V -Loose passive player. He tends to call a lot preflop with some goofy hands like 54o and then continue with a gutshot.
Hero A:J: raises to $20, V(BU) calls
Flop($50) A 5 5:
Hero bets $25, V calls
Turn($100) K:
Hero - ???
This card improves my range, but now my AJ isn't good anymore against any ace. What can I get value from?
I'd continue to bet, probably 2/3 pot or more.
You can get value from Kx, heart draws, worse spade draws, and non-believing PP's. You can also improve to a better 2P on a J, a flush on a spade, and a boat on another A or 5.
Turn is pretty 50/50. It’s not purely a value bet (I’m checking almost all AJ- without a FD), but playing OOP OTT isn’t purely about value vs bluffs. You’d just like a stronger mix of hands for when the pot gets bigger and don’t need as strong a mix of hands for when it’s smaller.
