UTG+2 seems to be a loose player (44.44/5.56/0.71 after 18 hands).

He stopped for a few seconds on flop and checked. I bet and got check-raised by him. I put him on holding at least 2 pairs.

Turn did not help me, but I called. I am not sure if this is right. Should I give up on Turn? I would appreciate any comment. Thank you.

This isn't terrible, but I'm thinking dumping the turn is better. I can't see villain c/r'ing and then barreling a FD the 1 in 6 we need to call. Some villains, sure, but I'd get a better read before assuming our guy was like this.

I fold the turn

Grunch

Nh until the river.

I don't understand why we should fold the turn. I mean hes unknown theres a straight draw/flush draw and the J+lower PP's could be in his range.

I may fold the turn here against a total unknown. His stats are only for 18 hands and may be virtually useless.

But, although it may be a leak, I'm more likely to call the river here for information. *sheepish grin*

Like I said, calling down isn't horrible and you'll learn something about vil in the process. However, when a seemingly passive vil c/r's this hand HU I'm guessing he doesn't have a draw.

Agreed, I just don't think 18 hands is enough to make us think for sure he's that passive.

*grunch*
Pre-flop raise is fine.
On flop pot odds are 8.4 to 2->4.2 to 1. There are 5 outs to improve your hand: 2 Jacks and 3 Aces. 5*4 = ~20% -> 4 to 1 underdog, but still making it OK to have a peek at the turn, right?
turn: blank-> you: fold

one day we will be better players, playing vs hand ranges instead of calling down to get informations.

until that day, lets call down. and fold to a river bet vs a hand range a loose opponent could be raising vs our flop cbet.

here is his range:

any two spades, K2o+,QTo+,J2o+

here is your pot equity: 50% (bad river fold indeed)

This pot is not big. Do we really want to call down to find out what the villain has?
