10-handed limpfest 1/2NL game.Semi-loose big stack Luckbox Villian($800) raised a lot preflop and limped/called a lot with tons of weird shit. He is also capable of folding TPGKish hands in a big pot. Effective stack is $500 here. 4 limpers,big stack guy raised $12 on BT, sb who had $150 called, hero($500) called in BB with Four of Clubs Four of Hearts , 2 limp/callers.
flop($60): Six of Clubs Six of Hearts Three of Spades flop checked through
turn($60): Four of Spades sb bet $50, hero called, 2 folds, big stack guy on BT shoved all-in, sb insta called, hero ? I knew this guy wouldn't shove this deep without at least straight here. He actually played a bit straightforward the whole night even though he did play the trick a few times in some small pots. BTW, I'm a tight aggressive straightforward player in this card room. Also, That's some serious money for the majority of 1/2NL players IMO.

Maybe it's because I don't play very much NL anymore, but I don't understand your play here. You made a full house on the turn and have someone betting into you. Why are you slowplaying this? If you raise the sb's turn bet, it's almost perfect because it looks like it might be an attempt to buy the pot on a board that one suspects nobody really hit, or maybe you are semi-bluffing with a straight or flush draw that came on the turn. You may get calls from overpairs, straights, straight draws, flush draws, straight and flush or straight flush draws, or trips. Indeed, there's very few hands that beat you here (exactly 3, actually-- either of the remaining 6's with the 4 of diamonds, or the two remaining 6's for 4 of a kind).

That said, as played, I'm not folding this no matter what. Shove your chips in and pray they don't have you coolered.

sb who bet $50 on the turn is a short stack anyway and there are 3 ppl yet to act. Raising here looks ridiculously strong and probably folds out all those straight/flush draw/one pair hands blah blah. Also, its the perfect position to trap/backraise if somebody just hit straight or slow played trips. Hmmm, i just didnt expect him to shove this deep. Thats really serious money, i guess.

Well, if your line is "I'm way ahead, so I think I'll slowplay and invite someone to push their chips in", then you are really fearing the monsters under the bed if you then worry about calling once they do it!

And if your line is "I have a very strong hand, but I still may not be ahead, and I may have to fold if someone shoves their chips in", then (1) you are crazy, as there are only 3 hands in the entire universe that can beat you, but (2) you need to raise to protect your hand based on that read.

Either way, though, I'm happy to put my chips in the middle with this hand on this board all day long.

if you put someone who mega-overshoves the pot on a range of the immortal nuts or 2nd nuts only you are crazy. i wouldn't be shocked if he had AA here.

Discarding 6d4d pretty much amirite? So you're putting him on 6d6s exactly. Did he really overbet shove 66?
I wouldn't be surprised to see AA, 56, A6s... could be slowplaying 33

Not close.

In the past month I made two hero calls with overpairs live against some very scary lines on dry boards... I did talk myself into calling both times because I thought it was possible that they were turning TP into a bluff unknowingly - and that's what it was both times.
Live poker is weird.

I don't think I would necessarily raise the turn either unless I'm deep against the SB or at least 2 other players. If they're 100bb deep they'll have less than a psb on the river anyway, and by raising you're folding out draws that you want to keep in.

I like the call on the turn, why not suck more money from the 3 ppl left to act? They may even hit a straight or flush on the river then you get some serious money. I am never folding here. Seems like an overpair or a 6 to me.

I can only assume you losing the hand is giving you some crazy ideas about folding this hand here because I can't think of any other reason someone would think about folding this hand here.
