Call/ Fold 5/10 Half Pot Limit

Hero ~1500
Villan ~2000

Villan is very loose aggressive player.

Im Dealer with Ad10d and villan is BB

A few limpers around the table then SB makes it 30 to go. BB calls with one other and myself.

Flop As10cKh

SB checks, Villan bets 30 one caller and i make it 105 straight up.
SB folds Villan sits back for about 10 seconds before calling other player folds.

While he was doing this i thought it looked like he was doing a bit of bad acting.

Turn 3d

He quickly bets out 240 (call/raise/fold)

I call.

River 8d Villan bets out 450...... action?

Fold for me.

There's not alot you are beating here imo.

Autocall and I like how you played it so far.

Villain is aggresive so if he has AA KK AK TT then he reraises preflop instead of letting x number of others into the pot, so realistically you are looking at KT in my opinion, if he has a straight so be it.

An argument can be made for value raising the river but I think I prefer just to flat call.

Looks a bit like QJ but I like MrPT's analysis here. I thinks its quite close though. I think there is little value in raising though. If villain is good I fold, if not I call.

This looks like a pretty easy fold to me. I think it's QJ more often than not.

insta call, if he is really super loose/aggressive he could have a lot of things here, and I think you played it well though I'm sure you lost.

the bad acting bit was the clue, I'd fold this

on a completely tangential note did I read your header right - 5/10 half pot limit?

is that correct, don't remember that in Oz 'when I were a lad'?

I reluctantly make a crying call on the River, the bad acting also scares me a bit too, but his loose aggressive past makes me pay him off.

Bad acting can be good acting too.

Im in the gold coast in queensland. There a bit different up here. The government does not allow nolimit to be played in casinos. Muppets.

Well i decided that i was most likey beaten by the straight so i folded. Villan shows down Ace rag.

Tilt station. So i took a break.

Came back and the guy had about 3.5k infront of him and a few hands later he donked the whole stack in one hand AA vs KK all in preflop. What a muppet.

Raise-reraise-reraise............. humm i wonder what they both have?? Aces held up. Unfortunatly it wasnt me involved in the pot.

lol whats bad about that if you never ever fold KK preflop in your entire poker career its unlikely your losing any value.

Yes, but in a half pot limit game when people are 700BB+ deep you get suspicious with KK after the 14th reraise preflop.

Yeah but if the guy is a loon then surely he must expect to get 3bet by good players a lot, so putting in the fourth raise with Kings is fine, once the fourth raise goes in I imagine that was all but a small portion of his stack so I wouldnt call it donking off his chips really.
