AA multiway, maybe should have bet flop? River bluff catch?
($2)/$3/$5 NL
8-handed with multiple $300-$400 stacks at table.
H’s table image is solid, tight - Middle aged Asian male regular. I’m up $1000 after 2 hrs, and I’m losing focus, feeling a little bored. I’m utg and have decided this is my last hand. I look down and find AA.
H UTG $15 with AdAc
V2 LJ Unknown rec with $300 stack calls.
V3 HJ Unknown rec with $400 stack calls.
V1 Button calls. Solid regular player. 30’s Asian guy dressed like a typical regular grinder in the room (pro sports team hat and jacket). $800 stack.
($63) Kh Jh 7c
Checks around, four handed.
Turn Kd
Checks around.
River Qc
Checks to V1 on button who bets $65.

You didn't have the rack out already did you? It signifies massive strength if you did. You should only rack out when it's the very last hand and not show any signs of leaving in advance until hand ended.
Turn this is the easiest bet of the century for like 30-45$ to get some value from Jx, std, fd etc.
River you could've betted yourself for like 30$. As played I think it's between a fold and call. We lose to AT/9T, or some super slowplayed hands like 77, KJ, we beat random bluffs. I doubt Qx bets this big on river. So Villain didn't bet with 9t/AT on flop+turn on btn??? By solid do you mean passive???
Tbh, I'm not sure why we aren't valuebetting turn+river. I understand it looks scary when we don't have Kx but they didn't bet flop. We should be good 95% of the time, so even if one of them have Kx, what do they do, raise you off your hand on turn? or ship it in your face on river? We can fold then right???
OP is like the most passive player of the year. Maybe it's the very last hand that influenced your decisions. Probably easy fold for you then if you take this kind of line.
Btw, 15$ is awfully small open for a 2/3/5 game, maybe 20 is a little better.
No, I didn't have a rack, no one knew I was leaving.
The standard raise in this game was $15-$20. I opened to $15 because I was in very early position, and because of the many short stacks. In retrospect, getting 3 callers behind, yeah a larger size would have been better.
I would classify V1 on the button as solid TAG. I expect him to be aggressive when appropriate. V2 and V3 are passive recs.
Out of position 4 handed, I thought a flop check is pretty standard, and looking to potentially check raise.
The turn isn't a great card, I think V2 or V3 could easily have checked a K on the flop. I check, but plan to likely call a bet.
Value bet the river, targetting a Q?

I called his river bet, he had 9To.
Didn't look at results.
I would raise big pre. As this is our last hand we don't need to worry about image, consistency etc. Might go as much as 30.
Flop is quite good for us. KK and JJ should have 3! and KJs might, especially in LP. Shouldn't be many K7 or J7. Let's bet and get called by all the top pairs and draws, and deny equity to hands like crappy striaght draws.
Turn, AP, not many kings would have checked such a drawy board. Those draws are still out there and a J now seems quite good, so time to bet AA.
River: Snap call. Dude has sat there and watched everyone check every street. He is last to act. Why not bluff the 4,000 crappy hands he calls OTB multiway pre?
