KQo 2NL Analysis
Villain is 59/18 over 64 hands, so his range is as wide as they come. When he raises preflop, it's usually 4xBB or 5xBB.
Button ($1.57)
SB ($5.02)
BB ($5.11)
UTG ($4.66)
UTG+1 ($1.97)
MP1 ($0.67)
MP2 ($4.94)
Hero (MP3) ($1.56)
CO ($2.56)
Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K, Q
UTG bets $0.10, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.10, 4 folds
Despite such a high VPIP, his PFR is only 18, so I imagine his PFR range includes all pairs, all broadway cards and perhaps one or two extra like ATs, T9s etc.
Flop: ($0.23) 8, K, A (2 players)
UTG bets $0.12, Hero calls $0.12
It's a fairly standard cbet amount and something I'd seen him do a few times before after a preflop raise. I'm not sure his range would change too dramatically, if at all, given his cbet is standard and only just half pot. It certainly hits a lot of his range. I would say monster hands like AA, KK and 88 can safely be dismissed though. In hindsight, raising this flop may have been a good idea, given that Ace-high flops tend to prompt a c-bet a lot of the time anyway.
Turn: ($0.47) 4 (2 players)
UTG checks
A lot of 2NL players seem to play a fit-or-fold strategy post-flop, and this is what his turn check suggests to me. I'm thinking likely a pocket pair that hasn't hit or one of those borderline starting hands like T9. A straight or flush draw is also possible.
How's my thinking?
Is there anything glaring in this (rather brief) hand analysis that I've missed or should concentrate more on?
All feedback appreciated.
