KJo flops second pair, call down small bets
8-handed 1-1, two players to my left have recently left the table.
I'm two off the button with KJo, 100BB stack. Two limpers in front, second of whom is a big fish but often folds to raises PF (often as in, like 50-60% of the time). First limper is kind of nitty and is also likely to limp/fold. I raise to 8BB (my standard open raise in this session was 6-7BB), obv hoping for big norwegian fish to come along.
BU cold calls, and all others fold. BU is one who will happily open shove A8 for 40BB PF. Near the beginning of the session he did this for 12BB and was lightly called by the guy to his left with a 100BB stack, I then put on a squeeze with ATo and folded out the caller and iso'd the initial shover and he turned over A8o. Anyway my point is his calling range is probably super wide.
Flop Q J x rainbow.
I check. He bets 7. I call.
Turn blank. I check, he bets 7 again. I call.
River pairs the Q. I check, he bets 15, I call.
I didn't cbet flop because the flop seems to hit his range pretty hard, but on the other hand he would probably peel a street with JT or 88, so maybe betting was still better. He made such a piss weak bet that I couldn't fold, ditto on turn, and river pairing made it less likely that he holds a Q. Thoughts? Also is preflop too marginal?
