Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 22/20/1.6

Villain is pretty competent over 210 hands and only seen him taking quality cards to the river. The queen at the end didn't make much difference. I just wasn't sure what he had but felt he had an 8 or maybe a set. What you think?

P.s this all started with a misclick. That is why I limped. Meaning he could have anything...

its hard to critique a play because of a misclick. The hand went all wrong when you limped and because he is BB it is impossible to put him on a range.

Shouldn't of posted this hand imo

easy fold, think about it this way, his is in the BB and decides to check, he can easily have an 8 here, pocket 7s maybe, 87, 9T of hearts type of hand and just floated on the flop and make a nice draw.

also, look at his total aggression factor, only 1.6, pretty small, indicative of a nit postflop, his stats look great preflop, but, total AF too small, giving up a lot postflop, not cbetting scary boards, no double barreling no betting draws.

so i say fold, i learned this the hard way, there is no shame in folding here, and when i say fold, i mean fold the turn. one common mistake we do at this level is making this call here, on the turn, when we know for sure he is going to fire the river, now you have 2 pair, but really your decision should have been made on the turn, when you make that call on the turn you better be ready to call the shove on the river, or just put it in yourself on the turn, just don't make the call and hope he checks the river, because in this case it rarely happens.

Just LOL at this. And if he was 65/24 you think you could put him on a range? What if some villain was playing 100% of their hands, they should not be posted I guess.

+1 to being a fold on the turn, he seems to be on the passive side, and people don't go out of their way to steal unraised pots, you're crushed on the turn almost every time

Why fold the turn? Just because he raises doesn't at all mean he has a full house. On the turn we have plenty of outs for the nut flush and 2 aces to boat up, i think he could easily raise 56hh or 9-10hh instead of flatting the turn which would be bad. He could show up with A2-7 here aswell. I reluctantly call, but want to hear more insight on this hand.

For some reason I was feeling confident at the turn. I thought he was maybe just making a move and with me limping he prob wouldnt put me on AQ. The river I didnt like, maybe i took a delayed reaction lol

We have no flush possible (I know 2 color decks are hard to read) on the turn. Ask yourself how often 56hh or 9Thh call the flop bet, not to mention that they are only 2 combos.

When he raises the turn, we need to fold.

I said why in the post you quoted, reading comprehension ftw. There is no FD, and randomly picking up hands to justify our desire to call isn't going to make us play good.

Again, he is passive, and everybody is way more passive in unraised pots in general. You are telling me this guy wants to get stacks in with A2-A7, which is pretty much insane :embarasse
