Default A somewhat deep stacked decision

I was going through my notes and I forgot to post this hand.

Bay101 $40 rebuy from a while ago. Right after the rebuy period, so stacks are still sorta deep. Players are still pretty terrible though.


I have been crazy during the rebuy period going all in preflop w/out looking a few times after a few allins. I have a stack of 25k. Blinds are 100-200 no antes.

Button villian is loose-passive. Likes to make bad flop calls in multiway hands w/ overcards and gives up on the turn when he doesn't hit. A raise from him preflop means two playable cards, a bet from him postflop means TP or better. A call means he hasn't folded yet. He also never believes me.

Two limpers in EP/MP and I get KK in the CO and peek left at the villian on the button. He looks perky, so I take a chance and limp behind.

He raises to 1k (he has ~28k), bb folds, one EP limper calls and it's on me.

I raise to 3500. He instacalls and limper looks bewildered and finally folds.

8300 in the pot and I have 21.5k left.

Flop is Q85r. I lead for 6k and he quietly calls somewhat quickly.

20k in the pot. Turn is a duece because the turn is always a duece on 2+2.

I have 15k left...what's my plan?

Also, I didn't know that Bay101 has NL games. I thought they were spread limit.

I see no need to get fancy here, as he probably has a hand like AQ (this and QQ seem to be the only hands that can call the flop so quickly).

I shove the turn, and expect to win a nice pot (whether or not I'm called).

They're called "Spread Limit", but the spread is wide enough to put a player all-in at any given point in time.

I think a loose passive calls w/ AQ, 88, 55 pre. He is content to let you bet his set of Qs. I would rather be weak-tight and c/f turn than call off 75bb w/overpair. I do not see him floating JJ here with your 3bet preflop.

If he never believes you, you can check the turn because he'll call a river push with JJ but not a turn push.

He's a calling station and your description suggests he's not particularly good, especially with deep stacks. I figure this means he's calling with a number of worse hands. As such, I'm felting KK here. Pushing the turn seems like the most standard, straightforward way to accomplish it.

This defies everything about villain as he's described.

Soss, I think a push is fine, but the board is super dry, so I kinda like a check, because it gives him a better chance to commit with a worse hand. I'm not folding.

Check, planning to c/c, shove river if he checks behind. And you cannot get away from this hand against the described villain unless he has a massive tell.

Purpose of the check is so to increase likelihood he calls w/ any pair he called flop w/.
