Hi all,
villain is NIT.
is it profitable to attack?
preflop call I don`t like it, but the question is about flop and turn.

PokerStars - $0.02 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: 96.5 BB (VPIP: 29.41, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 17)
UTG+1: 64 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 5.00, 3Bet Preflop: 16.67, Hands: 20)
MP: 122.5 BB (VPIP: 15.86, PFR: 14.10, 3Bet Preflop: 8.03, Hands: 466)
Hero (MP+1): 189 BB
MP+2: 126.5 BB (VPIP: 40.43, PFR: 25.53, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 47)
CO: 100 BB (VPIP: 13.21, PFR: 11.32, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 53)

BB: 25 BB (VPIP: 65.22, PFR: 17.39, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 23)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 2♦ 2♥

fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 1 BB, fold, CO raises to 4 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 3 BB

Flop: (9.5 BB, 2 players) T♦ T♥ 5♦
Hero checks, CO bets 5 BB, Hero raises to 16 BB, CO calls 11 BB

Turn: (41.5 BB, 2 players) 5♣

Hero wins 40 BB

Just raise pre. They wont know you just have 22...
A limping range is something for higher stakes.
Doing this on NL2 is playing with fire, but your line looks so strong that any hand that missed that dry board is folding.

To be honest, to this sizing and this nice turn I won't fold Overpair. I don't see reason to check raise 5 there so it's smell like draw.
I'm pretty sure that if villain would call turn you will give up OTR.

So I would check call flop and if you desperate for bluffing on micros maybe turn check raise

There certainly isn't an open limping range even at high stakes lol (from MP).
And bluffing a nit when we are so low doesn't seem like a good idea.

Please precise next time it's a FR hh in the title. (I hate FR, haven't played it for years and therefore probably can't give good advices at it).

Why I can`t represent Tx, or pocket 5s?

general rule for micros: dont bluff nits. in fact, dont bluff dead hands before they show you weakness. if the board was raimbow, you could make a case for your raise, but in this one, even doubled, its not a super-hard defense

you can always rep anything you want, the question is whether opponents will believe it.
as a default, we shouldn't expect the average opponent to believe us that much, which means that we should stay away from bluffing at a very high frequency. and if we won't be bluffing at a very high frequency, it's better to avoid bluffing with hands that have no potential to improve, like this one.

i think this is very spewy and implies that hero is overbluffing a lot in this spot. it probably isn't completely terrible in vacuum though (just slightly terrible)
