    Default 1/2 top pair weak kicker

    Villain is 41/21/2.2 over 120 hands. No reads but he hasn't done anything dumb yet. He was calling like 50% out of the BB over that sample.

    Comments on all streets and river please.

    $1/$2 No Limit Holdem
    3 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    Hero (BTN) ($209.35)
    SB ($204.10)
    BB ($246.40)

    Pre-flop: ($3, 3 players) Hero is BTN
    Hero raises to $7, SB folds, BB calls $5

    Flop: ($15, 2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $12, BB raises to $30, Hero calls $18

    Turn: ($75, 2 players)
    BB bets $33, Hero calls $33

    River: ($141, 2 players)
    BB bets $136,

    Easy turn fold probably even fold flop. I have no idea why you're even considering calling the river.

    River isn't really the main decision I wanted to discuss. I think the flop/turn are more important.

    FWIW though unless he's turning sets etc. into bluffs on the river is he not really polarized to AdXd and air (not really sure what air he can have though) with this almost pot size bet. And why would he bet so small on the turn with the nut flush and leave such a bad pot size on the river.

    Uhhh...... Uhhh.....

    I'm seriously considering a river call, FWIW.

    But I'm a huge station.

    yea id fold turn most times.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    Bad players, the kind with vpip's over 40, often like to bet small with the nuts (or whatever they consider the nuts) to keep you in with a draw or worse hand. Then if you call they try to make up for it by betting bigger on the next street.

    Villain is passive, and I doubt he's bluff raising too often, esp OOP. I'd probably just fold flop, and yah fold turn.

    even if he was bluffing on the flop, he got there on the turn so I'll fold turn
    the only hands you beat are like random bluffs 22-55

    As soon as I sensed the onset of butt puckerage on the turn, I would fold every time.

    Definately a turn fold imo.

    But once you get to the river, it seems interesting that he bets so big. I guess we're putting villain on exactly AdXd or KdXd ?
