AQ up the wazoo

[drzen]

Villain1 calls down with anything. Villain2 is aggressive and will bet any draw and most pairs. I've noticed though that he'll call a raise if he doesn't have a made hand. He's willing to bluff quite liberally too.


My strategy with this flop is to raise and induce a fold or two. On V2's three-bet, I figure him for something strong. On this coordinated board, I'm really not liking my hand much. I like it a little bit more on the turn. I'm probably behind to a flush now and of course the flopped straight could be there, but at least I have outs to the boat.

The river was horrible, but with my read on Villain2, I figured I had to call even though I'm nearly always beaten by him. I've taken to discounting all-in players because so often the fish will go all-in with completely random [censored] because it's their last dollar so I ignored the all-in guy. When the other guy raised, I was done though. The only question for me was whether I should have folded to the first bet, given that I didn't close the action, or was it worth risking that bet?

fold the river. with 3 opponents, the chances that one of them has a spade would be pretty high. you're almost never a winner with this hand, but if you like to gamble, by all means call
