Was just about to post that is near enough pot. And probably not a bluff due to sizing.
Still flicking it in though unless I get a read in game.

Not saying this is a hero call btw. Just that i have seen alot of very loose calls on dangerous boards that have been good the vast majority of the time. The way this hand has played just flick it in and if you are beat hopefully take something away from the hand to use next time you play him.

Have witnessed multiple hero calls over the past few days.
So can only imagine you call. River seems like the only significant
Bet. Did he speak during the hand? Hoe comfortable was he while
betting the river?.

Deucescracked has some excellent math videos so you could go down that road.
The op is not that specific and convoluted. Good luck working on Theory.

25/25. £200+20 buy in. Day 1b. 5 minutes left of level 9 of 10 for the day. Blinds 600/1,200/100. Eight handed.

We have 50k, which is about average.

UTG (43k) has been active of late, managing to pretty much double up without showing a card in the last couple of orbits. Early thirties, lives reasonably locally and has spoken a reasonable game. He opens to the table standard of 3,000.

Folded to the button, which is me. I have  and have a tight image. I decide to call. Blinds fold. (8,600 in the pot)

Flop 

He bets 3,500. I call. He is stoic and is holding his cards together with both hands, fingers spread and facing fully forwards. No eye contact. (15,600)

Turn 

He thinks for a while. Maybe 10 seconds. Now bets 6,800. I decide if I was good on the flop, I'm good on the turn, so call again. (29,200)

River 

He dwells again for about ten seconds, before shoving (about the pot, if you're keeping track). He's not superconfident and he's not trying to deceive me with his body language.

I decide to call and he shows 

Having essentially dumped an average stack into the guy's lap, I'm contemplating whether I should have done what the little guy on the other shoulder was telling me to do and fold. I was convinced he didn't have AA/KK or better but he wasn't showing me any real weakness. I wonder whether curiosity has done me.

My final reasoning was: it's AT/JJ or I'm ahead. Getting 2:1, it was the right call to make and the fact I'm now grumpily sitting in the bar is just results-oriented misery.

Fire away!

Refreshing to read such a well written PHA.

Check Jam flop or just open Jam he might put you on a flush or actually have a draw himself
then it is happy days. Do both really quick which will really have him wondering.

Second hand we could argue for a fold pre. When he mins us back from a 20bb stack that's not really an ideal result at
these stack sizes so we can still pass here again. A4s has not changed a great deal on the flop so again I can find a fold here
should we get this far.

If you are not so confidant playing AQs then I would just make life easy and pass up this spot. 35bbs is a healthy stack so we
can bide our time somewhat still. Kind of depends on skill level and general postflop aggression of both yourself and the opponents (not something you lack)

Just read through up to the first hand. Could you fill us in a little more if you can recall the stacksizes
some more please. The UTG opener for instance whats his stack. Any big stacks behind? I see the 8bb and the 13bb
players get it in.

If there are no big stacks we can just Jam the first hand I feel.

As an aside I would raise a little larger with antes in play 2.5x
checked the guy on OPR would say from that he is probably not making moves
as this was a big buyin for him. Not a bad recreational player.

Probably going to get shot down for this, but I really don't like this 3b pre, just not sure what you're trying to achieve with it. Also wouldn't check flop vs a random, can get flop and turn from a bunch of draws rather than just getting one street. Can have better hands to balance our check/folding and check/continuing ranges on this texture.

Fully agree pre flop.

Really need to post reads when you post a hand.

Something that seems to be lacking in a good number of posts.

Basically you want to describe play in terms of what they are doing, what they are thinking or you.
On a practical level it could be that people have an overreliance on a HUD and just a general failure to
take good notes. Maybe this stems from mass-multitabling and simply overlooking the significance of events.
This will handicap your ability to make good reads.

So much information is available even in a short time at the table. And to comment with any worth on a hand
the vast majority of the time some kind of read is simply imperative.

Interesting hand especially with so the number of players in the pot.
Personally I like the call on the turn its the river spot in this hand
that seems key. Jam here does seem like the play have to agree.
Can see the merits of calling. We jam and either don't have to show
our hand or the other player lumps it in. You never know.

Shit just got cereal real.

Fyp

Nice work :-)

So we can/should avoid this guy until the bubble bursts right?. Then we can take care of him.

I took care of him alright. KK vs AQ on Q high flop sent him packing in 8th!

He got re-pwned baaaad.

Yessssss
