Preflop: Hero is CO with J
, J
.
2 folds, MP1 raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, 1 fold, SB calls, 1 fold, MP1 calls.
SB is maniac and his stack is showing...MP1 is fairly new (about 20hands at this point) but he's showing signs of maniacism...My 3 bet was more to find out where he was at and because i had position.
Flop: (10 SB) 9
, 4, 7 (3 players)
SB checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, SB calls, MP1 calls.
I liked my overpair and the fact that it was checked to me (both players had shown tendancies towards Calling station when they don't hit)....
Turn: (6.50 BB) A
(3 players)
SB checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, SB calls, MP1 called.
The A made me a bit nervous, but it was checked to me...Their calls made me wonder...
I also thought that if I checked here, I would be forced to make a tough decision on the river...I also thought it would invite a bluff. SInce I wouldn't be surprised at a bluff from either SB or MP1 given what I seen to that point, I figured a bet here kept me in control of the hand and would make my river play easier.
River: (9.50 BB) 6
(3 players)
SB checks, MP1 checks, Hero checks.
I opted for the free showdown. While I knew it was possible for SB to call down with bottom pair, I just didn't have enough information on MP1. I didn't see MP1 calling with a hand that I beat...Thoughts?
Final Pot: 9.50 BB
