 Dominican resort casino, 2/5

Table is fairly loose passive, full of boozed up gambling types -- drew and I are the only half decent players.

SB is fairly loose preflop. limp/calls a ton, doesn't raise pre without maybe top 5%, calls tons of 3bets. Fairly loose passive postflop, I rarely see him raise without the near nuts, but he makes lots of calls in or out of position with marginal holdings.

CO is very similar, though I have seen him do strange things before, like raising UTG with 98s, then fire three weak barrels when he completely missed. That's pretty non-standard for him though. When facing aggression he's usually passive without the near nuts. He chased a gutshot vs me before with 96o on a 885 and powerminraised my turn shell when a 7 came. I folded my QQ & he showed.


Then this hand comes down. I believe effective stacks were roughly a little over $300 for the three of us. CO was maybe $50 short of that.

I'm in the HJ with & limp behind a couple limpers. CO limps, BU limps, SB limps BB checks.

Flop ($30):


SB leads for $15, hero raises to $50, CO raises to $100, SB shoves his remaining stack fairly quickly.


Because of combination math, Hero needs many draws to be in both villain's ranges to have good equity here.

You're up against a set or straight here an absurdly large % of the time.

Easy fold.

 I puke & fold.

SB flips the bottom of his range (bottom two), CO flips KJ. KJ? WTF?

I go on monkey tilt and adjust my reads on CO.

I still think it's an ok fold given how many combinations of straights there are vs combos of worse two pairs. Really surprised me that CO cold 3b there with TPGK after that action.
