early in session villain is unknown not played a hand before this one. only reads are his stack size and its 5nl. snap called the flop I felt that it hit him hard or he had a hand and he'd already decided he was calling 1 street, he took his time to chk the turn. I dont know I really felt beat, expecting him to jam over when/if I bet. this might be unreasonable intuition soul read bs or an actual timing tell, I dont think I've ever really picked up on one before.

Bet the turn. Your equity increases with TP + OESD so betting the turn leaves options for the river.

Looks like a whole bunch of shorties.

Value bet 2/3 3/4 or something. Negative soul reads & Dark thoughts are -ev.

bet/call .85 or more

don't be a pussy.

It is.

bet/call

your all completely right but I had to river the nuts to find out. chked it back like a scared little bitch he jammed river with T8.

So your easing off 'mistake' encouraged a shove. nice

Against this awkward type of stack size (75bb) with this hand against an unknown I think you should bet the turn again and obviously call a shove. However, it is much closer than people in this thread are making it out to be.

breathe

and bet

Absolutely no reason to be paranoid here.

I think I got lucky, if the river had been a blank i would've folded and I would've been winning if he had shoved on the turn. I wondered what you guys think of this kind of read, if slowing down was a mistake. And clearly you guys would've dealt with it better than I did.

bet. You have a very strong hand vs his range, and outs to an even stronger hand.
