i don't like my top 2 anymore ($50NL PS)

Button was running 36/10/1.13 over 110 hands. In the only notable hand that I played with him, he called a standard raise with KQo in the BB, check/called a Q hi flop, checked a flush draw on the turn, and then bet OOP when he rivered his flush.

What can he have that I beat?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

CO ($60.45)
Button ($87.75)
SB ($36.20)
Hero (BB) ($49.25)
UTG ($30.85)
MP ($6.75)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, 7
3 folds, Button calls $0.50, SB calls $0.25, Hero checks

Flop: ($1.50) 3, 8, 7 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1.25, Button calls $1.25, 1 fold

Turn: ($4) 3 (2 players)
Hero bets $3.50, Button raises to $10, Hero ...?

What can he have that I beat?

What can he have that you don't beat?

He's repping a very thin range of made hands. There's too much air in his range to fold. Call and c/c most rivers would be my line.

I fold. Who cares how thin his range is? It's not like he's at a level where he's doing this as a bluff.

When someone this passive reps a really thin range I usually give them credit, whenever I don't they always seem to show up with the 3.

its a limped pot, so he could verrrrry easily have a 3, and i doubt hes calling a flop with a draw and then raising it on the turn, or for that matter a pair. that being said, fold.

yah this. If it wasn't a limped pot, I probably wouldn't believe this "repping a 3 BS"... but limped pot I'll just drop it.

I really have seen people raising stuff like a FD here sometimes, or even A8 thinking he can get value.

It's not like he's at a level where he's doing this as a bluff.

Maybe his game is at a level he does this as bluff.

I know it's not the whole story (position, river plan, no reads, etc), but it's 6,50 in a 17,50 pot to call;

Board: 3h 8s 7d 3d
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 35.140% 19.41% 15.73% 111 90.00 { 8h7s }
Hand 1: 64.860% 49.13% 15.73% 281 90.00 { 88-77, A8s, A3s, K3s, Td9d,

I play PS 50NL games and I wouldn't think all to long before calling really. People do so much weird stuff in this game that I've decreased folding decent hands to suddenly nut repping lines.

But I could be very wrong and the others are way better than me anyway, so probably listen to them. And calling does leave you in a very tough river spot where your mistakes could be large.

Agree with what others have said already.

99/TT or 3x is my guess. Hope you folded.

can he really show up with 99/TT?

as most say just muck since it's a limped pot I guess

Probably not but he is 36/10 and really passive...with some of the ways these people play at these levels he could have AA/KK sometimes here, trying to "be deceptive" and all. Again, probably not and it's usually going to be 3x, but I wouldn't put it past this player.

Thinking like this is not good. I used to do this too where you say, "Well sometimes it's possibly he could bluff." When you're not thinking about his range. Of course he could be capable of having a bluff in there somewhere. But the vast majority of the time a guy this passive who has given us no reads to the contrary will have you smoked way more often than not.

It's just, if someone goes from a very wide range to repping a very thin range....and let's say he's bluffing with air 5% of the time, there's a decent amount of air hands in his range.

But that 5% is an assumption ofcourse and can be pretty bad if in reality it's 0%.

Nice turn card for him. I'd let this go given what we know about him knowing that sometimes he's pulling a fast one on me. With a different history, I'm going nowhere.

Well if he's bluffing with air 5% of the time he still has air only 5% of the time.

How often I've seen weird lines and if I've given him cause yet to think I'm totally full of shit feed into my decision here.

Ok ok...he bluffs his air 5% of the time, or he bluffs with 5% of his air.

What

It's a result of my thought process that I outlined in my other posts in this thread.

Let's take an example:
Villains flop calling range is 110 hands.
He raises 10 hands for value on the turn.
He raises 5% of his other hands on the turn, being 5 hands.

His raising range consists of 33% air.

In this particular hand, I think villains flop calling range is in a positive scenario is any 3, any 7, any 8, gutshots, maybe overs with BD draws.
Going from such a range to a range that beats us on the turn is going from a wide to a very narrow range. If he's indeed raising a certain percentage of his air hands as well, I think we can call.

But please feel free to tell me I'm wrong. I'm just telling my thoughtprocess.

I think you might be misapplying a concept minSim. People hear players talk about how someone's repping a very narrow range therefore must call. That's the logic they're using against players they know will make plays, like other decent TAggs.

It doesn't matter if this guy's repping a very narrow range if that's the only range he's going to make this play with. And thus far, we have no read to the contrary. Plus his stats would seem to back that up. Also, this guy will have more than K3 or A3, these guys are all about the s00ted cards.

Remember that saying to don't go broke in a limped pot? Well definitely don't do it with a counterfeited medium two-pair against a passive donk.
