Hi!

I dont have too many hands on villain.. He shouldn't have too many Kx in his range, unless he decided to float KQ or something like that. His range should cointain more stuff like 9x, TT JJ Ax 88 77

Should i valuebet smallish against those hands and if i get called check/fold river? Should i check call the turn to bluff catch against his floats even though his range probably contains way more middle-strength hands rather than pure air?

Hi

I think in general, it's better to bet T and check/fold R if you are able to bet 2 streets of value. It's more straightforward to play, and also disguises the range of your hand.

if you have a much weaker hand like 89s or 88, then I think check-calling the Turn is probably a better idea because you are unlikely to be able to go for an additional street of value. But with JJ, you are still a favourite against his Turn calling range

He seems pretty nitty though and perhaps this might shift JJ more towards a medium strength hand, as opposed to the medium-strong hand that it is vs most other opponents.
