    Default Time for a Hero call after donking flop + turn? - 50NL

    Villain is 40/22/1.7 over only 44 hands. He has goldstar showing. Not really sure what to think of that. No specific reads. He called both flop and turn pretty quickly. Wait for a better spot to make hero calls?

    Any comments on PF, donking flop + turn and wanting to C/C river?

    MP ($74.35)
    CO ($58.55)
    Button ($20.25)
    SB ($60.20)
    Hero (BB) ($50)
    UTG ($50)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with ,
    1 fold, MP bets $1.50, CO calls $1.50, 2 folds, Hero calls $1

    Flop: ($4.75) , , (3 players)
    Hero bets $3.50, MP calls $3.50, 1 fold

    Turn: ($11.75) (2 players)
    Hero bets $7.50, MP calls $7.50

    River: ($26.75) (2 players)
    Hero checks, MP bets $61.85 (All-In), $37.50 to Hero

    I would bet the river myself vs this guy. As played I think river's a fold without more information. I have a hard time seeing him doing this with worse for value.

    Preflop is meh. I'd rather squeeze more often than call as long as he tends to dislike folding to 3 bets which is likely.

    Postflop I don't mind your line but as I said before I'd bet the river myself.

    Would you be B/Fing river or B/Cing? Also, how much would you be betting on that river?

    Pf you could make arguments for calling or squeezing here. I'm squeezing here almost always if CO is fishy aswell. You've put yourself in a little bit of a weird spot... mainly cause you don't have reads on how vill reacts to this kind of line (or do u?), which of course are super important. Think the decision on whether or not to call mainly comes down to timing and in my experience...quick calls, in general, aren't usually nut/strong hands.

    yea same from my experience.

    CO isnt fishy but not good either and is looose. It was close for me between squeezing or flatting pre.

    he probably has Ad2d... or maybe 66/55/qq, these guys (44/22) are bad enough to slowplay on that flop but you have to figure that out via timing... generally I bet river and rarely expect to have to b/f although i guess you probably have to.. as played i dont think anyone can tell you without having seen how bad the guy is... i kinda want to call

    tbh i fold pre frequently and squeeze the rest of the time.

    I agree with rather b/f´ing myself and I dont think Id fold as played when shoving is his only chance of getting you off your hand with how the board ran out.
