Hi community,
how would you play the river? I need ~33% equity to call here, do you think it is still profitable to call or would you fold nearly always here, due to possibe flush completion? Actually I checked again my own starting hand chart and realized I made a raise error, with my own SHC I would only start raising from MP with KQo. I read in my book at NL2$ the opponents nearly always play their hand and bluff rarely. Do you think they will bluff more often than 33%, to make this call profitable? I also keep in mind with my bed sizes, that I don't give good odds for flush draws to call here. Do you think the opponent played reasonable here? I mean flop isn't profitable for him at the turn he has a Flush draw and OESD, this gives him 9 outs + 6 outs. Turn call is profitable, but can we really expect that he has the Flush Draw and OESD here, I think no. What bet size would you use for flop and turn?

At these stakes, most of the time when after calling they bet into you all of a sudden, they have 1 pair beat. Situations where your opponent missed his draw are underbluffed at these stakes, they don't bluff enough there.

There are a few people though who are capable of bluffing in these spots, these will be the more aggressive players in the pool at nl2, and your opponent does have the stats for that, but it is only 81 hands.

... Just some sidenotes.

You beat like missed oesds, QJ and 98. But if he is bluffy type of player, he would have bluffed those already on flop or turn, i think. I would also fold here, unless you have a read that he can do that with AQo or something.

Hi community,
thank you for your feedback, in the book what I'm currently reading there is also an article that players at the micro stakes don't bluff often and that the earnings here come from holding the best hand most times, not from bluffing because villian will call too often.

best regards,

Villain seems aggressive pre-flop, but not sure that's also post-flop.
In general I doubt villain would lead shove the river as bluff. Especially on NL2 it's seems unlikely and I would fold.

Cheers,
