NL400 - TPTK passive becomes a bluff catcher
 

[ QUOTE ]
Villain is 20/16 over a small sample size.

Fwiw, stack sizes are 150bb deep. The 8 sucks on the river...

I'd raise the flop and take it from there.

Agreed.

As played I like the turn call and river fold. Unless he's making a ridiculously sneaky play by lead/lead/leading three streets with 7 high, he has you crushed a big chunk of the time. I guess you fold to exactly KT sometimes but that's really the only viable hand here that you can beat.

Yeah, I thought about that especially because of the size of his bet. I assume that u don't think he'll 3-bet me with 9T because there's a good chance that I could have JJ or QQ but 0 chance that he could?

If he calls the raise and a blank 2 comes on the turn are you going to check behind or bet?

Do you think stack sizes are a little awkward at all for a raise on the flop or do you think that it keeps him from pushing a draw?

His donk bet through me off a little bit. I assumed it was either T9, 66 or maybe 77-TT or QK. Do you think he leads the flop with QK?

i don't mind this like occastionally, but i guess you can't really call the river can you? no other reads?

i really don't think the 8 chagnes that much in ths hand?
