Default 88 with tons of overs

Villain is an unknown 1/2'er.

Poker Stars
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $1/$2
10 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is MP1 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises</font>, 2 folds, CO calls, 3 folds.

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5.5SB, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, CO calls.

Turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3.75BB, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">CO bets</font>, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: 1BB returned to CO.

Results:
Final pot: 3.75BB

edit: I had seen him limp A3o from EP a couple of hands earlier so I guess this makes the hand even more straightforward.

I agree the board is fairly coordinated for a cold caller. I might take a stab at the turn Ace though since it is a likely scare card for him. Especially HU. He hasn't given you any reason to believe you are behind yet. This would be my standard line even vs an unknown. If he calls the turn I would check the river.

Also it would be useful to know his cold calling range since he has position on you.

I'm wondering what the turn play is had that ace been a 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Hmm, tough spot against an unknown. There are draws out there that a loose player might be calling with.

I might risk firing another bullet on the turn.

What would you do if your turn bet was called and another blank fell on the river ?

Would bet again. People peel pretty loosely on the flop, but notsomuch on the turn.

I'd probably check/fold the river, unless I had a read that he'd always bet when checked to if he had a busted straight/flush draw.

Looks perfect.

The A helps a lot of the worse hands he peels the flop with. Betting to fold out a T is no good IMO since most of them will have a straight draw, eg QT.

If the turn is a brick I bet/fold and c/c or c/f most rivers. There are so many draws calling on that board
