Default Two Pair Line Check FTP 14K Guarantee

Sorry, converter isn't working.

This guy has only been at the table for about 40 hands, and is running 45/20. I've been tight, 14/7, but I'm not sure if he knows that.

Should I be value-betting the river? Seems pretty thin, although the way this guy plays, he could be calling with a lot that I beat.

Not sure the turn minraise means anything.

If you really want our help, you should either stop the hand when villain minraises the turn or when it gets to you on the river. Seeing that villain checked behind on the river biases our responses to the point where we really can't be of much help. I'm sitting here thinking "3bet the turn he has some stupid BS" but who knows what I'd think if I didn't know our villain had the worst hand. That's not a terrible river, I mean the flush is a little concerning, but the most likely straight draw, T9, missed, and putting villain on K9 or AK is a real stretch, like pretty much never. So, you could bet the river, but like I said, I wouldn't trust my advice given that I know villain checked behind.

Repop the turn nearly every time here. Its true that its low stakes so a player might be bad enough to slow play a flopped set on this dangerous board but Im reraising the turn here every time and happy to get it all in.

Your 2 pair is good here far too often to keep pot small on turn and risk scary river card (flush/board double pairing etc)
