Default Passive showing turn strength

31/5/.9 61 wtsd over 91 hands.
I haven't played against someone this passive in awhile, but I don't know how much to trust it with the small sample size and high wtsd. One note I have is she opened in the SB, bet atw on a drawy board and folded to a river raise on a blank card, I think she thought she was bluffing there fwiw.

Default Re: Passive showing turn strength

Hand 1: With more hands on villain and some solid reads that he doesn't get out of line from time to time, I can find a fold. With just 91 hands and that read I don't trust villain and call down.

Hand 2: I can't see what he would raise on turn that you beat. Maybe a semibluff but he doesn't seem like the semibluffing type right? I would fold this in the turn.

Yo Sharpie.

Not enough hands to decide that he is passive.


Lets say that read is over 2k hands. Then I'd fold hand 2 pretty fast and I think it would be a bad call down, and I'd call down non spade and Q, J river in the first.



Given your way to few hands you cant make such decisions here. Call down both and make a note.

Notes &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; AF stats.

I really respect your game and I try to not play at your tables when I am at stars. But given the few number of hands, both these decisions are pretty straight forward IMO

Hand 1 you can't fold. He could be raising worse aces here (or semibluffing).

Hand 2 I call down as well. It's a steal situation and there's some semibluffing hands out there. With a better read, that he's usually passive in these spots, I could find a fold.
