$5/$10 live ~$1k effective

BB - 40/80 limit player who plays wayyy too many hands pre-flop and has gotten rather spewy of late. I play with him a lot. He's a little timid around me because I've won a lot of money off of him.

Straddle - Very loose and stabby. Gives zero respect to continuation bets on boards without an Ace King or Queen. Probably less stabby for big money.

Folds to me on the CO and I open :Js: :Tc: for $60. I usually open for less, but BB/Straddle are calling $60 with a very wide range.

BB calls, Straddle calls.
~$180 in the pot.




Checked to me and I check behind.



BB checks, Straddle bets $100....

My range is super-weak here, his range has some stronger hands in it, but is generally full of bullshit.

What's my plan for the rest of the hand?

I would just call because its cheap and play abc, perhaps bluff an ace or king maybe club and hope he folds his air.

call and just give up if river comes 2-6/8 usually while betting any other river if checked to.
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

This is a pretty good board to cbet, and looks even stronger into two players. Tons of good barrel cards for you as well (any 9+ practically).

Easy call on turn and depending on river you can play accordingly.

I have noticed that 1 sentence is enough to discuss a hand for everyone at high stakes.
