Hero is the effective stack ($500). Looks down at 96 on the button. Middle position raise 12$(fun player), Hijack calls loose passive player, I call on the button, SB fold, BB(Main villain)Not much history, few hands on the table looks solid player (600$) call as well

Flop (49$): 7 5 2
BB(Main Villain) leads out for 15$ , folds to me I raise to 45$ .. He calls.

Turn ($139): 9
Villain checks and we bet 50$. He check-raises 120$ ?
My thought proccess here is that he has some pairs+gutshot(78,98 or 56) not many two pairs maybe 7 9.. Consider also that we block some of the strongest hands. (86) (99) (or 97)..
Do we just call?
I went all in. He calls
Would appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Fold pre.

I'm a little confused about the entire hand. A solid player re-pops you and you jam 96s for a baby flush draw? What does villain think you have?

Also worth mentioning, villain has a wider range than you think. Your range for villain is optimistic.

Villain isn't showing any sign of being concerned, called the flop raise and c/r the turn. While it might be possible to suck out, I don't see how you aren't crushed here. There's about 0 FE going AI here.

Without wanting to sound too antagonistic... why? Like you raised the guy on the flop, why would he small checkraise a pair + gutshot? Is he trying to bluff out a hand that raised the flop by making it $70 more into a pot of $239? If you had a pair + gutshot, is that what you'd do?

This is just 86/99/97 every time, and probably 86 a majority of the time. LLSNL players rarely bluff raise, so if you want to put one of them on a bluff raise, the bluff has to be extremely plausible. This raise doesn't come close to a plausible bluff for multiple reasons.

Also, you beat most pair + gutshot hands and they're not calling if you shove, so shoving doesn't achieve anything even if that's what he has.

Fold pre

Flop raise is ok (we have 9 hi and lots of equity) although I'd go bigger. 60-70 sounds better.

Check back turn. We now have some showdown value.

You're absolutely right!
This is the perfect example of a hand where I can immediately identify that I made a big mistake. And this is also a serious leak that needs to get fixed asap.The line that this particular player has taken here clearly indicates that he has 86/99 /97!
I am trying to improve myself. I haven't yet discussed poker strategy with anyone...
He had 86s
