against a passive, weak player I limp here as well and 1/3 to 1/2 of the pot on the flop expecting to win the pot 70% of the time. Without a read I fold.

I like your betsizes and you definitely want to get it all in here. Sorry that he had K2

Preflop is read dependant - default muck, but completing ATC is fine against some villians. I like the post flop line assuming you shoved river.

I complete ATC here, bet any (!!) flop potsize and back-off if Villain calls.

As played here, I c/f the turn.

Why would you c/f turn?

This was played well as long as you shove river.

As played you have to shove the river - this is not the question. Nevertheless I expect to be beaten the majority of time here and our FE is nearly zero.

To avoid this ugly situation I just had c/f the turn. The question for me is - what should Villain call the flop with that we still beat on the turn? As soon as we put a single chip in on the turn we´re committed with a bunch of crap. This is why I just wanted to wait for a better spot to steal or getting it in as a favourite.

What do you put the BB on? these are the hands that we are behind when he calls, K9,K3,KK,99,33. He's not checking KK or 99 PF and maybe not K9. So you are scared of K9, K3, 33? We can't add Aces into his range yet because we haven't bet so we have no idea how he'll react to the A.
