Got into a strange spot today with my mate Rob who plays a lot of live...
UTG straddles to £1, 2 callers (both randoms) then Rob calls in SB, I call in BB with Q
9

, Rob leads £12 into £28...I'm probs quite nitty in his eyes so I doubt he calls flop and turn with Tx that often when I bet into 3 ppl, then again it's a weird spot for him to bluff when my hand looks a lot like Qx. I doubt he's slowplaying this board with QT/66 etc so I'm only worried about KQ/QJ and I think he raises those pre at least some percentage of the time, also he's first to act so he probs just leads flop. I discussed this hand with him and someone else afterwards, pretty inconclusive tbh so if you have a bit of insight then just leave a comment. Bit of a wtf spot.
Oh and I witnessed a fine piece of shortstack justice today, dude from PokerSoc sits with £20, plays like a nit and blinds down for several hours then picks up AK and gets it in vs AQ for £15, board comes QxxQQ and he stands up and walks around for a few minutes in disbelief. Priceless.
Anyways I really ought to go to sleep soon, it's nearly 9am... my sleep schedule is pretty fucked these days, I have 9am lectures during the week and then stay up like a caffeine-fueled degen on weekends, rinse and repeat. Haven't posted a photo in a while so here's one I took the other day, figured these £50 notes make nice subject material since you don't see them often and they look kinda baller :)

(edit: fixed the colour balance, looks much nicer now)

It seems like a line where someone is never bluffing because it's almost always going to be called. At the same time it's hard to construct of a value range for him for the reasons mentioned. I think this will often be some sort of thin value play rather than a bluff generally though unless he's levels above.
How much do you have behind? If in doubt, tank, overbet shove, especially with a nitty image, then show for hilarious metagame.
I think I had at least £150 behind, a shove would have been sick lol
yes this was a big bluff time spot you win for sure with shov and the show is fcking hilarious
