Playing 2/5 Table more loose and passive then usual.

Villain Very loose and leans stationary, but not totally clueless. He can fold when clearly beat but pays off with top pair hands too often. Has been hitting the board pretty hard and taking money from a LAGtard who keeps trying to push villain off top pair with missed draws. $1450

Hero Playing TAG game. I'm up because of one hand where I 3 bet to $100 with KK got multiple callers and took it down with a big flop bet. Probably has a losing image overall because I've been pretty card dead and most of the hands I did get where big AX where I raised in LP, whiffed flop entirely and gave up when somebody donked into me. $1300

2 limps from loose passive stations
Villain limps in MP (anything playable and some unplayable, I know he limps KXs in this situation)
LP limp one of the better players at table
Hero has T9s on the button and limps
SB completes seems decent
BB checks super loose passive fish

With a pot full of loose stations I don't think raising has much value but from button I'm happy to see this flop cheap.

Pot is $35

Checks around

I really thought about taking a stab when everybody checked. However, I think there is too much risk of somebody checking a weak KX or better TX on the flop and straight draws that are not going away.

Turn bet is so absurd I have no idea what to make of it. I had not seen villain under bet in several hours of play. I'm am sure he is not betting air into this many people but I wouldn't discount straight draws entirely.

raise/fold to 15. These bets are usually very weak holdings (we can still check back the button otr if called).

I would prefer to raise the button, we get paid when we hit a good hand, and we have position.

I generally treat LOL-small bets as checks (though I'll fold to them if I really have no equity). So here I just bet what I normally would, plus $10 to reflect the extra $5 from his bet and my call of it. I'd normally bet about $30 if checked to me here, so here I bet $40.

I'd throw a green in, V still getting 3-1 on a call.

Flop - I'd bet $30 (OTB). If called, evaluate turn.

Call and overbetraise river

Lots of hands can do this, it can be anything from KK to J9 to A8, but bways are most likely. Go ahead and raise something reasonable now for value and to allow for bigger bets on 9 rivs. If thinks get super active ott then you're likely beat, but that will be easy to navigate through.

On the turn I spazzed out a bit myself and raised to $20. This is a mistake because it's never pricing out any draws and TX isn't about to give up yet. I should have gone $30 or so.

As it was villain calls, everybody else folds.

River is super brick. I wasn't sure what to do at the time. How much can villain have after calling turn that will call another bet on the river that doesn't beat me?

Bet 50 on river. You can get called by a lot of kings.

So confused, just becasue you can't identify a ton of worse hands that call doesn't mean you're value owning yourself. Just size for whatever he bluff catches with, he prob has AA.

The simplest explanation in this situation is to treat the minibet like a check. Make something like your normal bet if you want to bet. Call if you want to check unless you have like no equity
