Final Pot: $12.60

Villain was preflop 18/8 after 90 hands. On the Turn I checked for pot control. Should I do that?
I do not like the River card, but I put him on 88 or AK or AQ. Sometimes he has a T, but my call should be right?
What do you think? Should I play the hand in another way?

There are a few straight possibilities out on the turn so I would go ahead and fire another barrel ~$4+. I think the key point is that he hasn't shown any aggression yet so I'm going to continue thinking that my hand is best until met with real resistance.

I think his he could be making this play on the river with a missed OESD since we have under represented our hand by checking behind which looks very weak (because it is). It depends on the flow of the game but I don't think a call as played on the river is awful.

edit: What was his aggression factor?

[Miko]

I don't think he's likely to fool around on this turn card. And w/ any 6/J/8/Q/K and A as scarecards I would protect my hand here and bet for value on the turn.

And, by betting on the turn you decrease the change of getting an awefull tough decision on the river if one of the real bad cards fall (the 6/J and 8) cause you're the agressor (and therefore he will check lots of rivers to you) and it's not likely he draws w/ a gut shot twice.

i call or fold depend on how many times vilain will take a shot with a busted straight draw.

[SkeetyMcdoogle]

I'm firing turn again here for protection and value, NL25 villains are calling all day with any 7, any 9, any 10, any gutshot, and sometimes random overcards.

I'm calling river because of all the missed straight draws, and some villains like to get cute with 2pair on the board and any ace in their hand.
