Villain is a new player. Haven't seen him before, no reliable stats yet.
Lately I've been raising these turns where I have plenty of equity vs weaker players.
Then we get to the awkward river spot, where we don't beat anything. I guess we could say at least Q7 beats J7/T7/97 etc.
I think we have 2 sizing options here. If we bet 1/3 I think we can get called really light by any pair, Ahi (A7) would fold I guess.
We could also bet really big and try to rep the 3x, and therefore get villain to fold his 6x type hand that he peeled with.
If he would only call draws OTT, then I think it's a sweet spot to get him off from those hands.
I think with ½ pot, we may get some weak pair to fold, and also it's cheap enough to get K7/A7/Q7/J7/T7/97 and all the FD's (Ahi Khi Qhi Jhi Thi 9hi)
So do you guys like this line? I went for ½ pot > 1/3 for the reasons mentioned. Maybe 1/3 might induce some random bluff as well.
This is actually a 400nl hand, but posting it here since mid stakes forum seems dead. From my experience, turn raises get a lot of respect from weaker players, they don't just randomly whale it off, but put more thought into their decisions. This rec was playing slowly and somewhat conservative.
