he hasn't shows any real weird play except for the open limping.

So after i had a talk with Boomer and he convinced me that balance was something that actually could be a good idea even at micros. I have decided always to call in BB like no 3betting even AA (which im really struggling with coming to terms with hehe)

Am i giving him too much credit by just calling turn/river. Im thinking its a T or higher pairs which i know is obv not likely but considering his stats and position. Id think it would be more possible for having QQ , KK , AA than the normal fish/or even TAGs . the line hes taking seems to be its either a Ten or over pair to the board. or a set ?

I don't mind 3betting the turn because I think it's often AT, KT. But if you think he's too tight to raise those on turn or have them in preflop range, then just calldown.

A simple equity calculation comes up with the following:


Board: 4♣8♥2♦ T♥
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    48.39%  47.66%   0.72% { TT+, 88, 44, ATs, KTs, QJs, Q9s, J9s, T8s+, QdTd, QcTc, JdTd, JcTc, ATo, KTo }
BB     51.61%  50.89%   0.72% { JhJc }

Now I may be missing some hand from his range but he seems Hyper-tight so I'm not including some of the wider parts of what may be in other person's range so I think calling down here is standard.

It's pretty much a case where there are almost equal number of made hands we beat and lose to (except we are dead if behind and he has 5+ outs) and our equity edge comes from his draws, which there isn't a massive amount of point in raising as a whole as we re-open the betting creating a problem on the river or on the turn (As he'll almost certainly either cap or raise the river if he has a hand better than ours)

So I think your line is pretty standard and good
