The UTG limp/caller is 26/2, no history with him or specific reads.

I feel like pre and the flop are both pretty standard. The turn is where I wasn't sure if I should be barreling again or not. I have tried it in the past and have had mixed results and I wanted to get your input on it before I decide one way or another.

His range should be weak given preflop, and I don't know how many Jx or Tx hands are in it. I think that he does fold a lot of his air on and underpairs on the flop though so the range that he gets to the turn with should be stronger. Should this be a good time to keep barreling with our equity?

The opener is very aggro for his first 30 hands, playing like 33/30 pre and betting a lot post as well, no showdowns yet.

Overcall pre is standard.

On the flop I decided to flat and hope that the other player behind me would fold and the pfr would just keep barreling. The other player in the hand is a nit so he will be folding here a ton, and if he continued in the pot by raising I would have felt really shitty, but if he called I would still expect to be very ahead of both.

On the turn when I fill up I didn't think raising made much sense, sure I might charge him a little more for his draws, but I give him a chance to hit and get stacked where he may fold a weak draw to a raise. He also still has the chance to barrel the river if he misses so it's not like we're done extracting value when he doesn't hit.

On the river I raise large but don't put him all in by 9 big blinds, this was a mistake and I didn't notice my raise was so close to shoving which is what I should have just done anyways.

The BTN caller is 36/9 with a 3b of 15 and a call open of 33.

Pre should be standard from MP.

Flop bet is standard.

On the turn I decided to bet again to get him off of any random junk he peeled the flop with, he has a fold to cb of 17 over 44 hands, not much but I figure I have enough equity incase I do get called.

When the river hits I am rather confused as to what I should do, check/folding seemed weak, but betting for value seemed a little ambitious. Maybe a small bet/fold would be better but i'm not sure what size would be good. I feel like up to the river is hopefully standard but once I hit this marginal hand I am kind of clueless.

  1. the 22 hand id probably raise bc bad people arent going to fold ax and he might just jam it in w hearts / ak or aq or an overpair. i know we dont love the idea of raising the flop in general, but this is a really good spot for it. vs better people these boards are good to bluffraise bc people give u a ton of credit (not great but like ssnl grinder type people) bc its so easy to play back at you with ax.

    The aq hand id either check back the flop or atleast double barrel unless his fold to cbet is like 80. as played you can call the river and expect to beat eough oesds and gutshots. if youre going to one and done i think u can bet a dollar or 2 less since ur really just trying to fold out all his 8 high stuff.

    id usually just merge bet the river on the 3rd one since most competent ppl almost never have you beat here. checking would be pretty bad vs them since they always have sd value when they call twice so theyre not really going to bluff. vs a very loose fish it kind of depends on his stats / what kind of fish he is. if i thoguht he was cally id halfpot or something, if he was really awful and had a huge vpip i might even bet big. i dont see much merit to checking unless he never folds to early street aggression and has a huge rivre aggression and will see the ace and think omg scare card. as played id probably call his bet and feel w/e about it. some stuff missed plus he can be spaz betting and 27 into 45 doesnt really reek of great stregnth plus u only have to be good like 26.7% of the time, so if i somehow checked id probably sigh and call vs this amount since he seems not great.

  2. vs this guy in the a9s hand how could u not bet the river? his range is gangantuan and almost every nutted hand raises earlier and 3bets pre. hes going to have so many tx jx type hands that the only way id consider checking the river is if he has spewy river aggression where hell see the Ace and think youre waving a white flag and never c/c. hes probably flatting like 40% + of hands here pf, since otb will be the place he flats open the 2nd most amount (these ppl probably fold their bb less than 30% of the time as theyre priced in etc). thinking about it, c/c may actually be best vs this guy because hes going to have q9,89,spades, 78, 6x. its close though and it really depends what his river tendencies are like, but if i checked vs this guy its not to fold.
