poker stars 3/6 How much action do you give here?

[djmeehan]

I'm new to this table and don't usually play at pokerstars so I have no particular read on this player. How much action do you give here? By the turn I assume he has either 78s or 6's or 9's with about 10% moron factor playing low stakes. Is the river raise bad?

I call down after the flop cap.

I am never raising that turn vs an unknown.

Had I flat called turn, I might raise river, but I doubt it.

Flat call UTG is a medium/small pocket pair quite often. Some do it with suited connectors, but my default for an unknown is a med/small PP.

i'm just going to lose alot of money in a hand like this. i would cap the turn. if he leads the river i would probably raise and call the 3bet.

If this was my live game I'd cap the river. It looks like 87. It could be 99 or 66, but I'd go broke on this one.

I used a 20% moron factor along with your ranges and this is our equity on the turn and then again on the river:

I have played in this game alot recently due to carrying a smaller roll online and lack of FR games at higher that 5/10 during the regular timeframe I play.

Outside of a few regulars, I am always playing this game under the premise they are complete imbeciles until they prove me otherwise.

I think its likely to see a range much wider than what your assuming. The moron factor is much higher imo.

I am in James's camp of how I play it, though I might even cap river on days when I am feeling spewy.

I probably give the same amount of action you did. If I didn't fill up on the river I'd just call it instead.
