#1 Sorta bad high vpip opponent. Maybe it´s an ongame thing, since I haven´t been facing such action at FT much, or I´m just paranoid, but it seems to me fish take this line a lot vs taggish players and postflop nits like me. His range to float me oop are loads of heart and wheel draws, some Kx and mid pp´s. I feel like if I´m going to fire the turn I´m gonna have to barrel a lot of rivers or else Id have put in too many chips just to chop or have 66 put me on tilt, while check turn/raise or bet river is cheaper and gives me some info from his sizing and timing on the river.

Stacks:
UTG ($51.40)
CO ($125.40)
Hero (BTN) ($99.50)
SB ($102.45)
BB ($58.90)

Pre-flop: ($1.50, 5 players) Hero is BTN
UTG calls $1, 1 fold, Hero raises to $4.50, 1 fold, BB calls $3.50, UTG folds

Flop: ($10.50, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $7, BB calls $7

Turn: ($24.50, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

River: ($24.50, 2 players)
BB bets $12, Hero raises to $35


#2 Not much info on the guy, but he doesnt seems like the greatest player in the world from 3 orbits. He is repping very very thin, but then again I don´t expect him to take this line a lot with air or a draw. HH is messed up, we´re 4 handed BTN vs SB

I like Hand 1, he's hardly ever folding Kx here i think, but depending on what type of fish s/he is, s/he's prolly betting all pp's here as well as complete air which will be making a 'tight' fold to this riv raise often enough to make this a decent play.

hand 1: I like your line. I agree completely with you that it seems everyone insta bets river in villains shoes.

A line I often use against the loose passives at my 50NL PS games is bet turn, check behind river. The'll be folding 99- and calling all bare FD's that you'll be winning from at showdown.

I've used it for a while now and it seems a winning play.


Hand 2: Just call the turn and probably check behind all non-heart rivers, imo.

 Hand #1: I'd rather barrel the turn. As played he won't fold any king but they do this often enough with 44.

Hand #2: It's probably an "info raise" with a Q. I call turn and play river appropriately. And don't open UTG for 3bb at 100nl, they'll gladly put in 4bb anyway.

meeloche is on a distinguished road
 1) I'd call before I raised on this board cause he's snapping any pair. This betsize says i has the pair so I would just fold.

2) He's strong but you're getting great odds to hit so call and spike the heart river.

 I think we should fold the turn in hand two because of reverse implied odds.
