According to SS, villain is winning reg at these stakes. Seems agro and solid. I have been playing pretty tagish, maybe a bit passively...

How often do you call here? 20% of the time? 30%?

Thanks for replies

Do you have any reads that indicate this is anything other then an Ace?

I'm folding turn, def folding river

T9 is possible also

tough call to make, need more reads.

+1

with the description of villain as solid i don't see him showing up here with enough air.

Yeah, this was good old reversed hand. Villain snap called my shove with his nine, so I had to make sure if it really is so easy call...

maybe he had a read on you.

Calling here is a huge leak

Against people in the 20s I have much worse results tripling on boards where the texture remains constant than I do on boards where something drastic changes.

Nothing too big happened on this board. The T on the river changes very little since very few people will jam a rivered Tx here. Obviously the flush gets there, but people are much less scared of a backdoor flush than they are a rivered flush when you check/call 2 streets. I've tried, they're not.

Basically if you want to bluff donks and regdonks in the 20s/30s, you should focus on how much the hand they have changed, and not so much on what you're repping.

I don't think this should be a snapcall for him, but I think he accidentally made a pretty good call, cause I seriously doubt you're jamming enough thin value here for his call to be bad.

Agreed. This is so dry flop that I generally do 1 stab with air, or against suitable villain, triple barrell. But I have noticed that people on these stakes generally are not capable of slowing "snap-call hands" all the way to river. Usually they c-r flop/turn with their 2p+

But yeah, I have really value-weighted range here on river, and just wondered how the hell he snap-called...

im going to put this into words that you can understand..YOU. ARE. A. STATION.

Because if he could understand and apply the weightings of ranges he wouldn't be playing the $20s. Playing on the same level as your opponent is really important.

He haz pair. Board did not change. He clicks call.

lol, this is the reason why I always win those tilt-shots to $100 and $200 HUSNG`s. Stake, anyone?

Q9 should've raised flop for value IMO.

I am not sure about your river sizing. I sort of like a smaller bet with my entire range without reads/meta.

not calling there
