Villain is 32/1/2.6 and couldn't possibly be less tricky.

I'm pretty sure he has something like a T. My hand obv looks like exactly what it is, but does it matter? Also, anyone raise turn?

This is something I do often when I'm not playing well and on a downswing.

That said, would you say that him not 3-betting the flop eliminates flopped two pairs and sets from his range?

I hate those turn spots. I think with a draw as big as yours shoving turn is ok. Often he wants a cheap showdown so ill shove to deny him that. They dont call off that often unless they are 2 pair+.

Im not crazy about river because like you acknowledged your hand looks exactly like a draw and unless he is completely braindead he is gonna call with most hands hes betting the river with.

Shoving would be quite an overbet. You see that they're 165BBs deep, right? But then again, if he doesn't have two pair+, he has to have some balls to call off such a big bet with AT or whatever.

Except missed draws, which may be a pretty decent part of his range.

Does a single T really play itself like this? What does the limp-calling say?

Edit: Oh, he always does that, doesn't he?

[MATT111]

He`s not folding a made hand for sure. You may someimes get him off ace high or KQ. You realize overpairs are in his range, right?!

[Bigmoney]

turn raise is good but i usually do the same as you and take the cheap price

Didnt notice stack sizes. That definitly changes things.


Your second argument means we should call then? Meh, I hate these spots. Calling sucks cause its so often some crap hand like A9 or AT trying to get to showdown cheap. I guess I just raise the turn deepstack or not to give my hand legitimacy by the river.

Not entirely since I haven't seen him play any monsters before, but his aggresion factor should indicate that he would threebet at least top 2+.

Matt: JJ might be in his range, but I do believe he open raises at least QQ+.

Not saying you are surely wrong but when ppl open less than 2% of their hands they usually dont do it with the very top of their range ime.
