Yes, villain limp called with the two limpers calling behind him on a short table. Everything is as I said, but let me juxtapose things by indicating the middle aged asian villain was actually me. My opponent was a millennial kid. He chastised me about my body language in the hand where I flopped broadway on him. Yet still called my value bet on the river with what I guess was at least top pair but not sure because he mucked.
I apologize for the deception, but trying to analyze the hand from his point of view to see if the misdirection was "objectively" believable warranting a call or if his call was more a product of the dynamics of being stuck and deep into a long sit. I jammed the turn because I saw him lining up his chips for a shove, but felt like he was just feigning a shove to catch a check from me. In fact, on the flop after check min-raising him, he said you know I have an ace here so its going to be a matter of who has the best kicker. I had A3o. He tanked for 5 minutes before calling.
This was actually the hand that completed my comeback from what was at its lowest point stuck $850 to cheese $100, with $700 (including ~$300 winning from this hand) of it earned in about about 2.5hrs. I pretty much broke my all my preset guidelines of my poker return. 16 hr sit, and I was stuck early into it and just kept bleeding. I opened my range, and pretty much abandoned pot control for betting lines more conducive to large higher variance multiway pots and my stack fluctuated accordingly.
So by 2:30 once our table was consolidated into another short table, i had $400 in front of me. I am sure it comes as no surprise, but that late into a sit, those still playing are either stuck or preying on the stuck. I wont say I played a good LAG, but more caught a good run at the right time. Just happy I ended on the right side, and kept my winning steak, even if it would have been more lucrative for me to do a double at micky d's drive through.
