Main villain is in the big blind - we are 260 effective. He is a fish playing hands like q3o, 72 and random garbage hands. We have a history and he is just returning to poker after a hiatus because of running very badly.

Otth:

Hero utg KK: raise to 10

Mp BTN and BB calls

Flop (41): Q 6s 2s

X I bet $27 BB calls.

Turn (95) 7o

Villain leads $48

Hero ??

Think it comes down to your read - you said you have history. Would villain lead if he had say 67 on the flop or would he check to induce a bet? Could villain have a hand like Q10 and be trying to get to a cheap showdown? Would he ever take this line if he flopped 2 pair or better? These are the questions i would be asking myself.

I am not folding here. I ask myself above questions and if I think a made hand is likely I call, if I think draw raise probably just ship it going for max value.

Raise bigger pf with this player in the bb. As played call and plan on calling river.

If you have a history with the villain you should give us more info about him.

Think we have a clear call. Raising seems like an overplay. There’s no straights out there, though, and I’m not willing to give this guy a set straight away. Could just as easily have turned a combo draw or have 7sXs and be setting his own price on the turn.

Clear call. What's the river?

Bigger pre when we're UTG and this guy is in BB. $15 minimum, maybe even $20.

Bigger OTF. With a whale in the hand, I'm potting ($40) for max value against Qx, spade draws, and other bullshit he's inclined to call with.

AP, if you have history you should have a read on the most important thing: is he only aggressive with strong made hands, or does he mix it up and bet/raise bluffs or marginal holdings?

Without more info, easily calling turn. This can be a spade draw trying to set their own price or another draw with additional equity, Qx trying to get to showdown, or turned 2-pair/flopped set. Raising is an overplay for sure.

River?

At least $15 pre. I actually like jamming vs this guy, because I expect him to call with all of his spade draws that he's trying to set a price for, and all Qx that he's blocker betting.

From our history, villain mixes it up.

I flatted his turn bet - river was 10s and he leads $100. I table talk abit - and he says he has the flush and I should fold. He said this same type of thing a few months ago where he 4bet me allin where I had QQ, and he told me he had Aces and he did lol.

I folded and he shows 98ss for the flush.

Knowing that he VPIPs way too high made me quite concerned of turned two pairs.
