Villain was a complete random, and this was the second hand, so no reads.
What range would you put him on?

Meh call. Range = missed FD/SDs, tp, 2p, sets, JJ, and random ****.

I'd probably call. Haven't played any of the 16's but I'd think you're ahead of a lot of his range

I don't know . Kinda tough but i don't know how can we say you're ahead in here.

These bets on the river are usually really strong hands. He's figuring you with maybe an overpair and wants you to go through the rough decision, or he's a complete donk value betting hands that could be beaten.

Since he's a random:

AQ+, 99+, or any other crap.

So, as someone said before, he's probably with a set or TPTK.

But... Maybe the turn bet was not so good?

There's already 500 on the Pot (33% of your stack) so, why not shove here? (maybe that's too much of a lowstakes play to do here, but just suggesting)

Easy call. He either has 98 or a FD, and on the river he's either bluffing completely or hit a Q somewhere imo. I'm never folding this.

Oh, and bet more on turn, like ~450.

Raise more on flop, bet more on turn. River is out of question.

Sooo, 80% of the pot on the flop and 60% on the turn is no good? What do you suggest?

I think I'd prefer a push to betting 450 on the turn. IMO pushing actually looks weaker than a 450 bet and will probably get paid off by more hands.

That's very bad for value. He is drawing here such a high% of the time, that you want him to call the turn incorrectly. By shoving they will often fold and you will miss value. But you should definitely charge more on turn.
Same goes for the flop, after you raised your betsize is still smaller than the initial pot, with gives him exactly what he wants: a decent price to see the turn.

Ill make it 190 on flop than I would make it 480 on turn. The thing is these minbets are often draws, and these guys who minbets them usually dont fold them. If he has tp, again he wont fold. If he has something better than you it doesnt matter cause you wont fold. So I try to make betsize as close to pot as possible to charge draws and set up a nice river shove.

edit: meh deurdy was faster .

I call and expect to lose quite often. When it's early I tend to assume I'm playing vs the biggest tard at the table, so you will see some really stupid hands from villain on the river as well.

I think villain must be really crazy/genius if he thinks he can push you out of the pot with a missed draw. Your raises pre/post scream big hand, your bet on turn confirms it.
Villain's bet on flop could mean a draw he wants to see cheaply or a monster looking for action.

You give him lots of action on the flop and turn and the guy is still in there. Either the guy is the biggest fish on earth or he's slow playing.

I don't think the biggest fish on earth would shove it on the river without having you beat..only case it would be if he has KK
