Flush
ACR 10NL Blitz 6-max fast fold. Only have 5 hands on V so no reads.
Pre-flop is standard. Hero in BB with 85s. Folds to BN who RFI 2.5 BB and Hero flats.
Flop is connected and middle and low cards hit my range. Hero X and V bets about 3/4 pot which is a bit large for a cbet on this board IMHO.
Looks like V is strong, maybe TP or overpair and wants to shut it down before the flush comes in.
Hero has a piece of the board so calls. Solver has Hero's specific hand 82% call / 18% raise (3.5x).
Turn pairs the board and puts another FD out there. V sizes up and overbets pot. This card favors my range.
I read in Brokos' Optimal Poker that when the middle card pairs the OOP player should bet/raise as it favors her range.
This is spewy but Hero raises. V calls probably still ahead with Tx, JJ+ hoping that I dont have the 7 or a FD.
The river brings in the FDFD and the straight (89, 34). Boats in my range are possible 57, 67.
Similar to the last HH, Hero knows that a pair of fives cant be good given v's betting on flop & turn.
However with the X/R on turn and several draws coming in this is a scary board for something like Tx, JJ+
Hero decides to jam. Once again, not deep enough to really generate the FE I would probably see if I was jamming for a PSB or greater.
Laying V 2.5 : 1 which will likely see a call from QQ+. Hoping for ATo here ...
But I feel like I have no choice here and the runout favors my actions & range.
Thoughts?
