Live 1-2 with a donkey in the middle.
The game is now 7 handed after a donkey or two left. We have been playing for a couple of hours at a reasonably large casino in the UK. The main villain in the hand is a young Chinese dude who plays live for a living (I see him at a lot of tournaments at various casinos, he doesn’t have a job or anything) and a total drooler i.e. calling off ¼ of his stack pf with JTs etc. The decent dude plays well enough for a live player but can become restless/bored after prolonged play, and plays in a somewhat straightforward manner.
My stack: $300. Villain: Covers. Drooler: ~180. Drooler limps is EP, another caller, I raise to 14 in the CO with T9d. Villain glances at me and calls in the BB, as does the drooler, other limper folds. 3 to the flop. Pot = ~$46. Flop: 78Qr. Checked to me, I bet $32, both call. Turn: Some brick, check-check and I choose to check. (The turn also brings a spade flush draw). Pot = ~$142 River Js, completing the backdoor spade draw. Decent Chinese lad bets $75, idiot calls, easy value shove or call?? Fwiw I am not worried about the drooler calling, he can easily have a crappy Q or a J here. |

Re: Live 1-2 with a donkey in the middle.
I'd be "worrying" specifically about the drooler. The decent player could easily be stealing given the action (looks like folks are giving up), or just vbetting 2pair/set on a missed turn c/r. The drooler will pay you off with *whatever* here with the pot so big, so I would definitely go all in.
Edit: wait maybe not push - didn't notice the 300 effective. perhaps a minraise looking for overcalls - either way raise. |

Hi FS,
The donkey almost never has a flush here with this action fwiw unless he is trying to get me to overcall as the decent dude will fold most of his range if raised on the river apart from strong flushes/maybe sets, which I'm sure he isn't since he is a donkey. |

The girl in your avatar is hot.
Just call the river. If you get raised by the chinese dude you have to fold, as he never expects the drooler to fold. He would easily check a turned FD OOP to keep himself from getting bet out of the hand. |
