This is a hand between two other players that I observed. I have almost no hands on them, but still feel pretty confident about the player types. UTG has shown from the few hands that he have played that he is clearly a fish,
and BB is a 12-tabeling grinder.
When the BB check-calls a tiny bet on the flop, check-call a 1/2 bet on turn and bet out pot on the river I think the only hands in his range is JT and JT, T8, 86. And I think he have 0% bluffs in his range. He wouldn't try to bluff a bad player in a small pot when the stacks are still deep. If he had a set he would for sure have bet on the flop or turn, and on that river I don't think it's likely that a reg bets pot against a bad player with anything worse than a straight.
Not a very exciting hand, but I just wonder if you agree with my read, or if im way off. Wich other hands could he realistically have in his range the way the hand has been played?

Likely diamonds or JT. I think your combos are too narrow though, A9dd/A7dd are very likely, maybe even 9xdd, 7xdd. Obviously just because he's a 12 tabler doesn't mean he's any good.

Yea, definitely wouldn't make a habit of narrowing ranges down that far...

Actually I would discredit A9dd/A7dd since I'd say a grinder would re-raise a 1BB bet on the flop with any pair + top kicker

I put him on 9xdd/7xdd with low kickers (at best 9Ts, 78s)

How did it turn out?

-J of H

Thanks for the answers.
