NL 25 | Blind Battle

[King Car]

Stats: Villain 35/7 over 80 hands, and had not done anything worth noting.

Hero was playing 22/15ish, and was raising a decent amount of pots in position.

Should I have bet the turn, or do you like taking the free card.

Given villains line, what range do you put him on, and what is your river play?

Comments on all streets welcome.

That's super close IMO. I like the turn check. I think this is about as EV neutral as it gets. A lot of villains pot the river to make up for any missed value on the turn or they could also pot it to bluff a missed draw. I'd lean towards calling here though in a blind battle. People make some dumb moves when you mess w/ their blinds for some reason.

Call. I assume you question is raise or call. Folding is absurd.

No Call here without a dead-read from experience son.
