What are your opinions on this play, considering that this is within the first 10 hands I saw opponent play, and haven't noticed him in that time.

I call the min raise because of my OESD, and the turn bet is either weak, or is asking for a call. If he was wanting a call on the turn though, wouldn't he value bet the river?

Does my river bet seem out of place with my actions - particularly does it look like I have an A here?

I'd fold the turn almost everytime, that was a bad card.

Do you normally raise TJo from the HJ?

As for the river, his check does looks kinda weak but I'd like to know if villian can fold here.

Will he fold 88? Doesn't he have QQ quite a bit?

He makes the donk play of betting on the turn what he essentially (with the raise) bet on the flop.

So, let's assume he doesn't have an Ace. I think your river bet is too big. I believe $15 will get the job done just as easily as $20-$25. It's a good spot to bluff b/c unless he has QQ he's not c/bombing the river. He should have led an Ace here and he should definitely be capable of folding a flush/8's full.

The only reason I would do this is if a flush draw is a large part of his range right?. I'm getting good odds here otherwise. I'm much more concerned about the turn call. If I had any read that he was in any way a solid player it would definitely have been a fold.

I don't think this villain has QQ here very often at all. That's from a general average player here read, not player specific.

I can see that the bet might be too big. I would probably bet less with an A, and a donk with a Q might check/call any bet here.

Misread the hand, sorry. Fold turn still stands though.
