Villain is unknown but not playing fullstacked probably a fish. Can we bluffcatch the river here? Dont think that he v-bets Tx especcialy with this sizing so he reps very thin and has a lot of missed FDs and KJ type of hands in his range. Still dont know if call is good because he might turn a small pocket pair into a bluff.

Hi tukioppilas62

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: I think the call is fine with A high given the board texture. Yes, he can turn some small PP into a bluff but some fish still don't do that often.

And given you get pretty decent pot odds an everything missed (KJ, J9, gutshots, FDs) I can't see this being a bad call.

As played, I would call the river bet as well.

But I personally don't really like the flopbet, as in my opinion your fold equity is very low. I would rather tend to cb flop and a thin value bet if villain checks the turn. On the downside, this suggested play implies that on a leading turn bet from villain you could fold the better hand.
So what's essentially the better play?

Imo we have decent FE against small pocketpairs and equity against flushdraws, gutshots etc. So flop c-bet is imo the very best option.

VS a fish I think betting the flop is best. Some better hands fold (small pairs) and worse calls (draws).

And then we can get a free card if we want and bluffcatch the river.
