Hero covers.
Villain limps MP and BTN, SB limp as well.
We look down at K9hh in BB and check.
Given your read so far, do you think he's got a tighter or looser old-man MP open limping range (A2-A5s, A8s+, ATo+, JTo+, JTs+, 44-99, few combos of 76s-T9s)?
Asking this because I also have trouble coming up with a hand range for these seemingly tight-ish (b/c of their age) opponents who open limp in late position.
The tighter he is, the more Ax he would seem to have by the river, and the more straightforward he is the less likely he'd be turning 2pair into a bluff on the river.

SB Checks, we bet 20, villain calls. Fold, fold.
Pot 60
Turn Qh
We bet 50, Villain snap calls. (I feel like this might be too thin).
Pot: 160
River is Js.
We check.
Villain bets 65 very quickly.
hero???
Is the K or the T a
? Reason being that it adds T
x
and K
x
combos that would play this way and potentially be chopping / opt to bluff the river here.
If he's tight then the aces he'd show up with on the river would be A
x
, AK (less combos since he may raise pre/on the flop), AQ (may not peel the flop/snap call the turn) AJ (less combos as he's likely raising the turn)
AT is likely, but maybe doesn't snap call the turn.
That said, even the more passive/tight regulars may see a chance to make a cheap bluff here with Kx (or even small 2p like QJs) that would call twice and then opt to bet the river.
