JT turns top 2 vs fish.

Results 1 to 6 of 6
  1. #1

    Default JT turns top 2 vs fish.

    Villain is 48/24 over 60 hands and seems incapable of folding anything from the big blind preflop. I've seen him lead with a bunch of flopped pairs including top pair before in 2 and 3 way pots. I haven't seen him build a big pot yet or make big bluffs.

    I felt like I could easily just raise this turn donk bet for value since he has worse two pairs and top pair/ 2nd pair/ draws etc that he isn't going to fold.

    His line is so weird, but what air can he actually show up with here? I don't expect him to bet this much for value with a worse hand than mine since he's been "small balling" or whatever with marginal hands up until now.

    No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    BB ($184.75)
    UTG ($113.55)
    MP ($111.55)
    CO ($105.50)
    Hero (Button) ($130.30)
    SB ($247.75)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 10, J
    3 folds, Hero bets $3.50, 1 fold, BB calls $2.50

    Flop: ($7.50) 7, 10, 5 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $4.50, BB calls $4.50

    Turn: ($16.50) J (2 players)
    BB bets $5, Hero raises $18.50, BB calls $13.50

    River: ($53.50) 5 (2 players)
    BB bets $38, Hero?

    I'd call, if the river was anything other than a club pretty much I'd probably raise. I don't hate raising though I think it's pretty thin.

    I'm calling because you don't have to be good that often.

    I think id call. Given the type of player he is i wouldn't be surprised if he rivered something goofy here but he could also have a lot of pair and gut shots on the turn that hes now turning into a bluff.

    Noone gets a bit worried that he might not have many if any bluffs here given how he's been playing previous pots? This is literally the first time he's bet mopre than like 1/3rd pot and I've seen him bet small in multiple streets with weakish/medium made hands. I just don't see what he needs to turn into a bluff here and there's no way I can imagine this guy playing a pair+ oesd this way he's far more likely to bet really small or c/c or c/f imo.

    I guess i didn't stress how weakish/gay betty he'd been playing enough in my original post. Does this change anything for people?
