet half pot. Fold if you get raised big. Hope to boat up on river. If you don't, probably check-evaluate.
With this much flop action and a terrible turn card I am happy to check and abandon ship. I don’t see how we’re ahead.
update more to the hand...
EDIT Hero bets 225$, V2 calls, V1 calls, V3 folds
EDIT(pot $1094) RIVER 4h hero?
I cant even tell you how screwed up this spot is with two callers... advice on how to proceed? close my eyes and jam for max value? check raise? check call?
Sick. I honestly don't know what I'd do. Probably check/call because it's hard to believe they are calling w/ worse, but they might take a stab at it or bet a straight or hearts or maybe A5 (we hope). I'd have to really think about it if V1 bet...
Edit: Everyone, the 4h is on the river.
Edit again: V3 is the SB -- who folded? V1? If V1 folded, I'm calling a bet from V2 or V3.
Thank you I edited this.
