[5NL] JJ in BB...line check.

Villain is not that unknown:
- he is not full stacked
- he open limps
- 50/25 even over 8 hands already means something most of the time

So, looks fishy to me.

Range? Say:
77(6)
88(6)
TT (6) although he most likely raises TT pre

A4(8)
99(3)
66(3)
45s(2)
34s(2)
64s(1)
44(1)
+ maybe some random slow played AA

Not looking too good, I think it's a fold ott.

edit: actually even without TT you still have a surprising 38.5% equity which is about what you need to break even when you take rake into account. However, since there is some doubt he does that with 77 or 88, I still fold.

agreed

The ratio of VPIP/PFR is quite telling. Though it would be nice if you had more hands on Villain, this is a good early indicator of passive/aggressive style. This is usually indicative of a passive villain when the fraction is less than ~2/3, as with this villain. When passive players suddenly get active, step aside unless you have a monster.

Also, when someone is unknown, assume their hand is stronger than you hope. Keep yourself out of trouble while you establish your reads.


I'd probably raise to $0.30 pre-flop (offering less than 2:1 to the first caller) and C-bet closer to 1/2 pot OTF (low-mid board that missed almost all of the Ax suited hands means that callers probably wont be on draws ).
