I'll leave the results in this time.
Villain is probably one of the better regs on Stars I would say. Obviously my sample isn't too big yet but he's doing fine and his play usually looks reasonable to me. He is very loose when I'm in the blinds since I'm actually a tight defender. During yesterdays session I tried to defend a little wider although I'm not sure if this hand makes into that range generally.
Given I'm tight raising this board makes absolutely no sense. He will know what's up once I do it. So I call and pretend to be drawing or having a mediocre made hand.
On the turn there's not much I can do but calling again. I was a little scared because he sized down and obviously the board is super wet at this point. I think on this turn he is gonna check most overpairs behind so he is most likely gonna be drawing or has 8x.
On the river it gets a little dicey. Basically everything bricks and he is clearly repping A8 here. I wonder though if he really bets 1/2 pot with A8 when I block so much of his potential backup. I also feel like 8x and especially A8 will size up on this turn and not down.
Is that reasonable or is the hand completely misplayed and I'm being stupid on the river but lucky!?
