Would he even play KJ offsuit? Call the flop with it?

This SCREAMS set. I would 3-ball the turn and shove the river.

What's the reasoning behind the turn call? Seems that villain likes his hand enough to call a re-raise, plus there's a FD out there...shouldn't we be more aggressive on the turn?

And is there any question we should try to get it in on the river? Are 200NL nits so nitty that even the 2nd nuts isn't enough to play for stacks against em'?

I Agree with Fnord -- this looks waaay more like a set than it does KJ. A 8/5 limping KJ on the BU with a limper behind? 3% limp = only PPs, right?

I was planning on c/raising the river until I saw his pot-sized bet. I'm not sure if 3-betting the turn and shoving the river gets any worse hands to call.

Sets will almost never fold before the river.

Haha get this shit: if villain's range is 22, TT, 99, QQ, KJ, (which seems somewhat reasonable), then we have exactly 50% equity. The combinations of each of the above hands are 22(3), TT(3), 99(3), QQ(3), and KJ(12). Note that the rake is not a factor since it caps when the pot reaches $60. So as played, I think it's a call on the river since sometimes he'll get away from 22.

On the turn, however, I think we have to reraise to protect our hand.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

He could easily have QcJc, 109, 8c7c that hes semi bluffing with, re raise the turn for VALUE and shove the river.

If villian is 8/5 are 99, TT and QQ really in his button limping range? QQ pretty much never.
If we can trust the stats 3% = 22-88
22,99 or something like QcJc or other suited connector seems to make the most sense.

Villain is never semibluffing here.

I think I agree with Fnord's line but I was gonna say NH before he posted and gave his thoughts. FWIW, KJ is in his range but not as much as sets.

It's somewhat strange that villan only calls the flop if it's a set. When the nit only calls it's more often some sort of draw. So KcJc springs to mind. But that is so thin that I would need a realy solid read on him to even begin to go there.

We dont realy have info that he is good postflop. But if it is a set, villan cant be happy with the way he played it.
