BB is 50/6/0 in 35 hands. Thoughts on the river decision as well as the hand as a whole are appreciated, thanks.

SB: 173.31 BB
BB: 88.76 BB
Hero (UTG): 100 BB
CO: 121.85 BB
BTN: 73.63 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K

Hero raises to 2.5 BB, fold, fold, fold, BB calls 1.5 BB

Flop: (5.5 BB, 2 players) 9

BB checks, Hero bets 2 BB, BB calls 2 BB

Turn: (9.5 BB, 2 players) 2

BB bets 4.51 BB, Hero calls 4.51 BB

River: (18.52 BB, 2 players) A

BB bets 14 BB, Hero?

Hard to find any bluffs in Villains range while Hero crushes this board. So we are fairly down in our range already and dont need to hero this one down.

What’s he repping on the turn though? J2? 92? He’s playing a lot of hands and he could show up with these, but his line makes no sense for value.

I think turn is just a raise for value. He is unlikely to play 2p+ too often like this.

Otr-This line is over bluffed by fish a lot

He can have lot of 78, 7T, 8T, Q8 combos to bluff so you should call.

Interesting, I didn't really think about raising the turn for value as I figured if he was bluffing I'd let him keep bluffing, because the 2s changed nothing. Wasn't sure what he would continue with for value either, so just went for the call. His line made no sense for value on either the turn or the river.

bigger otf

raising turn since it does not put any strong hands in villains range

calling river since we block straights and this would be a bizarre way to play two pair

Those calling for a turn raise, what sizing do you recommend? I kind of like a min raise just to try to get to showdown cheaply and fold to a reraise but I am not sure if that is correct. Against a passive fish I think that may be best.

True, it’s a good outcome to just win the pot on the turn.
