River Decision in the DTD £300

[badhaircut]

Setting - I am in Day 1B of the £100 k guranteed £300 DTD: Starting stack of 15,000 - blind levels of 40 mins on a 9 handed table

Table Dynamics - Table is pretty nitty (seriously nitty) with serial limpers and poor bb in traps 2,3,4 - I am in trap 9 - players to my right are pretty weak passive yet Lithuanian in seat 1 is a maniac - who was literally playing like 80/70 for the first 3 levels with near enough infinite aggression post flop yet has quieted down a lot in the last 2-3 levels since the first break

In the last 3 hands the Crazy Lithuanian has won a 90 bb pot with AA v AK then loses a large pot with aq to 22 on a 2 x q a board blind v blind ( so he is kind of steamy)

We have history where I have opened 2 or 3 times in mid late position and have taken down on cbet flops or by bet, betting and when he had flopped the nuts twice on me and had been extremely aggressive with his nuts holdings

Level 6 – Blinds are 200/400/25 (full ring)  i have about 21.5 k covering Serial Limper and am covered by the Crazy Lithuanian

I am in the Low Jack with [ ]

What is our best option in this spot?

[Ironside]

if you think he has the jack you check fold if you dont think he has the jack you value jam

welcome to the world of Vaidas Siruinas. very nice man and would sooner let him have my chips on that table than anyone else. always the chance they are coming back with intrest in better spots later.

[Solaris]

Why are you iso'ing with 22? I hate that. I would also check the turn with the intention to check/shove if he bets.

Think the river's a fml check/fold. I hate leading out so you're pretty much bluff-catching on the river. Could go check/check I guess but I'm never leading out in that spot personally.

WTF is the low jack?

hijack minus 1

Yeah not a major fan of the iso. Quite like a limp along pre to gave Vaidas the chance to make it 2400, get 3 calls from the limpers, then you can shove to fold him off the J4o and pick up about 10k risk free a lot of the time... also you can just set mine deeper if it limps rouind.

lo jack? Got what you deserved for calling it the lo jack.

^banter right?

No problem with the iso, no Vargas and he c bets wins 90% of the time

Vargas has an amazing ability to check behind with very big holdings! I've only played him once, but he did it 3 times to me. In cash games he does pay off thou. As such I'm jamming to get value from his 2 pr holdings and accepting my fate if he has a J

[smashedagain]

Vaidas is his name Guy but it is pronounced Vargas. he won a seat in the rebuy in the morning. had a load of rebuys but ended the re buy period chip leader on our table.

I don't like check folding against this opponent but he can easily check back hands that will call when we shove therefore shoving is obviously the best play imo.

I prob iso to like 1125 pre if I'm going to but I don't mind limping behind. I like flop/turn bet sizings for river shove.

[smashedagain]

ABC poker states idiots cant fold (idiots is my word and is obv a bit harsh). so wtf are we isoing here? noone folds they call and we have 22 pre. are we hoping that we get the call from 23 off which is the only hand we are dominating. in my world its about pot control and we have now needlessly inflated the pot against a guy who is going yum yum look at that nice pot. we never really know where we are against him and all we know is he aint gonna make life easy for us to win this pot. we are getting into bother when we hit a set. hope you can tell me you won but from what i know about the vilans game he could even have 10 2

[WotRTheChances]

with serial limpers and poor bb in traps 2,3,4

A) What is poor bb? .... may be obv, but not a forum reg
B) Is the guy in seat 3 a young little Irish sounding kid with glasses?
