Everest Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $2/$4 (HH Converter by Kreatief)

BB ($410.50)
UTG ($412.30)
UTG+1 ($209.10)
UTG+2 ($141.20)
MP1 ($221.60)
MP2 ($354.18)
MP3 ($128.80)
CO ($1,227.88)
BTN ($230.00)
SB ($396.00) ___ (Hero)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T, Q
4 folds, MP2 raises to $8.00, MP3 calls $8.00, CO calls $8.00, 1 folds, Hero calls $6.00, 1 folds,

Flop: 6, 8, Q ( $36 )
Hero checks, MP2 bets $4.00, MP3 calls $4.00, CO calls $4.00, Hero raises to $56.00, 2 folds, CO calls $52.00,

Turn: 9 ( $156 )

I call pre cause odds are ok if I flop well. On the flop TPWK isn't that strong but as noone shows the remotest sign of strength I decide its good enough to take the pot down. I didn't expect a call and don't really have a plan now (bad I know). What's the best line to continue?

Villain was unknown when hand took place. The other two were donks.

142$, he probably got midpair or a gutshot EVP

This spot sucks. No option is really all that pleasant unless he folds (unlikely) or you hit your double-gutter on the river.

Given the way that Villain played the hand up to now, I actually think I throw out something like $80 here, folding to a raise and checking most rivers where I don't improve. It may not be the best play, but I'm going to assume Villain is passive and probably bad given flop play, so I don't expect to get bluffed off the best hand that often.

What range do we put him on?
I can see something like
1 pair + draw
2 draw
3 weak top pair
4 float with air against my "steal"
5 weirdly played monster

Hard to come up with percentages, but I should still be ahead against most of his range. Turn helped 75, 89 and Q9 though.

@Proofrock
so you are betting for value?

It's too narrow just to think in terms of betting for value or bluffing, but I'd say yes it's a value bet. I expect it will only get raised by hands that are way stronger than ours and will get called by worse (T9, 97, diamond draws). Hands that are slightly better than ours will likely just call again giving us decent odds to draw, and most importantly I don't think this player will be value-betting the river with one-pair hands and will rarely have better than a 1-pair hand if he calls again (giving us room to possibly c/c if the river blanks all the draws).

Not sure about your raise sizing. It looks suspiciously large - something like 36 would do the same job and make it easier to bet again. Some sort of read on villain would be helpful. As played, you probably priced out most draws. I don't think I want to get it in with this hand (so max 1 more bullet), so after the huge call and turn blank, I probably check unless I know this guy is not a calling station.

120 for value against his range.
