SB bets $0.30, Hero calls $0.30

Turn: ($2.20) A (2 players)

Spoiler

$3.80 pot ($0.17 rake)
Final Board: 9 5 J A K
SB mucked and won $3.63 ($1.73 net)
Hero mucked A 9 and lost (-$1.90 net)

My thoughts:

Villain is unknown so I assume that he will be stealing from the SB with some % so I don't mind 3betting here with A9s. Even if he calls, I can have the better ace here.

I flop 2nd pair and when he bets so small I think it's an easy call and see what he does OTT.

I don't know how often he double barrel bluffs, but I imagine it to be a small %, however, this maybe a good card to do so (that's if he is thinking about that). But I think I can call he as he v-bets worse and doesn't call worse when I raise (maybe AK?).

River...?

Hi Samboro,

Preflop: given he is not full stacked we can assume he is a recreational player so our 3-bet is more for value than as a bluff.

Postflop: I think that your passive line on the turn is very weak because villains range there has a lot more weaker hands than strong ones and we want to get value from them.

I'd raise turn and ship river.
