Re: 97o button
 

if i dont know villain well, id probably play it the same. if i know he's supertight and plays passively, i'd be comfortable folding, maybe even on the flop. if he is aggro w/ draws, but slowplays big hands, maybe 3bet flop, or free sd raise if i feel comfortable folding to a 3 bet?

Re: 97o button
 

I'll make the decision on the turn. If he has a hand it is more probable that it is better than yours. The J on the turn is bad card since it hits some of his semi bluff hands. I would probably fold here if he is not a chronic flop check raiser. I don't think it is -EV to fold the turn.

If he can raise with air than try to put a percentage on his bluffing frequency. Pick a random number and decide if you are calling down this time or just folding.

I either play it the same or fold turn.

I would call on the flop and turn almost all of the time, and i would fold the river a decent amount against players i consider honest. I think raising the turn and checking the river is also fine.

I don't like raising the turn since you probably have to call the reraise with your picked up gutshot which may or may not be good.
I pretty much always take this to showdown.

Re: 97o button
 

I would 3 bet the flop sometimes but this is a fine spot to simply call down IMO.
