100NL Top two facing heat from NIT

[freechus9]

So this guy is a 14/9/2.5 nit with no history. I haven't seen him get out of line and we've been staying out of each other's way.

If you aren't going to 3bet the flop then just crai the turn.

I think this line is best because a nit may fold AK or AQ to a flop 3bet but will probably feel pot stuck if he bets, especially when he picks up the gutter. If he has 222 then obviously gg.

Donk the turn.

OK so I checked and he bets 20. Now what?

My thoughts are that he wouldnt raise AK/AQ on the flop. If anything he'd call down to extract. AA and AK also raise pre almost always. JJ I can see calling... So I'm up against JJ/22/AJ almost always here. Still think its a c/rai?

if he has you beat you just have to pay the man. you have a monster..so get it in there.

what range are you guys honestly putting him on? I would say that he raises flop with AQ close to 0% of the time, and with AK once in a while, and then almost always checks back the turn with either, since that is the sane play to make when you are a nit. This is a pretty damn interesting hand even though it is at 50nl and deserves a much more thoughtful discussion than you guys are giving it.

My thinking exactly. I can't see anything we beat making a play like this cept a bluff, and last time I checked, nits don't tend to bluff unknowns in huge pots like this.

Another thought, this frop is dry as hell. If he has a set/top 2, why would he be raising instead of calling? Basically I think his entire range calls a flop bet a good amount of the time, so raising doesn't make that much sense unless hes kind of bad/expects us to stack off with TPTK.

So he has 222 85% of the time, JJJ ~5-10% and bluffs the rest? Even nits spaz out occasionally, and if we fold here we're only calling with AAA/JJJ. (I'm not advocating to call because I'm worried about being exploited, I just think our hand is too big to fold when we don't have that strong a read)
