Live 1-2

Villain, $214 20s Asian guy, not much reads on him but he is drinking beer and seems like the Rampage type lol
Hero, $500 Standard TAG, I don't get out of line very often but do a bit here.

Folds to Villain who limps in the CO for $2.
Hero is OTB and raises $15 with Q2. I know this should be a fold pre but I've been playing very tight and card dead and want to mix up every once in a while to be less obvious. Here I feel I could maybe isolate the limper in position and play some poker from there.
Only Villain calls.

Pot is $33. Heads up vs. Villain.

Q34

Villain checks.
Hero C-Bets for $14.

Now villain waits like 10 seconds shuffling his chips and then announces all in for $150.
Hero?

Yes I know I should've just folded pre but as played what do you guys think I should do? I have a good bluff catcher with the top pair. When he donk jams like that I put him on a busted draw (such as clubs) or a premium made hand (56 gets there for the straight and also backdoor flush gets there). It's just such a weird spot for him to donk overbet jam and I have no good reads on this player besides that he's drinking.

Turn should be a check-back with top pair worst kicker. You can bet QJ+ on turn.

Fold river is standard as played. Some points about that: This river is really good for your range because you’re c-betting flop with all your BDFD suited spades hands. You continue betting all these hands on the turn. So you show up with a ton of flushes here on the river. Maybe 30 combos. You also show up with 3 combos of straights with 65. You can also call with top pair holding a spade, like AsQx, KsQx, or QsX. You have a lot of better hands to call down with than Q2s, so fold is totally standard here from a “GTO” perspective.

agree with ChaosInEquilibrium about equilibrium (would like to add that we could check back flop and bet turn, but one of the two makes for a good checkback). Preflop sure it's loose but whatever it's fine, I could justify much worse.

As for deviating from equilibrium, what I've heard of Rampage is he is a professional but not a top-tier pro, so IDK if by "the Rampage type" you mean you think he is a good player or bad player lol. I'mmore likely to fold if he is good for the reasons already listed, but more likely to call if he is bad since it is difficult to bluff appropriately rarely on this runout

I think river is a fold: 1) pot odds aren’t great for calling with such a weak hand; 2) river is underbluffed, 3) you can definitely find better spots; 4) your image is very tight and you’ve bet two streets already.

Agree w/ check back turn and fold river as played. Also raising Q2s otb is fine.

fold pre. i'd also rather over limp (2nd choice), or raise smaller (3rd choice).


I'd fold the river. flop and turn look fine as played.
