Ok, so starting table of manc 1k event today. Table was pretty soft, and had like 5 limpers a pot on average.
One guy who i dont think i had ever played before (didnt recognise at all) was very active early, playing decent though (iso'ing limpers, value betting very well etc).
I hadnt played many hands and had no showdowns but had chipped to about 18k from 15k starting stack. (before hand my opponent had 19k-20k ish)
I open utg to 150 @ 25/50 with
.
It gets flatted by the most active player at the table, and the villain then makes it 600 on the button.
I 4bet it pretty quickly to 1850.
Villain SNAP peels my 4bet.
FLOP
yeh yeh, mbn etc
I bet 1500 at about 4k. (maybe too small IDK)
He beats me into the pot with a call ?!?!?!?!? SIGNIFICANT? am i ruleing out TT now as surely he at least considers raising?
TURN
I thought for a few seconds and checked. (maybe better to bet bet IDK). He snap bet 3K into about 7k. ?!??!?!
I called.
River
I checked, and he SNAP put all his chips in one pile and moved in for about 13k which is full pot. I have about 11-12k back.
Pretty sure every street can be played differently, but my thoughts at the time were that the only worse hands he can value shove are JJ and TT.. but the fact he snapped the flop (instead of at least tanking for a moment) meant i ruled out TT, and the fact he bet the turn instead if checking back, kinda meant i ruled out JJ (has to check back on turn?)
My flop bet was small and i guess he could have a random float, but surely i only beat a random float here?
Qx has to be a decent part of his range here IMO?
The fact he peeled my 4bet means i cant think he is good enough to be turning like
Jx into a bluff on the river. So i lose to flushes, and AQ.
While i was tanking the river (maybe 4 minutes) he called a clock on me which i was pretty annoyed about (its a £1k event, maybe 40 minutes into the comp, with a potential 38k pot at 25/50).
Is the clock call strong allways???
Spoke to middy, leknave and bram about this at dinner, and them guys are kinda split on the hand.. i dont post many hands here, but i think this hand is quite interesting as it can (arguably should) be played different on 1/2/3/4 streets!
Other factors are that the table is pretty soft and if i fold i still have over 200bb!
hmmmm??!?!?
