Comment:

Don't know too much about the opponent. If he plays A2+ like this i think calling is fine since i beat 50%.

Hey Hvard92,

Preflop I would just raise for value. Maybe even take it down preflop.

Flop bet is fine. It's likely just a direct fold at these limits on the flop vs a raise on monotone board.

Turn is a fold.

River is a fold.

Only because he could have a flush?

At these stakes I think it's generally good population read that players do not raise monotone boards light.

So villain's flop raising range here is likely better Aces, sets and flushes. Only very rarely will it be a flush draw since the majority of players will just flat these.

Alright. So you don't think people at these stakes in general overplays their A2+ simply because they have top pair?

Some guys certainly will, no doubt about it.

But we should assume it doesn't happen that often. So vs an unknown it's safer to assume they are not going to be overplaying something like A2. But yeah, totally possible he shows up with something random on river =) But vs the average ranges at these limits it's better to fold.
