Just go with your read here. Fold is fine if you really think this calling station can call behind with AA/KK. Otherwise they may think their 77-JJ is the nuts here.

I saw a calling station rec limp AA on the button, in a straddle pot, with 2 other limpers in front. Flopped quad aces and checked down and folded to his river bet.

Edit: Eh, 7 handed makes me shove more often.

this is one of those annoying min-raise spots; I literally found myself in a similar spot against a bad rec player ( I'll post hand later ) and leveled myself into folding thinking that "min-raises are always monsters"

I think you should just call here bc bad players do things that we can't really fathom and his range is probably wider than it may appear

I think you should X most rivers ( unless a 2 or Q hits ) ; and see what he does; if he fires 2/3 psb or more then I think we can safely let it go but I think this is a call on the turn for sure

Wet board vs a calling station?

The near PSB on turn makes me want to fold. Hero blocks FD, does not block trips, A3s. If you think he would wait until the turn and min-raise a huge bet with JJ-, call. As played, I'd fold.

Grunch.

You bet flop and got called. Your turn bet is now too big because button could have you beat or make a play in position and it is very difficult for you to defend against. You wanted to deny odds to draws and that's why you bet big, which is fine, but that's why you find yourself in this gross spot. Min-raises on the turn are super valuey. As played, call turn and check all rivers. If you think V views you as a hyper-nit and would never do this without 2x or a straight, you could even find a fold.

Not that wet, just low ranked+FD.

Either way, if that's your exploit, then you have a very easy fold on the turn right? By definition you're upsizing exploit for a station is clear cut, so when he raises there are no bluffs and no hands worse than a pair, right?

Idk it’s just a spot that I’m lost cause he’s an unknown v only played with him for about 2 hours. I usually am pretty good at pegging someone after a short period of time but I don’t like to go full hog confidence interval after just 2 hours. So I guess I say there’s a 25% chance that he’s the type of player who could consideR raising a hand like JJ so that he can get a cheaper showdown but idk hard to assign an exact % to the profile he is

It’s pretty standard sizing for me in this spot

simply to get a feel for how he plays. He could certainly have 88+ and think it's the uber nuts.

Check/call turn and ck/call river on bricks, and x/r on Q or 2.

AP, idk, probably just fold since you seem to be uncomfortable in this spot, and V is unknown and it's generally better to overfold in low stakes.

Has he shown down any hands? I'm ok with not getting max value out of some overpairs just to see what V plays.
