First u need to use a proper converter

[euroglot]

Is think I'll still call here. He could be tryin for a freecard play with a flushdraw or like 9Q or so, and thought he could bluff you out of the pot on the turn. I don't know how agressive/passive he is but...
I think I'll call an agressive player and fold to a passive player.

I'm going to say fold because you're not beating anything but I know I'm going to be crucified for it. Whatever, I'm still folding.

A read would really, really help.

i would normally say that playing poker against an unknown is part of the game. these days there's really no reason for it online. you should really datamine a game before you play it.

Stars takes a dim view of this, James.

[James.]

given a typical EP limper range and that very coordinated flop, i don't think i want 3bets going in with 2 cards to come.

i would bet/call the flop and donk the turn. if he raises i would call and c/f or c/c the river UI depending on what i know about villain.

You only beat A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and it probably is not in his limping range from EP. You lose to every pp from AA-66 (bar QQ). I suspect a capped flop with KQ is not very likely either.

Fold on the river.

That flop is awful. Only Js really help you and only non-[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] rags smaller than 6 are relatively harmless.

So, put money in now on the flop when we still might be ahead or wait for safe turn card before getting aggressive? I think James' line is good.

You did get past 98,97,87 on the river though so maybe you have reason to call - maybe.

Agree, you only beat flopped bottom two pair that decided to bluff the river anyway.
