Villain is a 16/10 reg after 224 hands. Pretty sure I'm beat here but what is he raising? I don't put him on AK/AQ because those hands probably would've squeezed preflop, and AQ would've probably bet the turn. He probably doesn't have a 2 because he's a reg and I just don't see him flatting any twos preflop other than 22. Pocket 9s is possible but wouldn't he have tried to bet some on the turn since people would probably call with worse. River is a good card for him to check/raise on if he had 99 because SOMEONE has to have the ace but... i dont know, can anyone else offer some input?

Click to expand...

crazy, but i do think he can show up with a2 (probably suited) sometimes too. preflop hes got two callers in front, and idk what kind of reads he has on the bb but if he thinks the bb will call behind a lot of the time he could definitely have a2. other than that idk wtf he could be doing this with lol

This def. a crazy hand. Regardless of what he had I think it was played poorly by the villain.

He's really only doing something like this with a hand that has you beat or nothing. And seeing as how he didnt try and stab at the pot before you bet, Im thinking he has A9.

Doubtful he has 99, and didnt try and get any value proactively.

Meh, don't give too much credit to the regs at 25nl, their ranges aren't necessarily what you'd expect. He might have hit a set on the flop and used his trapping expertise alot of micro players have. Or A2, A9.

fold. but i already told you.
