Merge $5RB: Blocking Bet OTR Weak 2Pair

Villain 17/3, but only over 30 hands/3 orbits. Pretty basic c/c OTT + weak blocking bet OTR? More OTR? Should I even complete this PF in the first place?

Re: Merge $5RB: Blocking Bet OTR Weak 2Pair

raise any 2 vs someone that nitty, though limp/fold and bet any flop when he doesn't raise pf is fine too. I'd bet a bit smaller on the flop (min bet is fine, I wouldn't go bigger than 200) but not a big deal. Turn I'd c/f had he bet bigger, as is call is fine. I'd probably just c/f river unless he bets super small again.

I wouldn't complete I would just raise if I were you. He's folding a lot pre and also if he does call there are plenty of scenarios where you can bet and get him to fold or even fire two barrels and get him to fold.

Calling makes it hard to play your hand especially since you're out of position.

Re: Merge $5RB: Blocking Bet OTR Weak 2Pair

he's 17/3 bvb? Hot damn raise it up pf or fold!

as played line seems fine to me. 17/3 could surely surely check a weak ace here pre but I'd rather bet river than have to call a larger bet.

If he did indeed raise, I would /shrug fold.

Re: Merge $5RB: Blocking Bet OTR Weak 2Pair

When between 10 and 20 blinds deep and in the SB, I often struggle to decipher if raising, calling, or folding is best. I guess there are Nash and Stove tools available, though would benefit an easy way to generally go about knowing what best to do.

Don't limp pre. Dislike turn and river. Turn should be a bet and river is a c/x
