I mean this spot is really weird. What did he minbet/call the flop with and then goes for a check minraise on the turn?
He didnt seemed to be that donkish so I thought he was minbetting midpair on the flop or something.
I really dont see how the 9 helped him in any way except he had KJ but would he really play it that way!?

I felt kinda lost in this hand...

in real time i struggle in stupid spots like this too, but looking at it from the outside, he has KJ here almost always. maybe QT, TT occasionally... i just dont see anything we fair well against that he plays like this.

Re: Weird turn spot in limpot pot
 

I dont think he has TT or QT here ever. He actually wasnt a donk and he would come over the top on the flop with those hands for sure. I mean KJ is the only hand that makes some sense to me, even this is not the standard way to play it I guess...

Re: Weird turn spot in limpot pot
 

absent a flush draw on the flop at least sometimes he is flatting that raise with tt surely.

Re: Weird turn spot in limpot pot
 

Yeah but I think he raises TT preflop almost always...

This isn't KJ "almost always". This spot is hugely player dependant, as people play pretty weirdly in limped pots. He could have a huge hand, or he's overvaluing the relative strength of his hand (9T, QJ etc).

Honestly, i don't know what i'd do here, its a pretty crappy spot. I'm leaning towards a fold though.

there is a decent chance villain overvalues worse two pair or something...i call and expect him to slow down with a lot of his hands on the river.

See, thats the thing, if villain is the type to overvalue his hand, i don't think he'd know to slow down on the river. I think to that type of villain, "two pair" is "OMG two pair". The river spot is going to suck as much as the turn unless your boat up.

Donkeys love to play KJ like this.
