BTN: $21.87 (218.7 bb)
SB: $5.35 (53.5 bb)
Hero (BB): $15.63 (156.3 bb)
UTG: $10 (100 bb)
MP: $13.18 (131.8 bb)
CO: $9 (90 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8 8
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.30, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.20

Flop: ($0.65) 4 K K (2 players)
Hero checks, MP checks

Turn: ($0.65) J (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $0.40, Hero calls $0.40

River: ($1.45) 6 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP checks

villain is an unknown, no info on him so far - just playing zoom.

preflop i think calling is fine dont see a reason to fold or 3bet.

flop i expect lots of cbets on this board with air in general but i dont really know since he's unknown. i plan to x/c this flop because i think people will shut down later - not sure if this is a good plan... in general i think he has some SDV when he checks back. maybe even A high...

on the turn its not the greatest card for me cos it hits his range but imo he will also have a bunch of PPs that will stab this turn. for example 22 doesnt have enough SDV and since i check twice he could bet to make me fold my T9s or something. i call here expecting him not to barrel rivers with PPs that i beat.

overall do you think i should just fold the turn? sort of a marginal spot.

Fold the turn, yes, with a mid-ranged PP. Given his bet and no raise on the Flop, then bet on the turn, assuming he's a TAG I'd put him on AJ or JJ, but as you say could also be 99, TT or QQ.

cant assume he'll check Kx, maybe he does but dont have the info for that. i also think he'll most likely not check with a hand like TT+ here and instead he'll bet the flop with these.. people tend to be cbetting like this. i think he can stab turn with a few worse hands than mine just to pick up the pot so i was just calling once.. and i guess FDs will also play this way along with turned draws like QT and AQ which at the same time probably won't continue bluffing on the river... lots of assumptions tho

Hi Lewis,

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: Playing like you did to give him a chance to take one stab I think is ok. We have other options as well for example bombing turn/river to take the pot away and make him fold some better hands like 99-TT or Jx or even ck/raise the turn.

But against unknown the "standard" would be your line since we have 0 info.
