200NL - Strangeish line against clown
 

Villain here is bigdkeene, running like 45/2 over enough hands. No other reads, except he's well terrible. I've got a lot of input for this hand obv, but I'll leave it open-ended for now to generate better discussion.

call the turn, i prefer a min-raise on a more drawy board.

Re: 200NL - Strangeish line against clown
 

first thought was that the turn raise seems kinda silly... second was that the 3 on the river didnt change anything and if you were raising the turn for value then you might as well go for the kill on the river.

What do you put him on that you beat when he donks the turn and river?

Unless he thinks that villain will call with straight draws and 7s on the turn and won't on the river, which I think is the case.

IDK if it's immaterial or not, but as well as getting value the turn minraise kinda puts you 'in control' of the hand again.

7s and busted straights enough of the time to make the call +EV?

Exactly my thoughts. I was planning on checking behind all rivers on the turn.

In addition, I think the turn raise keeps him honest; I'm repping a monster imo.

Re: 200NL - Strangeish line against clown
 

this is a really dry board and the only draws besides gs have 8s in them, you have 2 of them

US this kind of clown will continue with all gutshots especially JT which has overs too.

i like your turn logic but i think it also follows from that same logic that a bigger raise is better
