Heads-Up hand I posted on my blog. Villain used to be crazy LAG type with huge sizings but has now changed his game and seems to play kind of NitTag style.

€0.05/€0.10, Texas Hold'em NL Heads-Up

BU (€11.40 in chips)
Hero BB (€10.90 in chips)

Dealt to Hero [BB] [8 :club: 8 :diamond:]

BU raises to €0.20, Hero Calls.

FLOP [3 :diamond: 4 :heart: 9 :heart:] [€0.40]

Hero checks, BU checks

TURN [K :spade:] [€0.40]

Hero checks, BU bets €0.25, Hero calls

RIVER [7 :diamond:] [€0.90]
Hero checks, BU bets €0.75, Hero folds

Preflop: This villain never 4bets but calls most 3bets which makes it uncomfortable to 3bet as I won't get to Jam ever. Call is much nicer.

Flop: Villain does check back quite a few flops and could call Ahi to a bet (I imagine folding the rest). I think it would be nice to perhaps to put this hand in a balanced or not so balanced flop-donk range on this sort of board versus someone who doesn't cbet so much.

Turn: It seems reasonable for him to bet Khi turn with some range of hands and I'm quite a long way up my own hand-range so I think calling is mandatory. I think villain specific I can expect him to check back river a lot after betting this turn.

River: Betsizing increases and I think folding is the best play versus this particular opponent who from what I have seen only valuebets rivers.

Note: With reads I think this hand isn't too hard to play. However, without reads I have no clear idea what to do in this hand OTR, Is it an easy call because most villains bluff Khi OTF 90%? Is it an easy fold because most villains won't bluff twice? If someone could enlighten me as to a sort of GTO decision here that would be helpful.

Hi DaPhunk

Preflop: could be a 3-bet for value depending on his postflop tendencies

Postflop: can we not donk here as well vs a guy that checks back a lot (acting on our read)?

As played you range is weak and he can try to take advantage of that by betting scare card turn and river so vs unknown I'm not folding.

If you have solid reasons to believe that he rarely bluffs then a hero fold is in order but his bet is really polarizing there.
