Hi guys, first post on here

Villian is a 23/18 over 1k hands

Fold SB to raise 86% - Fold to flop cbet 65%

I give him a pretty tight range postflop, by the river I haven't got many backdoor flush draws in his range, and I think he'd have to have TT or 55 to have a straight. River bet by him looks like a blocking bet to me also. Thoughts?

Also his WTSD is 19%

I wasn't allowed to post converted hand, as I need 10 posts before posting links/URLs. My apologies.

Im not sure I like it. I doubt he ever gets to the river here with total air or overs like KJ etc

He could easily have a hand like 910 here and be hoping his river bet looks exactly what you think it is and will snap off a raise.

Yeah, I doubt he's folding much. He rarely has air and this doesn't seem like a great spot for a blocking bet. What can he be blocking?

I think he has a straight or flush and snapcalls way too much for this to be good.

griffey24 is on a distinguished road
 If he's donk leading on this board, after check calling twice, he's rarely rarely folding.

I'd rather bluff raise this as a bluff, if he had the initiative the entire time and bet flop/turn/river and then we jammed, as opposed to doing it over a donk lead.

Ok cool, thanks for the replies.

Personally, I can't imagine he has made the blocking bet to induce a raise. I guess I wanted to fold out sets/2pairs.

I don't think he was inducing, he was probably afraid you'd check behind and he'd miss value.

I find at these stakes people make blocking bets but can't bring themselves to fold to a raise anyway.

I'd expect A9 or 910 hands to snap, and I think if he has a set he raises the turn on a drawy board.

Not to mention people often lead at these stakes to make up for missed value. (fish anyway)

OP this is a really bad spot to bluff, most of his donking range is Tx....
