    Default Combo draw vs a fishy

    The villain in this hand is a mega fish 46/10/1.9 Doesn't like folding very much at all. I've seen him c/c the flop and lead/call the turn when he spiked top 2 and he also block -bet/called a river when I was displaying strength.

    $3/$6 No Limit Holdem
    5 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($684.90)
    CO ($597.00)
    BTN ($479.19)
    SB ($1275.70)
    Hero ($1015.05)

    Pre-flop: ($9, 5 players) Hero is BB
    1 fold, CO raises to $24, 1 fold, SB calls $21, Hero calls $18

    Flop: ($72, 3 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, CO bets $56.25, SB calls $56.25, Hero raises to $199, CO folds, SB calls $142.75

    Turn: ($526.25, 2 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks

    Firstly, bet here? Shove here? We have like $800 behind.

    River: ($526.25, 2 players)
    SB bets $402, Hero calls $402

    Secondly, this is a fold right?

    i like how you have played till river tho u could just call along on flop as another option but ill prob raise like you did esp if i can iso fish.

    turn check is good imo, v little FE if we bet.

    tbh i raise>call>fold. this guy is so bad and will bet all his 9x and Jx hand here and prob wont fold to the extra $400 u have left either/
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    You dont thing he ever folds a Jx to a turn shove?

    I'm not so sure a guy like this leads the river so strong with Jx. Surely he would c/c or something?

    a little town called none of your goddamn business
    prob 3-bet preflop to isolate

    uh call river why can't he have trips

    also, i'm not 100% sure that i raise flop. Its essentially a protected pot so your fold equity is rather low, and its significantly likely that you will get it in vs a better draw.

    I c/c flop although I don't think c/r is terrible. Otherwise I play it the same and never fold the river.

    I definitely call along here on the flop and I think it's muuuuch better than check raising. Turn is a std check, and river is a v v v v v tough call. I'd probably call too, but tbh I can't see what he would be betting with that we beat.

    Renton - does he really show up with trip 9's on this river???

    I'd say this is a 50/50 between trips or a Q+ high flush. I'd rather just call the river as passive donks rairly lead out without a strong hand. At least at 10NL

    Even though he's a megafish, I think he hardly ever has a 9 here. More likely you're looking at a range of full houses / flushes / missed straight draw bluffs. This seems pretty close to a fold, especially if he's passive.

    I also like to lead the flop here, perhaps shoving over a raise against some CO opponents.

    even though hes a huge fish i doubt he ever shows up with a 9 unless its accompanied by a J/5
