Final Board: 8 2 T J 5
Hero mucked Q Q and lost (-$1.85 net)

Opponent is 33/0 over 9 hands, so even though UNK, given stats + stack size likely a bad player.

Are weak players capable of c/r semi-bluffing? Plenty of combo draws available.

Turn is one of the worst cards in the deck for me, so I check behind for pot control (everything standard so far).

AAaaaaand he bombs the river. Looks like a desperate attempt to get some value.

How do I go about river in such a spot, which is a pretty common one? (IP, with TPGK or overpair after turn brings a scary card and river bricks and they lead big)

Does his flop behaviour change things compared to if he just c/called? Can we put flopped sets in his range after he checks turn?

And finally what if he bet 1/2 pot on the river?

Hi trzewia

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: While they don't c/r bluff as often they do ck/raise TP type hands more often and even second pair so I can expect JJ, Tx, etc.

I think we should bet/fold the turn in this spot but as played his river bet is polarizing but he can have some nutty hands (some flushes) and that's pretty much it. So I'd be tempted to look him up when his line doesn't really add up. Fish generally bet smaller to keep you in.

If he bet 1/2 pot I'd be more worried since that is less polarized and can have better hands and nutty ones (sets, 2p, flush).
