fold pre

As played, at 2nl, it looks fine. It's a pretty strong line from villain but at the same time, he probably just bet/bet/bet a flush instead of risking losing value with a x/r

Yup, you can fold this pre and no way are we raising this river. I don't mind calling with 87s though

Yeah generally pretty gutsy calling this pre. I don't like playing non suited hands like this. If you know your opponent only plays premiums though it's not too hard to play, knowing if we hit 2pair we generally good against overpairs.
But this is the flop i love with these cards. The board hits us more times than our villain and pretty much our villain has showed us not much strength.

Just shove river and get paid. A lot of times they don't have the flush and Ace hits a lot of 2pairs which will be happy to call. And Ax hands.

Is this nott a call even against a loose and aggressive player?

Maybe deeper stacked against a fish

I think its better to play this hand against a nit or tag cuz you know where your hand is.

You play against a loose fish youll b dominated with all kind of bs hands. And youll need a lot more than a miracle most times

Just fold pre unlesss ur running super hot

Nits and tags are not giving you much value when you do make a hand though, fish will give you plenty.

Yeh but nits dont play many hands so its harder for them to let go pp

Tags i do agree with u though but still they make some mistakes but get better obv as u go up levels

Yeh fish do pay but u cant fold them out generally so u can win by folding out tags/ and the best hand

Why only cal river ??? as played if he still bets after x/raise turn ,
let him Continue to bluff on the river and second x/jam

Keep an eye on the nuts .. we dont have highest str or flush

If you think villain plays really tight u can raise river say against a nit but a tag or lag we can be burning money by raising
.

If he jams we can b put in tough spots n we try to avoid this esp with reads... flop i wouldve already decided what i was doing with this vill
