    Default Easy call???

    Villain is new, but seems semi tight. Also how is my line here?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($108.95)
    BB ($57)
    UTG ($200.25)
    Button ($57.90)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 9, 8.
    UTG raises to $4, 1 fold, Hero calls $3.50, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($9) 7, K, T (2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $7, Hero raises to $21, UTG calls $14.

    Turn: ($51) 5 (2 players)

    Jager,

    Only hands that beat you are AQ and Q9. A semitight doesnt raise Q9 UTG and he doesnt call the flop with just AQ (gutshot). River is an easy call, especially with only 100bb stacks.
    Flop line is ok, I would often fire again on the turn though to maximize my FE (very few will fold to your flop raise with vulnerable hands like KJ/KQ/AK, so if you dont plan to follow through on the turn then I like a flop lead much better, because its a cheaper kind of bluff than the 3xflopcheckraise).

    AQ is possibly played this way, but probably not.

    I would normally fire again, but I didn't becasue of the unknown villain and that I have been getting pushed lately on the turn when I have a draw. He turned AQ for my 2nd understraight of this session.
