Hi,
NL10.
Not many hands played with villain, he seems tight (17/13 on a < 50-hand sample) and did not get out of line so far.
BB: 101.5 BB
BTN: 90.8 BB
Hero (SB): 134.2 BB
Hero posts SB 0.5 BB,
BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K
7
fold,
Hero raises to 3 BB,
BB calls 2 BB
Flop: (6 BB, 2 players) 2
9
7
Hero bets 1.8 BB,
BB raises to 7 BB,
Hero calls 5.2 BB
I wonder if I should check to start with. I prefer to cbet because I would not mind the hand stopping right there + if I check and he starts betting flop + turn I might fold the best hand.
I think calling the x/r is OK here with 2nd pair + an overcard + backdoor flush draw. The price is fair + their play on such a dry board seems weird
Turn: (20 BB, 2 players) 7
Hero checks,
BB bets 15 BB,
Hero ?
Obviously not folding now, but should I raise or let him barrel?
