I'd c/c river without more reads. Def fold to shove.

Why are we potting the flop and turn?

I'd like a bit smaller on the flop and turn. As played, I like the river bet, and I'm torn actually on calling or folding. Depends on my feel for his range from his timing on previous streets. It looks like we have a bricked draw, so would give him less motivation to shove light here.

Feel like A9 or something might make noise earlier, so it seems as though its TT (even that would raise pre?) or 9T only. I can't put it past a bad player (limping utg?) to not do something stupid with at least 1-2 combos here.

Straight up value against loose passive stations who aren't folding for any amount with any pair or draw. Maybe in this particular case it wasn't optimal, but generally against these guys I'm not worrying about balance or exploitation in the least. Until, of course, they do something like this at which point I make a note and adjust accordingly (to the best of my ability - still lots to learn).

I find people tend to stab very often in these spots so I'd c/r flop. On the river I'm wondering if he'd think AA or KK is the nuts here. Cause he's obv never bluffing.

gross, it's a fold though.

I like this

- and I think checking is better than betting this river - I doubt he will hero call 3barrel in limped pot and tons of draws missed, so his betting range will be probably lot wider than his calling range

ppl are never folding KT here so you have to bet the river

edit : you should maybe make a note that this is on a fishy euro site, not nit-infested stars or FTP

Considering that you have a very strong hand chk.call the river would probably be the most +ev and best decision to avoid a big mistake. Also make a note of the hand your opponents is calling you with a.f you see his hand on river for future reference.

from my exp on Euro sites (i'm playing $50nl) I see nothing wrong with this, just pot all day long. Villain just hit 4-4. meh, what can you do...

A-10 is so strongly in his range, you gotta pay him off - and I see this retarded play all day long.

edit: Thought he raised UTG - A-9, sets. But I still pay him off, then kick myself.
