Good day to everyone. Poker is war for blinds that's why i defend my big blind vs small blinds preflop raise with a very wide range b/c:
- range of opponents are much wider
- advantage of position

Now the hand. Villain is TAG player who opens really wide on sb (40%).
Obviously we can 3bet and take money preflop but having offsuited connector and position i decided to call in order to raise / float many flops.
Having TP there is no point to raise b/c we isolate ourselves vs better hands and can't get value vs worse. Turn gives oesd and i flat calls b/c of reasons mentioned above. River is pretty awful. Opponent can easily have flushdraw. Our hand is a bluff catcher here. SO how do you think would he bluff here enough % of time to make my call profitable, taking into consideration that clubbed river suits my range and i played my hand as draw.

SB ($25)
Hero ($25.90)
UTG ($24.90)
UTG+1 ($5.50)
CO ($49.95)
BTN ($26)

Dealt to Hero 8 9

fold, fold, fold, fold, SB raises to $0.75, Hero calls $0.50

FLOP ($1.50) 2 9 7

SB bets $1, Hero calls $1

TURN ($3.50) 2 9 7 6

SB bets $2.25, Hero calls $2.25

RIVER ($8) 2 9 7 6 8

[color=red]SB bets $4.25, Hero calls ???

I prefer to raise flop here to punish villain flush draw and air witch is just cont'betting (wide open from SB). This can also can give you free turn, plus information about where you stand. As played - I also raise turn and fold river.

raise turn, fold river.
