Villain is spewy and fishy looking running 39/21 over 25 hands. I've seen him limp/call 33 utg. Part from that no real reads.

I'm wondering whether I should just c/f the turn instead of b/f. I mean he has stuff like A4 A5 67 etc buy maybe not enough for this bet to actually be +EV, even though I expect him to be stationy. He has more 3s in his range than most villains would here and plenty 2 pair combos with this turn card. Does c/f look better?

$0.50/$1 No Limit Holdem
5 Players
Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG Hero ($125.80)
CO RHGJ ($105.30)
BTN racum ($129)
SB Ares22Ares ($74.50)
BB Egostrip ($100)

Pre-Flop: ($1.50, 5 players) Hero is UTG
Hero raises to $3.50, RHGJ calls $3.50, 3 folds

Flop: ($8.50, 2 players)
Hero bets $5.50, RHGJ calls $5.50

Turn: ($19.50, 2 players)
Hero bets $11, RHGJ raises to $25, Hero folds

Final Pot: $55.50

RHGJ wins $53.50 (net +$19.50)

Hero lost $20

Apparently I'm the biggest spewey retard out there but I never even consider c/fing the turn. I think c/c is slightly better than b/f, and those are the only two options I am going to look at.

Some players will raise small here with hands like 7-6, 6-4, 7-5 type hands, so they can see a cheap showdown or set themselves up to bluff on the river. I hate having to bet/fold to those types of hands, and I think that his hands like A-4/A-5 are folding the turn a lot, and his hands like 6-7 and 7-5 are betting the turn a lot if you check.

If he has a hand like 6-5 even you have a decent amount of outs (6 outs for higher two pair, 2 set outs, 4 straight outs, and 4 three's for a split).

My rule of thumb is usually not to fold overpairs against spewtards. I'll always try to find a way to pot control if I'm worried I'm beat.

I mean.. you call villain fishy and spewy. Maybe I'm a station but if I'm betting 11 into 19 with this hand on this board, it's with the intention of inducing a bluff from him. Not really to fold.

I'd rather just c/c here and let him try stealing and re-eval river. He probably gets to turn with tons of overcards and stuff, especially all Ax hands.

Yah I should clarify my villain description: I don't have many hands on this guy, nor a read to suggest he will bluff raise this turn here, and I'm not trying to induce a raise. He just looks like a stationy bad fish that plays too many hands and probably isn't a major fan of folding often.

I feel like he can jus peel again with a lot of Ax stuff 67, 1 pair hands and am betting small for value to allow all of his weak hands to continue here. If I had a read that he is spewy enough to raise Ax here on this turn I'd not b/f.

I didn't want him checking back these shitty hands he'll call a small bet with.

Betting the 6 on the turn can induce a lot of bluffs from this type of player because it hits his perceived range really well and he should expect you to have a very polarized betting range here. I mean most one pair hands would probably c/c down in this spot rather than betting. Against a laggy spewy villain these bluffs might come more often. I agree with griff that if i am betting here im probably calling a raise as well. IMO c/cing down in this spot would be best.

I would bet more (3/4 pot) flop and turn and I would def fold to a raise on turn.
