BTN: $2.00 - VPIP: 40, PFR: 0, 3B: 0, AF: 0.0, Hands: 5
SB: $3.16 - VPIP: 14, PFR: 8, 3B: 4, AF: 2.4, Hands: 597
Hero (BB): $8.13
UTG: $5.35 - VPIP: 29, PFR: 22, 3B: 5, AF: 6.8, Hands: 219
MP: $8.50 - VPIP: 14, PFR: 9, 3B: 5, AF: 3.0, Hands: 181
CO: $4.00 - VPIP: 20, PFR: 18, 3B: 8, AF: 2.3, Hands: 252

Pre Flop: ($0.06) Hero is BB with A :heart: Q :club:
UTG raises to $0.12, 4 folds, Hero calls $0.08

Flop: ($0.26) 3 :spade: T :diamond: J :spade: (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $0.12, Hero calls $0.12

Turn: ($0.50) 4 :diamond: (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

River: ($0.50) 7 :heart: (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

He is opening 17% from EP. I want to dominate his lower Ax, Qx.
Flop is my call OOP ok? He is cbeting 100% (21 times). I have gutshot+2 overs, he bets smaller size on drawy board.
I am planing to fold if I dont hit later in hand.

Hi,
as played Id bet big river cos his F cb will be very often some Tx or weak SDV hand like 44-99 and for the same reason I'd xr F expecting to have a lot of fold equity and bluff outs.

I don't know if I like the call vs UTG. It's rather loose and you are a bit behind in equity.

MP3 48.48% 44.32% 4.16% { AhQc }

Suggest to 3-bet here and if called you know you are up against a premium hand and you can adapt your perceived range.

It's never fold and it's not even close. By folding you're losing 100bb/100 hands. You dont even need that much equity to call.

I agree that folding is not an option. And 3betting this vs UTG might be a bit loose (well, I like to use polarized range because if we 3bet bluff this hand -> our range is merged and we face difficult decisions postflop). For me it is a call too.
