    Default 2/4 AQo oop - belluga?

    If i deem someone to be a fish and I see them making a play like this I seem to just say oh dam belluga i must be crushed and fold.

    Opp: 44/9/4.3 (AF is deceiving though because his FLOP AF is 10 and the rest is low (turn 1.7 or 24% freq)

    This is probably terrible so please tell me how to play better.
    Why did I flat pre? part stack size, partly the fact that he doesn't raise much so I figure I keep in A10/AJ etc pluse i wasn't worried about IBRA squeezing as his 3bet was 5% ish

    so flop is well awesome right, so I'm happy, I figure he can bluff at it or bet his Ace or whatever. Turn comes and there's some draws out and I think most 44/9 type players would call a turn bet here with FD's and some broadways, plus of course AJ etc so I thought leading was just dandy. Now the minraise woohoo, I figure more often than not I'll also face some dam large river bet here so I have to make my decision now. I hate calling more on turns just to fold rivers so I folded. Of course he's basically repping very little except maybe A10 or 1010 which of course would be the usual 2 or 3 outer which rule. I think this type of player limps 22 or 66 100%

    what can I do here? I think shoving is terrible. If i call what am I happy with on the river other than A or Q? Do you call and then lead a blank river for 1/3 pot and fold to a shove even though you're getting about 4:1?

    its not baluga because he didnt' call flop as well. Its only the second bet to go in postflop, not the third as in teh baluga template.

    clear call imo. there are some people who will have TT here every single time though. oh well.
