𝘿𝙀𝙀𝙋 1/2, measuring contest vs. drunk guy

How drunk is the villain? Has he been aggressive on hands? Has he been showing crap at showdown or been all over the board?

Default is to call.

I really hate when this happens - ready to leave with a nice win, then put in this situation: The extra big win just doesn’t seem to make up for the times you lose your stack on the way out.

Wishing that I had left before getting this hand, I would call, fist bump the guy with 22, and slide on out of there.

Everything really is bigger in Texas...jeez.

Just weirdly played by V. Keeps overcalling, not closing the action, except on the flop, where he basically minclicks. If he called 110 to him with 325 in the pot, at that point and ~925 effective with Hero after the call...

Well, poop. I wouldn't have thought V'd have odds to set mine here, but it looks like he did. So yep, 22/88 are in range. Probably not 8x---I want better IO and to be closing the action with something like 98s here---and probably yes to Axcc, though probably not AKcc.

Tbh, doesn't feel like a club draw when V could just call, or shove and see 2. My fish love the "postflop minclick of death" when nutted. Even though it's idiotic of V to let you off the hook if he's boated up already. Idiotic to get trashed while >500 bbs deep too though.

Venice's point on V's prior actions in the session is going to really influence what I do here. Honestly feel like folding though it's a gigantic error if V has anything but the 22 I think he does.

If you lose and you have no pressing matters to attend to, on this kind of table you just gotta rebuy and go at it again!

I’m all in

God bless Texas.

You're behind. Fold unless you've got more reads other than he is drunk (some players are not as drunk as they appear). You led out multi-way, V isn't minclicking a club draw and he isn't minclicking a bluff. Maybe it's JJ, but H looks like an overpair even to a Texas drunk. Yes, V has 98, 87, A8s in his range and guy who folded could have had 22 which makes a ton more sense to tank fold than 8x. 8x either snap calls or snap folds, nobody agonizes over it.

I wouldn't tell anyone because I wouldn't want to tarnish my image, but I'd fold like a nit. If V turns over some bluff or mucks the side pot, you got some information that tells you whether to reload some more time and play differently against V in the future.

kinda skimmed through this but you mention a player who folded pre scoffed at the board texture? That sounds like he folded an 8, making it much less likely the other guy has an 8. Nobody is raising a boat vs this kind of action on the flop, so what is his raising range? I dont think he even raises an 8, it's just unnecessary to get stacks in with as bloated as the pot is. Without reading V descriptions if anything this just sounds like someone who always punts their flush draws so I'd just go ahead and get it in with him.

I must say that even though I find play-out-of-the-rackers really annoying, it is kind of a boss move to just slide the whole rack into the middle of the table when you want to go all-in, which I did after a moment's contemplation.

Nice hand. Well played.

Sorry no replies. As I said in the other thread, Cloudflare has been especially cross with me for some reason.

As much as I dislike play-out-of-the-rackers, it is kind of a boss move to slide the whole damn rack into the middle when you want to go all-in, which I did after a moment's thought.
