Restraint? Hmmm, I can't say he shows much aptitude for that. Not going to be shocked to see 72 though.

I forgot about the 72 prop. With Crazy's range I still have to call.

Flop- I would have bet more here .. with 6 limpers in, including Mr. Crazy, bet larger & try to drag the pot right here...
Turn - Pot sized bet is ok .. Crazy may "think" from your betting thus far, that he can get you off an A/J A/Q & be semi bluff shoving ... You have to call & hope for the best
Do you put crazy on generally limping fairly often pre & UTG with Q/Q, J/J or 7/7 ?

You have $2 invested in a total pot of $12 and have flopped top two... you want to take it down now? I wouldn't even remotely consider the hand a win if I bet and it folds around.

I would have to call, though I wouldn't necessarily be excited to. I still have T9/KT in Crazy's range, but I'm actually bringing in AA and KK as well. The prop bet hand of 72 is possible, but I can't imagine him shoving once he hits trips and is fairly confident he has you beat. Likewise, QQ, JJ, or 77 just seem way too strong, but maybe we are giving him too much credit. This would fall outside my comfort level for jamming hands, but given the company, I would say that hero must shove and accept the fact that he may get stacked.

With 6 limpers and various players holdings like , say, AKc, AQd, pocket 3's, pocket kings, 7/9c, ( which you all currently beat), you still are less than 50% to win the hand post flop , & you also have a mr. crazy playing, makes a reasonable case to bet larger on the flop ..
I'm also ok with thinning the field rather than just dragging right there, but a larger flop bet would be ok here..

Crazy Jr rarely slow plays a big hand preflop. He might if in the middle of a contest for "who is the craziest of them all" at the table. Of course, he is crazy and as such could be doing anything.

I think we are staring down at a AQo or A10s giving crazy a spade flush draw. I'm probably way off here but if my math is correct your not getting correct pot odds to call here. Fold

 

[DrStrange]

Hero is ahead of everything but AA/KK/QQ/JJ and 7x

 

[Mr Tree]

Playing crazy is dancing with variance. We know he's capable of playing anything. I think this hand is another example of it. If we didn't know the player I sit this one down here but with the history we have with Crazy that just doesn't seem like he right move.

I wouldn't be shocked for him to table 7-2. I wouldn't be shocked for him to table AQ. Hell I wouldn't be shocked for him to table pocket 4s. Call.

The biggest scare to me is is un-crazy like behavior in this hand. It stinks of possible real strength.

Uhhh... what math is this? We are a big favorite against ATss and absolutely crushing AQo

 

[DrStrange]

Hey! Don't make fun of those pocket fours. It isn't this hand but Crazy Jr is going to spew a pile of chips hoping somehow his fours will win. And, Crazy Jr is sending Crafty home when he spikes a river four to make an unlikely full house after calling all-in needing one of two fours to win the pot.

So yes, pocket fours are absolutely in the villain's range.

As several people noted, this villain is too wildly aggressive to fold a "good" hand against. Top two is likely enough to be good, especially getting 3-1 pot odds. Hero calls.

Villain tables for the open ended straight draw. V I C T O R Y!

Well until the peels off on the river, giving villain the straight and the pot.

Still this is a "win" in the sense that Hero got every dollar in the pot as the favorite. This time villain caught his draw, but Hero's EV was huge - I'd love to play this type of hand as many times a session as possible and let the Poker Gods sort out the winners and losers.

Yup, K10 is solidly in Crazy's range. And as noted elsewhere his flop snap call telecast it. Lol love him shoving after a card came that could have made him drawing dead, but crazy gonna crazy.

 

[DrStrange]

As for the bet sizing on the flop and turn - - - Hero is sizing the bets to get all-in by the river without ever over betting the pot. When I asked Detroitdad about his $27 bet, it was because $27 sets up a slightly less than pot sized river bet and I wondered if that was his intention.

[DrStrange]

But I have to admit the turn shove has solid fold equity vs a lot of Hero's range.

You couldn't have played it much better. You put Crazy Jr in the same range most of us did. Binking his straight card against nearly 6:1 odds is shitty, but it happens. I hope you re-bought and felted him shortly after. Is there an epilogue to these scenarios? [emoji4]

 

[Mr Tree]

Probably a futile exercise but wonder what what Crazy was putting hero on. They all label you as a complete preflop nit so probably AQ.

My reply was a copy/paste error from other forum thread I was replying to. Totally different situation. My bad.

 

[DrStrange]

Hero never gets his hooks into Crazy Jr is a big way this session. Best hand vs that villain was KQ > KJ on a [ KJ8 ] Q 9 board for a $70 profit. He cashes out with $375 on a $660 buy-in.

Not to derail, but I give props to hero for pulling a $70 profit into that board against someone who felted him on a suckout in a previous hand.

It's practically impossible for Hero to show up with a boat here, but very possible for Crazy to show up with 7x. It's a good play by him (would be better if his image was SLIGHTLY less crazy...)

From Hero's perspective, this should be a snap call. The only scenarios where I can remotely imagine folding top two to Crazy involve 4-straights or 4-flushes on the board.
