I am an unknown so I'm sure my UTG raise represents strength, marinersheep is the one player at the table who I don't want to be calling me, especially from the button. I am already regretting not shoving it preflop when he calls, since the blinds are significant and each pay jump is exponentially increasing the size of my bankroll seeing as i'm a low limit grinder who won a satellite and played the mil.



*** FLOP *** [Qc 9c Js]


as if things werent bad enough I miss the flop completely. There isnt a single hand im beating that he would flat me with. i decide to continue through with the hand though, since I did raise utg and maybe being a complete unknown will get me some respect. I decide to under-bet the pot in order to feign strength while at the same time allow myself to get away from a shove. I do this all very quickly, not using the time bank making it look like all of my other bets where I had a hand.

TheLipoFund: bets 60000
Marinersheep: raises 382484 to 442484 and is all-in

Just as I feared, he fired back at me. I timebank on the decision knowing I will throw it away. The only thing I see myself beating is AT, and I doubt he would flat preflop there with such a marginal hand.



TheLipoFund: folds


I fold after losing about half of my stack and bust a few hands later 77vAK.


So in my spot, I have a few questions, since you all have a lot more experience than me, and know marinersheep's playing style more than I do. Given my preflop raise which was larger than the standard 2.5x (raised 3 hoping for shove), and an experienced donkamenter flatting the button, what can we put him on here? Is it always QQ or a hand of similar strength? Can I check fold that flop given my pf raise from utg?



thanks in advance
