villain was new to the table, whats a better line here?

[0evg0]

River really looks like it's for value.

[Exitonly]

so you think flop and turn are fine (optimal?) and fold river?

[TheNewf]

I just fold the turn usually....

[Exitonly]

ok maybe overthought it. this bet sizing just seemed strange. i obv dont always call down all bets here.

so check-call flop, check-fold turn is fine way to play it? no line seems very good

[TheNewf]

Pretty sure this bet-sizing is usually a weakish player trying to suck you in.

[NHFunkii]

anyone fold preflop?

[0evg0]

Nah, 40xbb is deep enough for set value in a donkament.

earlier in same tournament (different villain, but didnt know much about him -- though he reraised me pf a few hands earlier), how about this? Pretty similar except stacks sizes (heh which i guess is a big deal) Is turn a fold here too? and if not, is it much different than 77? are 88 or 99 betting this turn?
