Villain is an unknown. I had been at the table for 20 hands, and villain had been involved in only one, which he took down preflop.


$0.10/$0.25 No Limit Holdem
PokerStars
6 Players
Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG h3ll1982 ($55.81)
UTG+1 fredl0309 ($37.55)
CO Hero ($28.72)
BTN shloogy ($35.73)
SB timy3434 ($35.48)
BB KuRaG86 ($25)

Pre-Flop: ($0.35, 6 players) Hero is CO
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.75, 1 fold, timy3434 raises to $2.25, 1 fold, Hero calls $1.50

Flop: ($4.75, 2 players)
timy3434 checks, Hero bets $2.50, timy3434 raises to $6, Hero calls $3.50

Turn: ($16.75, 2 players)
timy3434 checks, Hero checks

River: ($16.75, 2 players)
timy3434 bets $12.75, $12.75 to Hero ($20.47)?

This hand is a shit show, leaving me thinking "wtf". I know I didn't play it as well as I could have, and would like some input as to how it could have been played better.

First off, is checking behind on the flop a better play? Villain has been tight over the very small sample size, and I've got decent equity against his range(~40% equity against JJ+, and ~61% against JJ+ AQs+ AQo+), which justifies the call.

The turn card sucks. Any flush draw he might have been reraising the flop with has completed, and part of his 3bet range hit a set. I checked behind to avoid getting reraised, to which I would have to fold.

The river comes and the only part of his range I am worried about are any flushes that were made on the turn, and AQ. I still have 65% equity versus his range from the flop.

Typing that out makes me think it's a lulzsnapcall, but I'd like to get FTR's opinion.

Carroters has a spectacular aura aboutCarroters has a spectacular aura about
 Calling a 3 bet 100bb deep vs an unknown with 89s is just spew, especially at 25NL where the avg player doesn't 3 bet all that lightly.

I'd probably just check the flop back. I think he's either c/f this flop with overcards that don't have that much equity vs you anyway or he's taking some funky line with a big hand (maybe sometimes pot controlling JJ AT but not too often) I really don't wanna get c/r here, and I think we do better just controlling the pot size since he prolly doesn't c/c this flop with any worse hand, we can perhaps induce a turn bet from his missed overs or bet the turn when checked to surer that he has way less funky monsters in his range.

As played river's an ez call.
