Default I autopost and end up in big limped pot with medium two pair...

I timed out a hand or two ago and lazily hit autopost before this hand. Not something I normally do.

Anyway, villain is 29/12/1.6 and plays quite a bit. The only read I have on him relates to shorstack play, though. Anyway, I've been playing loose-TAG or tight-LAG depending on where you draw the line. I tend to go after a lot of these pots where no one has staked their claim, particularly a-high limped pots like this one. So anyway, I think that complicates things a bit.

Thoughts on turn and river would be appreciated. On the turn I thought my hand was strong enough that I had to continue with it, but not necessarily strong enough that I wanted to play it for 150bbs in a limped pot, for this reason I dismissed raising as an option.

I fold the river because, on the back of the turn chack raise, the river PSB is just too intimidating for my liking.

What say 2+2?

Line doesnt make too much sense.. signals trips IMO. But I like the way you played it and I usually do not call a river bet this big here without history.

You played this hand way too passively imo. Do you really think he floats this flop with 22? Why is everyone assuming that he has a set here? Besides 33, A2, A3, and A9, you are definitely ahead of most of his range. Correct me if Im wrong, but I put more money in on the turn.

I think your hand is disguised pretty well. So why not take this line? I like C/R flop and leading turn. That way if he shows strength on the turn, youll have an easier decision. Im really trying to learn as much as I can on this forum, so any construtive criticism of my posts are welcome

Cant check raise, we have the position.

If we trust baluga theorem then we are splitting here at best, no?

We're only ahead of bluffs, he isn't value raising the turn with a worse hand. And given he called a totally dry flop he will show up here with air like never unless he turns 9x into a bluff or something (v unlikely).

I fold turn here and definitely river.
