[Post-Oak]

Villain #1 is UTG. He is a bad calling station preflop. He is better after the flop, but still pretty much a calling station. He's not horrible, except when he tilts. He just calls too much (especially preflop). He views me as tight.

Villain #2 is a new player who is unknown to me.

Blinds are $10-$25. Both villains have $5-6K stacks and I cover.

Villain 1 limps UTG (he has a very wide range here), there are 2 more limpers, Villain 2 limps in the cutoff, and I limp on the button with 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB completes, BB checks.

Blinds check, Villain #1 bets $125, folded to Villain #2 who calls, I make it $550. Blinds fold, both Villains call pretty quickly!

Both villains check. At this point, I still think Villain #1 can have a weak hand like top pair. He is a station. Villain #2 is kind of worrying me with his overcall. Maybe he is on the straight draw too, or maybe he has a hand like top two? I suppose it is also possible that he is slow playing a set, because there is no flush draw out there.

I check (?)

Both players again check! Villain #1 is bad and probably just has a ten. I am not sure what kind of hand Villain #2 can be playing like this. If he hit his straight draw, I think he would bet here with the nuts (of course he could have whiffed with the same draw I had). It's possible he does have two pair or a set here, and didn't bet because he put me on a straight draw after I checked the turn. Or maybe he is just another station who doesn't realize how bad overcalling on the flop is with a marginal hand.

I bet $1600.
