[NL10] 2 Pair against a weak tight payer

[SlimboKarvell]

Hello,

Villain: VPIP: 20, AF: 0.5

What strikes me is that villain bets the flop. I haven't seen him bet without some kind of hand.

- should I have bet more on the turn
- how much should I have raised the turn?

Thank you!

Looks fine to me.

I don't bet that river very often.. people like that don't bet draws often.. and A9 or Ax 2 pair is very likely hand.. checking and calling his min bet seems like the way to go there.

Even if it is such a weak bet? With what a hand might he bet such a small amount? I see a lot of bluffs when the turn is checked where the bets are very small.

Is it true that, if I raise the river, I only get called by better hands than mine? That's what I thought while playing!

i c/c river to a normal sized bet however i think you can profitably raise this min bet to something like 4ish bc this is almost always air/one pair

[Scrubbo]

you said villain bet the flop, but he didn't

Really m8?

I thik he checks behind way to often here. I like a half pot VB here.

Thank you for your answers. I think a river raise would have been good, because very often thes weak bets are middle pair/bluff.

I won the hand, he was on a flush draw.
