I am sat 400bbs deep, villain has around 300bbs

Villain is a niity chinese guy, plays quite alot of hands, but doesnt put alot of money into the pot much. Hasn't played a hand for about 90 minutes and recent convo has shown his frsutration. Called a £22 open with  Ahrt 9h previously, but folded a flush on a paired board, after villain numero two, called from sb, led flop, c/c when flush came then led river when board paired.

Full ring, I straddle to £4

Villain limps button
SB folds
BB completes
Hero raises to £15 from straddle w/ Qd Jd  - both call.

Flop is

 Kd Qh  7h  

BB checks
I bet £20
Villain calls
BB folds

turn is  Ts

I bet £37
He calls

River is  7d

He bets £135

Hero? / why.

Also thoughts on turn bet?

Does not compute

nitty as in wont put his stack in, but limps alot of weird hands like Ace-rag, not sure on exact title!

Is this at aspers, and is villain called sunny?

Bet more on the flop and turn, fold now for me.

yeah, not sure who he is.

didnt think there was chinese nits except me

Fold, villain is the best.

Did he bet out of turn on the river or did you check?

check.

hmmm a lot of draws missed, might have to call here in the absence of other info.

Raised pre to get HU w/ the chinese guy.

In this game most people keep their £25 chips and bet lots of £5 chips. He used all £25 chips and was tapping his cards up and down on the felt ( i couldnt see a peak ) but kept quiet as I muttered "this is so sick".

Can he only ever have 7x or a bluff here? and does he call the turn with 7x? Q7ss, K7ss only hands which make sense that arent in that range. I doubt he bets so big with a full house and I don't think he ever has Kx when he bets like this so my hand is theoreticaly aces right?

Sigh

So so close to getting a plus one from JK! If only I had commented on the small pre flop raise.

Must try harder.

With a middle pair and every backdoor draw in the book, against a guy who is more likely to take a free card with draws (given your description) i think i prefer checking the flop or turn. As it is you've bloated the pot with a meh hand now needing to search for the hero inside yourself.

As played i'd probably snap i don't give these live fellas credit for value betting nearly thinly enough and is likely to be polarised. Expect to see 89hh/9thh type hands, Only hand i can see him play this way is KT, i doubt this fishy bets KJ on the river.

disregard ^^^ didnt see it was 3 way to the flop. Id still flick it in as played OTR.

i'd make it more pre and certainly more on the flop for sure

and as played i'd be calling river but then i never fold

bet flop and turn a lot bigger, as played if he's 1/2 decent i expect to see v few bluffs. this deep jam is best, esp if its your regular game.

metaspew (patent pending)

what's worse/better for poker economy......BOTS or POKERFARM. discuss.

+1. Id defo raise pre ib more inclinded to make it £30 if he peels wide and folds flops a lot we want hin calling off as much as possible pre imo
also you have a really good hand lol. Barrel flop, Barrel turn for me.

As played like brammar says I call cos i literally hate folding, espcially live when they rep such thin value amd they probably doint VB half as thinly as they should. Having said this its probably one of those spots where you cant figure out exactly how he got you, with what hand, or where in the hand, but you know he has a better hand somehow....

Raise pre is bad.  The way this hand went down you have to call the river, the hand does not make sense for him unless he has precisely J9hh

I have to disagree with anti-raising pre comments, I actually think checking this back in the straddle is a mistake.

but raisaing 10x blinds seems to be inflating the pot abit too much. What would people recommend as a good raise size in the straddle after a btn limp and bb "complete".

£25 would be my magic number

If we were playing 400nl online and the btn limped and sb compelted you raise to $25 too yeah?

its completely different imo.  The situation here is that you a weak passive player limping, and another player repping zero stregnth, your hand flops extremely well and your in a perfect spot to squeeze. ALSO its a good to be seen as fairly LAG from your straddle because these pots are always going to be bigger.

Basically you're ISO'ing the weak passive guy, so you need to raise bigger.....and i cant believe the BB folded what a nit lol

Straddle raising is very different to big blind raising
Also there is one less person in your second scenario
I would make it $20 probs there

results?

I call as I don't think he's good enough to be value betting thin enough to make it a fold. And if he was he wouldn't be betting as much. he Mucked. Spoke to his this weekend and he said he had a straight and a flush draw.  Almost identical hand played out against same villain this weekend and he went to bluff the river then just sigh and Mucked lol...
