A little background on the main players. AG has just joined the table and has been very active. The table pretty much sucks and hes aggressively betting, raising limpers, continuation betting large etc. Basically he's playing like a good online player would. The other main opponent is TRAG, hes tricky, loose, and aggro. We haven't really mixed it up too much. He did raise one of my river bets on a board with 3 5s on it, I wound up folding a boat. He has shown a tendancy to call flops light in heads up pots. He has also limp-reraised a lot of big hands, mostly pocket pairs, but he has also done it with AQ.

AG had just stacked off wtih top two to a set and rebought for a full 200. TRAG is sitting with 330, I have 400 infront. 1/2 8 handed.


Hero post sb and has
AG is UTG and raises to $7
5 callers
TRAG calls from the CO
Hero completes

Flop pot $57
Hero checks
UTG bets $35
folds to TRAG who calls $35
Hero calls $35 (after talking to mixchange i realize this is a huge mistake and I am nowhere near getting implied odds)

Turn
checked through

River pot $162
I lead for $120 (looking back this is probably too large and a smaller bet would be much better)
UTG thinks and folds
TRAG shoves, 170 to call.

I'm a station and I call.


Any thoughts on any streets, affirming what I have noticed or anything new?

i don't think its a very deep stack poker especailly in live 1-2 nl games( effective stack less than $350 here). Your flop calling was really horrible considering that you didnt have any decent imply odds to do so. As played, you should make some crying call after betting $120. In my opinion, $60-80 probably got the job done and left yourself some exit strategy.

This hand isn't deep and you're probably not good here very often.

Yea, during the hand it seemed like we were deeper but when running the numbers from memory it didn't add up so I decreased his stack size. I originally thought he had me covered.....I guess thats one of my mistakes is not paying close enough attention. So Fnord can you find a fold here on the river or are we priced in? As played ignoring the horrible flop call what line do you take with the river? I think bet/call or bet/fold are the only reasonable ones. Is a half pot river bet here better so we can fold to a raise?

 I'm sure this makes me sound like the micro NL fish I am, but discounting not having odds to call on flop, how are you so sure you are beat?

I'm assuming you're putting him on a boat, but what about that line makes you so sure?

I'm not doubting you, I'd just go broke every time here if he has a full house (maybe a good reason I don't play for that much)

I would certainly bet, probably a smaller bet to get a wide range of hands to look us up, as it looks like we're up against some weak hands. Call vs Fold depends on a lot of things. I don't hate a call if he'll get out of line on the river. Although it certainly looks like a slow play and not a bluff line.
