Villain is a 9 tabler, might even be one of you.

I have him at 27/24. He probably views me as being pretty aggro.

Notes: Check/shoved with a flopped 2pr as the pfr

Folding the flop felt kind of weak, but could be ok against some villains.


Is the turn a standard bet/fold? Anyone like checking behind and calling a river bet if it bricks?

Comments on all streets appreciated.

lol at hand 1! I just check behind here. Nothing you beat calls and you could get c/r. If he has AK/AQ you only have to dodge 6 outs and that's not bad since you don't know where you're at.

If I am calling a blank river, isn't there some merrit to set the price my self with a turn bet?

Villain would have to be somewhat maniacal to c/r the turn with air after I called pre and called the flop.

check behind, possibly call a river bet

check behind on the turn. Call a safe river.

rivercheck by villain in hand 1 is not lol.
