Is calling here bad? I am not sure where to border my calling range vs players like this:
poker stars $2.00 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players - View hand 2892345
DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter

UTG: $2.00 - VPIP: 16, PFR: 12, 3B: 12, AF: 9.0, hands: 85
MP: $2.00 - VPIP: 17, PFR: 14, 3B: 11, AF: 2.4, Hands: 213
CO: $2.38 - VPIP: 19, PFR: 12, 3B: 1, AF: 2.1, Hands: 350
Hero (BTN): $2.03
SB: $1.71 - VPIP: 35, PFR: 18, 3B: 0, AF: 0.5, Hands: 17
BB: $2.00 - VPIP: 17, PFR: 11, 3B: 3, AF: 2.8, Hands: 108

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BTN with T :spade: Q :diamond:
2 folds, CO raises to $0.06, Hero calls $0.06, 2 folds

Flop: ($0.15) T :diamond: A :heart: Q :spade: (2 players)
CO bets $0.09, Hero calls $0.09

Turn: ($0.33) 3 :heart: (2 players)
CO bets $0.22, Hero?

Turn changes nothing, but have i made a mistake here by even being in? Does he have enough Ax that I can continue to call down?

if u dsn't overpay naked Q or T, u can call that, blinds here dsnt 3bet much+u have some potencial fish on sb, that grows up your expects. what about a pfr guy, u can look at stat *co steal*, think there u'll see some about 20-25% range. some about that, u're a bit behind, but have a position, some stats & much options to play your hand.
_
what about turn - 2 middle pairs on that board, if u raise, he probably fold A8, but u have to call & think much rivers against 3rd barrel, if river closes flush & he chek's, i wudn't found much value in bet, cause usually i don't expect much call's here from naked Ax.

Calling there is fine, imo. Vs guys with those stats I might find a fold preflop, but I don't mind how this is played.


The real question, imo, is why are you even on this table in the first place? 4 nits and one LAG preflop / weak postflop player who is in the worst seat to you? You need to be in the BB seat or better: on a different table entirely.

Had too many tables going. I dont always see if it is a bad table. When I do, I get off. I usually start off with tables with marked players, and dont always notice when they leave/bust.

I think you need to raise this hand on the flop and if not then then definitely on the turn, bottom 2 pair is a decent hand on the flop and its likely you have something like a 65% 35% equity edge on the flop against his range.
Against AK you are a 62% fav.
These are substantial equity edges so you should be raising and looking to get it all in early in this hand hoping he will stack off with a hand like AK
He is probably a little less likely to stack off with AK after the turn so yeah raise the flop.
Bottom 2 is a very vulnerable hand because if the board pairs and he has an ace you are toast. I remember a quote from one of Phil Gordon's books, "bottom 2 play em fast"
I also agree with the table selection comments here already made, there isn't much money to be made from this bunch of nits.
Preflop is very borderline, you are going to be an equity dog but more importantly dominated a lot. I'd prefer to call with 78s here than QT. Personally I would fold this hand as its not in my 3bet light range either.

Fold or 3bet pre IMO and I'd lean more towards a fold as this should be pretty low or just outside your 3bet range against CO.

As played, call the flop and raise the turn 1.25pot. Get as much in there as you can.

Fold pre. He has a PRR of 12. Call down flop and turn; don't ever raise unless you think he's fishy enough to stack off AK on a rainbow broadway board (lol). Probably folding to a river bet since he shouldn't be 3-barreling AK/AJ/busted draws/worse hands. His range for 3-barreling this run-out is going to be super strong.

I'd fold pf but as called raise or call flop its ok, I dont understand the turn fold since theres some Ax combos and some draws he could 2 barrel

Looked, but couldnt find a turn fold in the HH.......... It is actually the correct play on the turn I am trying to find opinions about.
