Hand is kinda old, so don't remember specific reads. Villain was one of those "purple color coded players" which i consider loose passive if not for random spazzes where they seem to play w eyes closed like Luke in A New Hope when he puts the blast visor down... but it doesn't mean every time he goes nuts there's nothing behind it. My notes were: "can slowplay AA - can call cbet w 8c6h on JdTs8s - ch/ch Ac - then lead Kh riv". He was a losing player.

So when he takes The Ultimate Strength Line (ch-call, ch-r small) on this board, it's either a jam or fold, right? And entirely read-based? I'm pretty sure I made the worst decision on the turn, and then compounded it further with a bad fold.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 34.5 Tournament, 10/20 Blinds (2 handed)

BB (t1290)
Hero (SB) (t1710)

Hero's M: 57.00

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9, 9
Hero bets t60, BB calls t40

Flop: (t120) 7, 8, 8 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t80, BB calls t80

Turn: (t280) 5 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t220, BB raises to t520, Hero calls t300

River: (t1320) 5 (2 players)
BB bets t630 (All-In), Hero folds

Total pot: t1320

Any idea what he would do with ace high on a two-pair board?

i think this was our first and only paired board

That sucks, but turn looks like a fold given your reads.

I'd fold turn
