Villain is a regular, maybe slightly more active than your standard Tags you find in these games, but doesn't appear to get out of line. I'm not sure if he has a 3-bet range in this spot preflop.

I'm thinking his bluffing range is something like KJ/QJ, maybe all broadways. Not sure if thats realistic.

Folds river. What is his range after pealing this flop? Were not ahead here very often, unless you have a good read that he is likely to be on a stone bluff. Fold

Pf raise is a lil too loose imo.

Also, what do you mean he doesn't have a 3! range here?

Call for meta game, make a note for the future.

If you had opened in later position I'd be more likely to bluff catch here.

I can't really speak to how often you are ahead in a 2/4 online game, but in a live game you are rarely good here.

With only 4 bb in the pot, I think I'm gonna catch a better spot to catch. The only thing that you beat are busted gut shots, which villain shouldn't show up too often with in this small of a pot.

I think Ima fold here.

Pf is good. I'd bet turn to charge them six outers and fold river "ui". As played call river - I agree with your assessment of his range.

Edit - if he were a noticeably passive player even on the loose side I would be 100 percent OK xf river after xb ott.

I'm not sure if his range/the pot size justifies a call here, but maybe his range + the chance you learn something about his peeling range on boards like this make it worth it?

I'm not happy about calling this river, though.

What 6 outers are you referring too?

I thought about betting turn, but felt like the only hands I was targeting were KQ-QJ w/o a club and that range wasn't big enough to make a bet worth it. I also have the wheel draw, so I'm a little less happy about B/F 55 than if I had 66 here.

At the risk of really embarrassing myself, is 42s or 32s in his pf calling range here? Against an UTG+2 raising range of 55+,A9s+,KJs+,QJs,JTs,ATo+,KQo, he'd be a 2.33:1 dog getting 3.5:1 immediate. (Although if you're raising 55 UTG+2, maybe a few more hands like A8s should be added?) Is the postflop playability factor enough to outweigh the favorable pot odds?

Check/calls with piece trying to catch turn. Plans to check/fold the turn UI (42s) or check/raise otherwise (32s), but you don't bet. So he thinks you don't have A.

?

If he has two overs to your 55 like KJ QJ 89 or Q9 etc he has six outs to improve ... However I really dislike - as I think about it more - a bet on the turn. I think calling otr is razor thin as I think about it more and more. Plus as you said it sucks getting crd ott when you improve your draw. Yes I resend my betting turn statement.

I played a hand similar to this where I had 99 from the hj and a lp cc from bb. The board was AQxxQ (no flush though). I played it exactly the same as you except he insta called otf when I Cbet and I folded when he lead the river. Because he's friendly with me he flashed an ace when I folded ... I think versus my 20/40 regular tag brethren I would call because we are constantly trying to level each other ... plus they see I'm calling light they better ****ing have a hand if they're betting into me otr. But a call even in with a tag is still razor thin as I said and serves more meta game value as others have suggested.

Why are you inducing a bluff ?

I think checking this turn against tags is great to combat the ever popular "way ahead way behind" line. Then on the river I call because 1) I want the read, and 2) my turn check may have induced a bluff. With a better read this could be a fold for me, or even a river bluff raise hoping to fold out KK- that was going for thin value.

i call, nh (love the turn check)

edit: i fold preflop & folding river isn't even a consideration as played imo (unless you're exploitatively folding w\ a solid read)

Villain isn't peeling the flop with Q9 or 98 and KQ/-QJ all have at least ten outs against me.
