Betting turn correct?

Villain CB 69%, TCB 0/2, FCB 1/2%, FTCB 50%, AF flop 1.4, AF turn 1.0, Total AFq 36, W$SD 2/9, WTSD 9/31, Call turn bet 4/6 no raises.
Notes: Called CB over cards (2), Called barrel 2ndP
I don’t quite understand the villain stats, I did read him passive, but AFq indicates at least semi active, I wonder if I baited him to bet turn, or when he doesn't CB but call I'm supposed to be a bit worried.

I wouldnt mind to see a 3bet preflop becouse with a call i am giving the BTN a good price to have position on me with a hand that doesnt have that much playability + the villan is opening a decent range of hands from MP that could fold to a 3bet. Also 3betting allows you to rep more hands.
If you think you have an edge on the MP and you think the BTN wont call or squeeze calling should be fine.

Dont know what hands does MP check on the flop as this board almost never hits you. He could have something like A3s but thats it and there is only 2 combos of that and does he even raise that hand preflop ? He could have 22 that he would slowplay but thats also just 3 combos and is it really in his opening range.
Most likely hand that he could have is something like KQ,KJ that he thinks might still be good but not that good to bet as you might flat any Ax and he wont be able to get you off of it.
Betting the flop seems good.
On the turn you have to ask yourself is he still continuing here with Ax, Kx hands cause those are only that you beat that would check call the flop.
If you think he is still calling there with those hands i like the bet but i would like it to be a litle bit smaller say 1/2 pot to allow him to continue with those hands and it gives you a better risk/reward price.
I think checking is better as you are hardly getting 3 streets of value from a hand that you beat on the turn.
Also not many river cards are good for you.
When you face a check raise its a tough spot.
Generally players on ZOOM dont check raise the turn light.
You can certanly fold the bottom of your range here and i think 77 are right up there between folding and calling.
Becouse you will never have trips the way you played it, hardly ever have quads and boats, sometimes you will have TP and second pair and you will have many overcards,FDs,Ax etc.
So i think folding everything under 77 and calling with everything better.
Only thing i see him betting here for value is A9 and sometims 22. I think T9 and 98 are just calling your bet on the turn.
But he could have a lot of FDs in his range now that he would bet couse he is repping a very strong hand and i assume he is thinking its hard for you to call even with something like TP.
I would call here with 77 for 3 reasons.
1. I dont have a 7 of diamonds blocker which is good becouse its now more possible that he could have diamonds in his range.
Something like Ad7d, or like 7d6d, 8d7d that he might or might not have in his MP opening range and would check call the flop.
2.Its a really dry board and if he can hand read at all you repping exactly the type of hand you have and sometimes TP.
3.You have position. You can check behind if he decides to give up or you can decide to call a bet on some rivers that are not diamonds.
But remember when and if you decide to call the turn its becouse you think you are still ahead. Calling the turn and then folding to any river bet is a bad play. You want to call some rivers that dont help his range that he had on the turn.
Its tough spot to say the least.
Hope this helps you.

Similarly, your opponent could play with any hand 44+
A pocket pair on a low board leaves him room for aggressive play.

True, paired board gets the feelings of some players high. His AF 1 should be still noted, generally these players shouldn't be able to have aggression =)

You were betting small to induce a raise IP, go ahead and call and pick it off now. If you weren't doing this, then make a better sized bet on the turn that isn't going to induce bluffs.

Super low aggression by your opponent, but even players w/ super low aggression will make plays like this, especially in spots that don't totally make sense to do so if they sense weakness. So he either slow played his big pair and made a bad CR, or sensed weakness and decided to make his one big play for the month.

Call raise n see what vill does...doubt we can thin if checked to on riv
The best thing about position is we can see a bet or check on riv.... but we need to utilize position.

If we dont like raises simply dont bet and snap river when he bets

Also its a dryboard and raises can be weaker... why would he want to scare his customer away?... looks like he is probing and weak hands probe
