Villains playing couple of tables fairly tight appears to be a good player. Ive been fairly tight so far.

The hand



$0.10 BB (6 handed) - Converted at http://www.handhistoryconverter.com

CO ($6.6t
SB ($17.39)
Hero (BB) ($8.71)
UTG ($10.52)
MP ($10.05)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, A
UTG calls $0.10, 4 folds, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.25) Q, A, 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $0.25, Hero calls $0.25

Turn: ($0.75) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $0.56, Hero calls $0.56

River: ($1.87) 7 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $0.93,


Thoughts?

Meh, would expect him to raise any high A that he might bet for value now, as well as AQ. But (apart from things that beat you) he can valuebet A2, A7, maybe 78 and maybe bluffing (not expecting that tbh), or he can have the same hand. Kinda trivial call for this price I'd think, raising won't get any calls from worse most likely.

ax, kj, j10, 54s, qq, aa, 22, maybe 8x. He did limp in so he probably has a wide range.

His limping range might be wide (although I would not say a good player has a wide limping range) but I doubt his range for betting this river is. Don't really expect him to bet, say, AT-A3 that isn't two pair now, if he even limps that preflop. Might get better answers on the non-full ring board.

Thanks for responses,

Results


Hero calls $0.93

Total pot: $3.73

Results:
Spoiler:

Hero didn't show 8, A (two pair, Aces and Eights).
UTG had A, Q (two pair, Aces and Queens).
Outcome: UTG won $3.55



I didn't think there would be any worse hands that would call a raise and thought my hand was too strong to fold so called. Did not expect to see AQ pop up though, didn't expect it to be limped UTG.

Interesting hand non the less

Depends also on V's stats. There regs 14/3 and a 3b of 1%. So they are limping a lot of pretty strong hands. And an other factor I would consider is how loose and aggressive the table is. Some times when there are loose aggressive players that like to 3b a lot, and they are to act after me, Im limping too with premium hands sometimes. Many weak players get confused and it's easy to get even stacks some times

Easy call for this price.

P. S. Good players does not limp UTG, I suppose.

Villain does not appear to be a good player limping AQ utg.. he would need a very good reason to do so. He definitely didn't have one. Also his flop pot sized bet is kind of stupid, think about what it achieves.. not much ..

Your line is fine, I would probably raise preflop as I wouldn't expect an unknown to limp much better Ax preflop on UTG and so I would perceive his range more towards small PP, suited connectors and some wheeler suited Ax. But checking is surely ok, actually not sure what's better readless on the spot. Probably controlling the pot size until we have a better idea of how the Villain plays.
