Villain is 10/7/3.3 and is a winning player over 250hands.
Has a CB% of 67%
Would he do this with KJs or NFD, or Q10.
I cant imagine 10s or qqs been in his range as he would/should raise from late position.

This was the fishiest table at the time on PS,
UTG 33/4/0.8 over 165hands
UTG+1 79/4/1 over 56hands
MP2 96/61/2.3 over 20hands

Looking back the flop bet needed to be larger, They all have WSDs of 50ish. And, that flop is pretty godamn draw heavy.

Put them on a range. If less than 50% of their range is a FD, then by all means put in a value bet. The question is also: if you check, do you pay him off if he bets? If you do you're much better off just putting in a bet and hoping a better hand calls. If he raises you're most likely in trouble.

For what it's worth:
Hand1(8:diamond:8:club: : I fold. I don't know what he has, but this looks like a value bet to me. He could have 66-QQ or maybe slowplaying a king, a set or AA.

Hand2(2:club:2:diamond:): 3-bet all-in He could have AQ, a flushdraw, 2 pair (he open raised from the button), KK, AA...
Don't look for excuses for folding a set.

Hand3(A:heart:A:diamond: :
Kind of sucks. Since they don't raise they're either weak on the flop, have a flushdraw, or are the type of player who avoid the bet button like the plaque. I'm kind of lost here too. I'm check/calling a small bet. But I'm not sure that's the best line.

Hand4(9:diamond:9:spade:) :
Easiest call in the history of easy calls. Again - put him on a range, and see what percentage of that range you are ahead - take pot odds into consideration, and there you go.

QQ - you could check hoping he'll bluff at it, but I think his range is a pair of jacks a lot. He has no reason to put you on a king there, so I would make a standard value bet of 1/2 of the pot. If he's squeemish make it 1/3.

AQ - I would put him on 99-JJ, Ax, J:diamond:T:diamond: 9:diamond:T:diamond: - but you already see that flushdraws are kind of weired for here for an UTG limp/call
I wouldn't bet this any different whether the 5:club: or the 5:diamond: hits.

That paragraph helped alot with my thought process when scary looking river cards hit. I usually play too passive, where I'm definitely losing value. The "if less than 50%" really hit home.
Thanks alot oskar.

Oh, and...

You won't catch me folding a set anytime soon... ;)

88 - I think I call here, if he sucks. He limp/called preflop, so having Kx isn't all that likely. He could have Ace-rag or some combo hand he thinks is good since you haven't played back. And, of course, he could have a set, sure. At 3.4 to 1 pot odds, it's probably worth a call unless he's known to play pretty straightforward. Raising the turn isn't a bad option.

22/99 set hands & AA - bet bet bet and then bet again. You have the nut flush redraw in the AA hand - tons of equity. Just get it all in. Same with sets.

QQ is standard flop and turn. With bet-sizing, btw, you might want to get more chips in while you have an overpair, so maybe PSB the flop and PSB or at least 3/4's on the turn.

For QQ river decision, remember you have blockers for all the big flush/straight draw hands. He cant have a suited Ace of hearts with anything T or higher, you have two of his needed straight cards. It's possible he has the flush, but unlikely. He looks to have been calling with a non-nut pair like KJ, KT or AT. You hate the river card, but I go ahead and bet here. It's mostly a blank, imo. Maybe a $3 thin-value bet, or check and try to call a small river bet.

AQ 2 pair - bet the river for value.
