Default 15/30: I cap preflop from SB, then check on a 4-way flop.

Juicy juicy table.

Button sat down for a few orbits, but looks decent.

UTG+1 is a 45/30 who raises very loosely, often any two from any position if he feels the table is playing tight enough.

His postflop is like this: Raise or c/r flop with 70% bottom or 2nd pair, 30% top pair or better. Raise or c/r turn with 75% top pair or better, 20% semi-bluffs, 5% pure air from tilting. In multiway pots, he'll semi-bluff less but I can see him doing it with a pair and flush draw.

CO is unknown but CCs PF from MP vs. the lag, so he can't be good.

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises</font>, CO calls, <font color="#cc0000">Button 3-bets</font>, SB folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero caps</font>, UTG+1 calls, CO calls, Button calls.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (16.67SB, 4 players)
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#cc0000">CO bets</font>, Button folds, Hero calls, UTG+1 calls.

I was strongly compelled to check the flop because I knew it was very likely my equity was &lt; 25%, and if I bet I didn't know how to respond to a raise from UTG+1 and cold-call or a call and raise. So I check with the intention of calling a single bet but fold to more than one.



Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (9.83BB, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, CO calls.

A good card, and I decide to donk to protect my hand from a gutshot.
If it gets to HU and it's raised, I call down.
If it goes bet, call, raise, or goes bet, raise, CC, I fold.

After calling the turn, UTG+1's hand range is a diamond with no pair about 95% of the time because he never waits until the river to raise with a made hand. I'm still unsure on the unknown CO.

Need value, so bet. Need sanity, so bet/call vs. unknown and lag. This includes overcalling a single bet.
