$115 NLTRN aces up get minraised
 

Villain has been very passive, missing value bets, limping a lot. He's a little on the tight side post flop too. Never seen him minraise before.

Against a passive villain I'd just call and see a cheap showdown here.

I guess there might be some really thin value in making a small reraise and folding if he comes over the top, but I don't really think it is worth getting fancy.

I agree with xSCWx .

If he had bet more on the turn , then your effective odds would be reduced significantly and calling would be that much more difficult . Since he's laying you decent odds here , I'd call hoping that he checks the river or makes another smallish bet .

River : 7

Block or check/call, if so how much?

Re: $115 NLTRN aces up get minraised
 

on that river i bet half pot and hope to get called by Ax

if he raises probably have to fold

why no raise pf???

waiting for aces?

Re: $115 NLTRN aces up get minraised
 

how tight is he pf. If he is fairly tight you can take a lot of 2x hands out of his range.

Re: $115 NLTRN aces up get minraised
 

I prefer check call . There is a decent chance that villain has played a 3-x this way and used the ace on the turn as a potential scare card.

Your only hope of winning is if he shows you 3-x or some random bluff .

Certainly call - you're ahead often enough for that.

Evaluate the river, but (unless the river is spectacular) be prepared to check/autocall 1/2 pot bet. Anything from 1/2 pot to full pot is a judgement call based on what the river is and your instinct on how he bet. An overbet probably has to be a fold against this type of opponent.

If he was using the ace as a scare card, he would not bet the river with 3x, check calling you lose a lot of value IMO.

There are a lot of hands you beat which will call a river value bet, mainly Ax, but also 3x.
Since he is tight post flop, we can fold to a raise, no?

Re: $115 NLTRN aces up get minraised
 

river a 7: if he often limps hands like AK-Ax on the button, i know almost impossible to know, i would prefer to check/call. often you are getting raised from A10-type of hands (passive players dont always raise with these hands). but a raise would be very ugly. so i really don't know. maybe if you bet, bet a little bit more, about 3/4, so villain has to consider that you have made trips or another very strong hand. this would be my idea.

Re: $115 NLTRN aces up get minraised
 

in my head, the way this player was described as very timid, passive, tight, scared

so he would only raise with a 3 or better
