Live $1/2 200 BBs Deep

[Dominick C]

Game is 8-Handed with lots of action thanks to hero's SUPER aggressive play for first orbit of game. But hero has been quiet for last few hours.

Effective Stacks ~$420

Villain in this hand seems fairly solid and aggressive.

Comments on all, but particularly on trn/rvr.

I'd rather just raise the turn since we don't want a 4th club coming out to kill our action. The first call might be fine but after the raise I think you should come over the top even though it looks fishy. Villain isn't going anywhere right now, so like pop it to 180 and shove river.

i think when he raises the turn against 2 players he has a pretty strong hand. you could try getting it in now but i liek your line cuz it looks like you have a big club and u missed on the river. im suprised he called. he must have had a pretty strong hand himself. i think straddling is -ev and i also think u are -ev in any game you play in
