20...9 handed...villian is unknown and it is his first hand..30 ish. He's wearing sandles so he may play higher limits.

Folded to me in SB and I raise KsJh, he calls.

AsQh8d...I bet he calls.

AsQh8dJc....What is my play?

Check call, not close. Not many worse hands to get value from. You even block a king-hi.

Maybe he was 'running' bad in the big game and feeling de-feet-ed?

Check call the turn.

I don't see how check and call isn't best.

You have a showdownable hand that doesn't beat much anymore that can call a bet, and you have 4 nut cards in the deck to buffer your equity. Comfortably check call.

Just an observation. I first noticed it while watching a hgher limit mix game a few years back. literally everone had sandals on. Since then I notice it to be a trend, especially amongst the regs.

I thought maybe the sandals thing meant that he’s Jesus and has an infinite bankroll which is why he plays high stakes. Being that it was Easter and all.

Thanks OnTheRail15!

Most likely correct 99.9999999% of the time with whatever decision he argues as being optimal.

With that said, in blind vs blind though, doesn't situation ever come up where this would be a bet/call to induce bluffs or even bet/fold (I would never do bet/fold since I'm a calling station) once there are history between villain and HERO?

In the case for OP, vs and unknown, I would check/call turn almost always even with history since I'm just an ABC TAG.

But how do they hold up when you're being chased?
