I expect the flop can easy hit villains range, but the turn is a really safe card. It wouldn't made any sense to call the flop with 22.
Readless I would fold with in mind could have a straight or 2 pair here most of the time.

Cheers,

SB has very passive stats, no preflop open-raises / 3bets over 123 hands, but 81% vpip. Nice fold!

I would call and lose but he could have Q2, T2, K2 which is not nice to face. Been making many incorrect hero calls recently at those stakes, but also correct ones.

Okay. Not sure hero calls are the way to play on NL2. Maybe on higher stakes it could be profitable against decent players. ON Nl2 bluffing isn't a good strategy either.

Yes thanks, once we escape from these stakes to midstakes, we can start making advanced plays again :)

So he donkshoves the turn. If he has bluff it's the only way he can win the hand. Thats why i like to look him up ♦

Definitely folding here without any reads. Althoug if you have over 100 hands, you should have some read on his donking tendencies. Anyway, folding here is with this info a must as you rarely see that sort of bet without some very nutted hand. There will be more profitable spots to hero-call.
