Hello!
What you guys think about the river call? I thought V is a fish (low stack, high VPIP)

PokerStars - $0.02 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: $1.32 (VPIP: 40.00, PFR: 20.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, hands: 15)
Hero (SB): $2.54

CO: $2.00 (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 8)

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has 7:diamond: 7:club:

fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to $0.04, Hero raises to $0.16, fold, BTN calls $0.12

Flop: ($0.34, 2 players) 4:diamond: 9:club: 8:club:
Hero bets $0.16, BTN calls $0.16

Turn: ($0.66, 2 players) T:heart:
Hero bets $0.32, BTN calls $0.32

River: ($1.30, 2 players) 2:spade:

We don't have many hands on him so hard to judge how bad he is. I would bet more OTF, then I'm probably check/folding the turn. I doubt we fold him out often enough to make it profitable. The river is definitely a fold.

I would argue a check/call on the flop because any draw that we get value from by betting will usually bet itself and check/calling avoids us from having to face a check/raise and fold the best hand when he plays his draws aggressive. The fact that we have so much backdoor equity makes check/calling flop even more appealing.

It depends if this is a fish or a bad LAG. Bad LAG you're forced to call to complete your line because of their steal frequency (since you've been representing a bluff with A high or K high or a bad pocket pair). On the other hand, if it's a Fish, a fish would normally check river behind without at least top pair so it's an easy fold.

Edit: I get your call after thinking about it. It makes sense given your opponent only passively called both bets (suggesting he's thinking about pot odds/drawing) and you had two key blockers to the draw. Top end of the straight draw would make top pair and likely raise the turn. If he's a fish and chooses to bet the river, that leaves mostly the exact type of hand he had.

Good call since most hands your opponent has that are worth value betting would actually raise the turn worrying about the board getting too connected or check the river behind you because you bet the 10. The only real hands you ever run into here are JQ or two pair, which normally never bet so high because it might scare your type of hand away.

"most hands your opponent has that are worth value betting would actually raise the turn worrying about the board getting too connected or check the river behind you because you bet the 10." Exactly what i thinked, he played to passivli and than he bet for a blank river, also i know i had luck because V should have J8,J9, Q8-QT,K8-KT, A8-AT and the flop check/call is the best game on the flop to " avoid check/raise" as IPlay sad.
Thx

Don't put results in the thread, even as a spoiler. It really does affect feedback and you don't know who's looked at it before commenting.

nh... good c/c on the river. There's not enough combos your opponent is calling and not raising by the turn, that they are betting the river with. The only combo that would really make sense is 67 and Tx (a % of the time), but you have two 7's, which reduces that. So for the price you're getting and the missed draw combos out there it's a good call.
