    Default TP2K on 4 straight board - block too thin?

    villain is 35-2 over < 50 hands. I'm active but haven't played a big pot with him yet. The other two preflop callers are also super-loose fish. River is pretty gross, like, so many two pair and straights have got there, not really sure what hands I beat that might find a call here - AJ/KT/one pair missed flush draws? Block as super thin value or simple check-fold?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    MP2 ($9.35)
    MP3 ($42.93)
    CO ($27.85)
    Button ($21.94)
    SB ($24.75)
    BB ($30.85)
    Hero (UTG) ($26.45)
    UTG+1 ($24.43)
    MP1 ($24.31)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q, K
    Hero bets $0.85, UTG+1 calls $0.85, MP1 calls $0.85, 3 folds, Button calls $0.85, SB calls $0.75, 1 fold

    Flop: ($4.50) Q, 5, J (5 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $3, UTG+1 calls $3, 3 folds

    Turn: ($10.50) 8 (2 players)
    Hero bets $6, UTG+1 calls $6

    River: ($22.50) 10 (2 players)
    Hero bets $3,

    I like it, esp the river sizing. True fish will sometimes have worse hands they can call with here, like KJ, KT, big-little with a queen or even a jack. Of course it's a b/f. I'm not sure if it's better than a check, depends on if he could bluff, but if he raises you, easy fold. The point is that, vs a fish, you want to see a showdown cheap, if that can be arranged, then it's very +EV. If not, you're beat. So the gay bet works here imo.

    Umm, isn't 99 the only 9 in his entire range?

    Good call for some reason i was thinking of the other hand where he was 12/8. Then I bet moar. like 7 and fold to raise. I know you will be getting crazy odds at that point but that dosn't matter based on your read

    seems alright. He isn't going to be raising with worse despite the gay bet. I think that if you bet more then you probably have to call a jame mathematically no matter how far behind you are. I think he probably has some hearts and obviously come Js Qs. He certainly can have like AJ or AQ since it doesn't look like he's raising them preflop and I think that checking puts you in a worse spot than this small bet.

    WP imo
