25 Max, live, 4 handed.

Villian 1, $40, Loose-passive or Loose Aggressive player, depending on what he feels like. He's really pretty bad. He makes horrible calls a lot, and is pretty much just here to gamble.

Villian 2, $3.25, Just busted and we let him rebuy for 4, he's leaving after this hand and is not known as an angle shooter at all.

Me, $26, I've been playing really snug tonight and haven't really shown down anything but the best hands except when I've called a few river bets when V1 3 outed me on the river.

UTG folds, I have A 10 and make a standard raise to $1. V2 says alright I'm leaving and moves all-in (I am positive it is not an angle shoot or anything, he really has to leave and has ATC all day).

Loose V1 overcalls. At this point, his range is infinite, but I feel like I have the best hand, so I just call.

Pot: 9.75
Flop: 6 7 6
V1 checks, I check.

Pot: 9.75
Turn: 9
V1 bets $5
Hero has 22.75 left.

Should I shove knowing that he is going to call me 90% of the time with pretty much any pair (he's that much of a maniac) and that he would never check trips on the flop? He also knows that I'm a habitual semi-bluffer. Should I call with basically no implied odds to hit it? At most I have about 17 outs if my overs are good. History with the villian: He bets tiny and meakly when he has a huge hand, like a boat. If he had a boat, he'd never bet $5, ever, period.

(As a side note, V2 is V1's college roomate and very good friend (me and V1 are also good friends but we've been fueding over poker lately) and it's even possible he's just betting me out with the intention of chopping the pot with V2)

Chopping? Does that mean he wins it and gives some to villain2 later? Or do you put them both on Ax (x<6)? Anyways, I like pushing here. I doubt he has a six, so we have a ton of outs.

If you're actually behind... we have a max of 18 outs which means about 36% to hit on the river... since we'll take into account the times where the 10 or the A is no good balancing out the times where you're already ahead.

so 5/19? sounds like a call.

Besides, u shouldn't be nice to the ultra short stack, he wants to leave

As in, he bets, I fold and V1 asks V2 to chop the pot. If 2 agrees, they split my money in front of me. My game is very underhanded in its tactics



If you mean, I called because I was being nice, that's not why I called. V1 would have instacalled me all-in with anything, and I was working on a limited bankroll and didn't feel like 60/40ing for most of the money I had with me.
