Tickner?

This guy seems to be "decent" if that means anything. We played about 20 hands so far and he hasn't done anything interesting. I found it odd that he min 3bet PF since I have seen him make pot size 3bets so far. His flop bet is standard for basically his whole range, but when he calls I do get a little scared (I'd rather him push so I'd know he had Axc or QQ+ for example).

Anyway, on the turn, I am semi-lost. I don't know what the hell he could have here. Do you guys have any ideas?

P.S. This conversion is from the NEW legooker HH converter, and will be available in a few days time for beta use.

call in a heartbeat and fistpump, I usually see AA/KK, AQs etc but i think his range is wide enough that it is a def call

I probably wouldn't pump my fist but I'm calling this. The line seems a little too aggressive to be the straight. It looks more like he wants to protect his top pair (or AA/KK) from the straight draw.

Lets guess for a moment and put him on the following range:

8-10,9-10,9-q,8-q,j-10,6-5s,77,88,99,1010,throw in some flush draws and pure bluffs

You are winning against 8+12+6=26 hands and you're losing to
9+6+16+4+1+1+3=40 hands

You're getting 2:1 pot odds and you only need to win 33% of the time .

26/66&gt;=33%

I think this is an interesting hand . If it were not for the flush draw , the decision would be much more difficult but I may still lean towards a call .

I make a Phil Hellmuth call here and am happy about it.

2nd that, i think we see KK/AA here a lot. the board becomes too scary for those hands on the turn and they shove to protect
