Default 25/50 vs CTS

BB is CTS. Small blind here is really really terrible. He could call CTS with all sorts of garbage here, maybe as little as AJ, certainly a queen or ten. I think because of that I'm almost always beat on the turn. What do you think? Comments on preflop and flop also welcome.

Preflop looks fine, although I think 4 betting is definitely reasonable given both of your images.

I think postflop is standard as played though, although I think betting the flop is ok as well. Really hard to call the turn now to CTS's overbet into two players (especially when one is a huge drooler like you mentioned in the OP), so I like the turn fold. All in all I think this hand is played well but there are definitely some different lines you can take, mainly 4 betting preflop or betting the flop, but it's not to say they're nessicarilly better or worse.

Standard preflop, post flop is pretty standard too.

I dont disagree if you bet/fold flop, but CTS is good enough to raise you all in with a hand that you beat because sb is terrible also cus it looks like a bet/fold bet. From the looks of it, 99 makes sense for CTS.

turn is a fold.

Pretty sure CTS check/raises enough here with hands you beat that your alternate line would have to be bet/call on flop, which is pretty disgusting, so I think this is fine.

think this was played correctly. there's an argument for 4 betting pre and also betting flop but what's your line if cts shoves???

To all those who say fold. What range are you putting BB on after he shoves the turn?
Looks like a semibluff a lot to me.
