Stealth hand vs lag

    Default Stealth hand vs lag

    $1/3NL. Hero has a tight image, has only shown down winners. Villain is the only LAG at the table but hasn't been a complete maniac. Effective stacks are $275.

    Mainly my question is about the turn, I think I screwed up that street. As played, is river ever a tough decision?

    Hero opens in EP to $9 with 46

    Short stack button calls leaving just $21 behind. LAG Villain calls in BB.

    Flop: $23 Q75

    Villain checks, Hero bets $21 to put button all in. Button insta-calls. Villain calls.

    Turn: $86 9

    Villain checks, Hero bets $45. Villain check-raises to $90.

    Hero, call or shove?

    As played: Hero calls, leaving $155 behind.

    River $266: 2 total brick

    Villain shoves. Hero is getting a bit under 3:1 on a call. But I take my time and look at Villain. He is super calm, moving his hands around his chips and cards a bit, but no blinking or rapid pulse or anything that would make me think he's weak. If anything, he looks strong.

    I'm really only beating a bluff -- I don't think sets, two pair, or even 86 bet like this. But at the same time, the pot odds are pretty darn good and I'm not playing 46 just to fold my hand when I hit. Villain does not have me on a flush, my hand looks like AQ+. He's played it a lot like a (better) flush, but is this ever a fold?

    So back to turn: lead more on turn and reraise all in after the check-raise, right?

    I called river and Villain showed AQ for TPTK turned into a bluff? I was flabbergasted. I feel like villain spewed on every street. He could have punished in the BB preflop, should have bet flop. The check-raise on the turn when the flush completes makes no sense to me.

    I tanked quite a while on the river but decided I wasn't good enough to fold, fortunately.

    So i have recently acquired the opportunity to get staked @ 1/2 nl at mohegan sun. This is the first time i have been sponsored by someone, and I hoping to hear some thoughts from anyone who is, or has staked at a live game before.

    No you can't fold that.
    I would have re-raised on the turn, but there is the risk of chasing villain away.

    I think 64s is a little wide in EP. Postflop seems fine/good
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    Never fold. Jam river. Too many river cards kill your action.
