I am watching Andrew´s series on bluff, I was thinking about this hand, if it was a good one or not, couldn´t figure V´s range properly, but seems V was weak and pot controling.

Poker Stars, $2 Buy-in (2,000/4,000 blinds, 600 ante) No Limit Hold’em Tournament, 9 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager – The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: 81,906 (20.5 bb)
BB: 48,864 (12.2 bb)
UTG+1: 151,060 (37.8 bb)
UTG+2: 281,985 (70.5 bb)
MP1: 72,485 (18.1 bb)
MP2: 77,865 (19.5 bb)
MP3: 161,875 (40.5 bb)
CO: 132,136 (33 bb)
Hero (BTN): 322,027 (80.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with J heart Q heart
UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls 4,000, 2 folds, MP3 calls 4,000, CO folds, Hero calls 4,000, SB completes, BB checks

Flop: (25,400) 7 heart 8 club 2 heart (5 players)
SB checks, BB bets 8,000, UTG+2 folds, MP3 raises to 20,000, Hero calls 20,000, 2 folds

Turn: (73,400) 7 club (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero bets 26,424, MP3 calls 26,424

River: (126,248) A diamond (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero bets 271,003 and is all-in?

I called flop because of the draw, and I thought maybe i could make V to fold Ax Kx maybe some pp; turn he shows weakness, so I fire to have about a pot size bet otr.

MP3’s flop raise iso with 5 in the pot and the donk bettor yet to act confuses me. I may not even have the best flush draw at this point, and my overcards may not be good if they hit (although SB having Q7/Q8/J7/J8 is less likely than if you had KQs and were worried about V having K7/K8).

When you cold call the raise, MP3 assumes you have something. (Then again why he raised only 2.5x if he didn’t have a set or 87 is confusing me—these types of hands don’t come up often with 5 in an unraised pot this late in the tournament.) When you bet so small you price him in to call the turn, but I understand what you’re saying about sizing. It also corroborates with a story that you have 88 or 22. But if he believes that, then the call should worry you because now it means he doesn’t have a flush or straight draw.

So that’s why I would check back the river. A worse hand won’t call. This is a good podcast hand. I can hear Marc yelling about all this (not necessarily because anything is wrong—Marc just yells a lot).
