Sitting Out
Today I am in my hometown and decided to check it out on a poker club I had never been to. It’s not a fancy place, players are loud and somethings seem to be amateur-ish. And that looks like a great opportunity to play some cards.
Game is NLHE 1/1 (they only run 1/1 and 2/5 for whatever reason). I had been at the table for an hour or so, playing TAG and winning some good pots. Table is running ultra loose and somewhat passively. 6-way pots are very common. Pre flop opens are running anywhere from 4x to 10x. I don’t have any specific reads on the villain, besides the general table read. Didn’t see him too out of line, either. To the hand...
Effective stacks: ~$160
I have AcAh
UTG raises to $8
Villain calls $8
Fold, fold
Hero makes it $31
Fold all the way to villain
Villain calls
Flop: Td5s3c (pot: $70)
Villain checks
Hero bets $31
Villain tanks and calls
Turn: Td5s3cTs (pot: $132)
Villain thinks for 30 seconds and goes all in for $97
Hero???
How many tens are in his range? Does he ever do that as a semi-bluff waiting for the flush? Does he ever shove JJ-QQ? With the odds I’m getting, I need to win 30% of the time. Can I do that?

As a sidenote, they have what are probably the ugliest chips I have ever seen. Look at that!

After a few seconds I called and he showed ATo, and took the hand down...
