PF i would say his range is small pocket pairs,Ax,broadway cards and maybe a few good suited connectors 78-9T.
On the flop i wouldnt be suprised if hes check calling his whole range. But if he is ever folding its probably gonna be non paired suited connectors and his Ax no pair no wheel draw so when the A comes on the turn his check looks really weak especially since i would expect flopped sets to lead out some percentage of the time. With all that being said i dont think the river changes anything,i would call. Villains hand looks like broadway cards or a suited connector with a paired nine

Villain had TT and took my check on the turn as weakness. I folded face up to get him to show face up. #NIT

Hey atleast you didnt call to "see what he had" ive been guilty of this myself many times its always better to make a bad fold for what you think is a good reason than a good call for no reason.

often times, the Ace is a scare card on the turn, but we have to think what villain is calling with on the flop. in real time, i didn't think of that at all. this line he took definitely reflects TT or another medium sized pocket pair.

I'd say this is a pretty straightforward call. In my opinion you're already beating most of the hands in his range, especially seeing as how he check called all the way to the river. JJ just seems too strong to fold for that size bet. I just think that in this specific circumstance JJ fits perfectly into a check calling range.

And on a side note: sometimes it is actually beneficial in my opinion to call "just to see what they have". This is a good example of one of those times. Sometimes by folding the middle of your range you can be leaving money on the table. You're pretty much letting villain know that you'll check the turn in hopes of getting to showdown cheaply.

The more aggro player is is the more likely you should snap this.

Your image and his image is the deciding factor.


1. You checking often means ur shutting dow. (Snap call)


2. Your opponent attacks weakness or aggro (snap call)
