Crazy River Jam has me fouled up.

[dabluebery]

Home game SNG, 7 runners, paying two. 4000 starting chips, 20 minute levels, normal blinds. We're at 50/100 right now, early on.

Folds to the button. He's a reasonable player in every sense. Reasonably tight, reasonably loose at times. Plays for fun, but reads books like Harrington. If I've got to peg him to a "mold," it's a little weak-tight. He hates gambling on races, etc.

He's got me covered and I have around 2700 chips.

He makes it 250 to go. I defend in the small blind with Qs6s, and we take a flop.

Flop is 9-6-6 rainbow. I check, he checks.

Turn is an offsuit 4. I lead out for 400 with around 550 in the pot, and he calls.

the river is a 7. This coordinates the board but I still feel like I need to bet for value. I fire out 400 into the pot which has around 1400 in it.

He Jams! WTF?

Board is 9-6-6-4-7

I have to call around 1600 more with around 3600 in the pot. My call is getting 2.25:1 and I need to be around 30% to break even, and I'd prefer to be slightly better considering my distaste for calling off my chips at neutral equity.

Usually I work backwards in hands, and start with that 30% and see if I can find it somewhere. Usually I'll just call (or fold) because it becomes very obvious to me what to do.

This was not like that. I took a long time deciding what he could have, specifically, out of character for me. I believe he'd play 99, 44, and 77 that way. Possibly A6 and K6. I thought there was very little chance he was bluffing. Not close to the harrington 10% or whatever.

Considering his weak-tightness, I didn't there there's any other hand he could open up the betting with on the river that he wouldn't have bet on an earlier street. Also, he raised preflop.

I folded. What does everyone think?

Fold preflop.
Bet flop
bet/push turn
push river

I would never fold that in a blind battle. If anything he slowplayed an OP.

I like the fold unless you think he checks behind overpairs on the flop frequently

Checks behind unpaired high cards, trips, lower PP's. Not overpairs.

well if he's weak tight and predictable then you beat nothing, so good fold

Results; I folded the best hand. Button flipped J6 like it was the nuts when I folded, and I'm stuck scratching my head about how he could open up the betting on the river with J6. Reverse implied odds, etc. Meh.
