Bet/fold turn seems > than my line here, agree?

Make a small river raise to .30 or .40. Fold if he comes over the top.


Other than that I might have made it slightly bigger on the flop.

I've never encountered a teeny tiny bet, when the pot is a significant size, to indicate a strong hand.

Bet/fold the turn. Then we can re-evaluate whether to v.bet the river.

As played Id raise the river to about 0.80-0.90

What exactly are we accomplishing with a river raise? I'm not sure how many hands he would be calling worse with there. Maybe medium pocket pairs?

I probably would just call the river, but I would raise the turn here.

Bet/bet/bet. I drop sizing down to a non-committing size on the turn/river. 3/4-full pot on flop.

As played definitely raise for value. 7x/2x/Ax/med pairs all call because this guy's at the table to have fun, not fold for hours.

Raise about 2/3 pot on the turn. Don't be scared of the Q. I guess it's a hand like 88 or 99 but the way some folks play it could be anything.

Think about it a little more. When you have a AT on a TQ6 rainbow and you bet and get a call, then another Q rolls off, you have a ton of confidence that your 10 is good there. Why would you get scared of the 2nd Q when your hand was better than the Q BEFORE the next Q comes off? Looking for monsters.

Bet the flop bigger: ~.35-.40. Bet the turn as you have way too much equity to check. Too much equity to not value raise the river.

Bet all the streets. In my opinion he has air. He will call even with a deuce in his hand. You scared he hit a Q? If he did than it is a cooler.

If anyone's interested, he turned up with Q8o otr. Think barrelling turn and folding to a raise was better than the line I took, since with his stats I'm getting value from worse.

He's playing like all the hands and does not fold to c-bet half of the time. His range is .. anything. If he has a monster it is a cooler as i said. When i played 2NL i was sucked up many times like this. But i took 10 times the money from others with the same stats betting for value. I do not even bother to think of what the villains were thinking. All i knew is that they liked to call and they hated to be bluffed.

Raise way more preflop because why wouldn't you? Way more on the flop for the same reason. Bet the turn big for the same reason. River, stick in whatever is left.
