Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: $2.94 (VPIP: 28.07, PFR: 19.30, 3Bet Preflop: 18.52, Hands: 116)
MP: $3.71 (VPIP: 20.56, PFR: 14.95, 3Bet Preflop: 5.56, Hands: 109)

BTN: $5.45 (VPIP: 13.89, PFR: 13.89, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 37)
Hero (SB): $2.00
BB: $3.54 (VPIP: 15.90, PFR: 11.30, 3Bet Preflop: 1.04, Hands: 246)

Hero posts SB $0.01, BB posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.03) Hero has K♥ K♣

UTG raises to $0.06, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.22, BB calls $0.20, UTG calls $0.16

Flop: ($0.66, 3 players) A♦ 9♠ Q♥
Hero bets $0.31, BB calls $0.31, fold

Turn: ($1.28, 2 players) 6♠
Hero checks, BB bets $0.34,

Spoiler

fold

BB wins $1.22

$0.02 was deducted from the pot for the jackpot.

Q: Call small bet sizing OTT?
A: No. The opponent is a regular with tight stats and probably not doing this as a bluff. I should fold the turn even though the sizing is small.

Call turn and hope for checks on the river. If he bets on the river, it is a fold.

Definitely a call here. Villain can be stabbing anything because you check, or making some kind of thin valuebet with Qx? Folding a second pair vs 1/4pot bet looks very exploitable.

You can call that small bet.

I'd check/fold the flop.

You 3betted UTG and got a coldcall vs a nitty. Unfortunatelly the board hit both ranges.

As played i don't think folding the turn is that bad, in fact i think it's an exploitable fold since even thought villain is making easy money with that small bet I don't think a NL2 nit playerwill cold call a 3bet vs UTG and float in a MWP with anything worse than your kings.
IMO fold > call in that situation.

Nit?

When BB cold calls our 3bet, UTG will have enough implieds to call with wider range. The minimum he should be defending vs a 3bet is 88+ and some Ax hands. When there is a called I believe he should be able to call with some suited connectors and other broadway combos too.

Imo thinking that villain has only Ax hands OTT is bad. Hero's check looks weak and villain should see that too.

I agree but the one who plays back at us OTT is the one who cold called and his the nit i was talking about (15/11).

Edit: Just adding to my comment and quote. I agree that UTG has a wider range and his stats and we may check/call his bet on flop but i would tend not to do that.

IMO that may be a spot where checking all your range will be the best play but i'm not sure that will work in NL2.

Damn, it is BB that is betting the turn x) I misread that.. But still since he is such a nit I don't expect him to cold call that much. Probably some pocket pairs and maybe AK AQ (and maybe KQ?).

I agree that we maybe don't have to bet the flop but then it is at least a check call imo. OTT we have no info about his postflop tendencies so I still like calling the turn. He might stab with TT and then check behind OTR. His bet size is so small that we basically have to call. If we fold 1) he could be exploiting hero's high folding frequency 2) hero might be exploiting his tightness.. But since we don't have more info how he plays I would go with a call because that shouldn't be a mistake.
