Hi everyone
I was reviewing my game and what i found is that the hardest spots i have been were when i was at the BB, looking in poker tracker i call about 55.34% of time over ~70k hands.
Kind of a Loose pre Flop range, yet standard raise size is 2x to 2.25x and i feel ok with my postflop game.
However i'm having trouble playing some weak second pair hands on the turn ,
Lets say we flat T9 and the Flop is Q92
And we face a 1/2 pot c-bet, we call and the turn is the 6 and villain fires a 1/2 or bigger, hard to say if Thats a call or fold vs a reg villain
Do you play tighter than that out of BB?
How do you play turns and river with weak made hands?
How do you balance your range and avoid being exploited in those situations?

Hello your questions are really large but i will try my best.
I think that defending between 50 and 60 pourcents of your BB vs 2x is totally fine.
You can adjust it depending on how much your opponent use to steal OTB obv.

Concerning you T9 example you gotta call two streets on that texture vs unknow reg with that hand imo.

It's totally normal to get exploited in this situation and you cant really avoid that.
When yu hit something in this configuration you should just tell to yourself how many streets yu can decently pay, how high you are in your range and follow your plan.
So maybe be ready to call 1 street with 2x, 2 with 9x, 3 with a decent queen to quickly sum up.
