Super polarised turn spot, float?

    Default Super polarised turn spot, float?

    Villain 18/16/3 over 118 hands, cbets 89 and hasn't been to the turn really.

    I can't stand thinking villain is repping no other made hand then a boat with his turn betsizing. And it's probably the best bluffcard in the deck....so call?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB ($50)
    BB ($55.05)
    UTG ($29.95)
    MP ($50)
    Hero (CO) ($52.15)
    Button ($49.45)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with J, A
    1 fold, MP bets $1.50, Hero calls $1.50, 3 folds

    Flop: ($3.75) K, 5, K (2 players)
    MP bets $2, Hero calls $2

    Turn: ($7.75) Q (2 players)
    MP bets $6, Hero ?

    And why is that?? Seems like a normal bet to me. But calling here is spew unless u know a lottttt more about his tendencies.

    Bringing the mind home.
    Easy fold now, but I call the turn if it's a heart so we can stack his AK or KJ or whatever.

    I think you can just fold pretty confidently

    I agree with this.

    I don't mind the flop call. He could be C betting a huge part of his range here. I think we can safely fold the turn. I think there are better spots for a float against this type of player.

    Why are we calling pre to begin with? Seems iffy vs this particular player. And if you're plan is to float someone c-betting 85% or whatever on a board like this I think I'd expect him to shut down once the flop is called.

    Once he bets the turn you can just bail, unless the turn is a heart I guess.

    I don't really get it, why would he bet a little over half pot on the flop and then close to pot the turn when I basically have no continuing range besides 55, KQ, KJs, AQ and MAYBE TT sometimes, and a wide folding range.

    It's definately true my range is as static as it can be, but if he's thinking about that he's the first person I see doing that at 50NL.

    Your overthinking things minsim. Your trying to figure what hes thinking when the reality is, he's prolly not thinking at all. He bets half pot on the flop cause he feels like it..or maybe he made a monster and wants to keep you in. Once you call he realises that he has to create a bigger pot to win more $$ so he bets bigger. Kapeesh. I doubt he's thinking about the range you continue with or what he thinks his perceived range is etc etc.

    If we're going from a strong range for villain here.

    What's the worst made hand you'd call with here? Why that hand?

    What changes if villain bets 4.50 instead of 6.00 ?
