    Default I called but aren't we supposse to fold this?

    Villain has a cpfr of 40 percent and a af of.28 so he is super passive post flop. Honestly can't see such a player ever semi bluffing here or having anything that i beat. He likely isn't semi bluffing and such a passive guy would like just call down if he just got a pair on the flop. I'm honestly not even sure if he would lead out with an over pair weaker then my Qs.

    I'm sure he'd do this with JJ-99 and good 8x hands as well so I don't mind stacking off on this flop.

    How many hands did you have on him + what were his other stats?

    have 230 hands on villain. Perhaps i'm underestimating the aggressiveness of a player with an af of.28. Isn't a player with such low post flop aggression only gonna bet a big hand?

    Oh i also think my stack off is usually correct. My main question is how do we adjust versus players who are super passive post flop. Sure we need to take more notice of their bets and raises as they are not likely to bluff. How much more notice though? Should we say just assume he has the str8 when he leads out on the flop and just run for the hills?

    I wouldn't over think this too much, villian IMO has a pretty wide range, I'm thinking Ax, 22+. QJ+, KT+, I'm also believing flush draws are intense amount of his range on this flop, so likely we are way ahead here... I agree with getting it in.

    Take my words with a grain of salt though, I'm no pro.

    Stats aren't a cut-and-dry way of predicting the way an opponent is going to play a hand.
    Tilt is poker cancer. You catch it, you die.

    Predicting the future is more reliabable when past events are taken into consideration.

    The weather, horse racing , credit ratings , empoyment references , character profiling , solar eclipces , wife beating, snakes & ladders , vehicle insurance .Cant think of any more.

    Yea he would only bet his good hand with that low of an AF. The question is on this board, what is he thinking is a good hand?

    you might be HEAVILY overestimating the value of the AF stat. let's say villain is 100/40/.28 and never folds a hand post flop ever. he pretty much check/calls everything. all his AF means is that villain calls almost 4 times as much as he bets. So without doing any kind of extreme heavy lifting in the way of math, this hypothetical villain can prolly bet as wide as TPNK+, and draws of 8 outs or better (and probably even MPGK hands) every single time on every single street and still be calling 4 times as often as he's betting. that's a complete guesstimate, and an unrealistic scenario, but you get the idea.

    Agression FREQUENCY is the number where if it's deathly low, THEN you have a certainty that villain just never bets. ALLLL that being said, even if his AFq is deathly low, he can only bet TPNK+ hands and maybe some semi bluffs every once in a while and bet nothing else and call way too much and still see enough streets with a weak enough range to achieve that passivity.

    so all that being said, making some assumptions on villain because we weren't given many reads:

    he's prolly not folding often to your raise once he bets, so i think his betting range~his continuing range.

    other points: why are you bought in for 65bbs at 2nl? why do we have no reads on such a loose villain after 230 friggin hands? that last point is prolly the biggest leak in this hand, and why it's so unnecessarily difficult to put villain on a hand

    Flaming the chatbox cause they just don't get it
    Ridiculously standard cause he's never bluffing or because you're never folding your QQs here. For me this is not standard so I would like to know your inside fnord

    Not folding.

    o We have a goodish over-pair in a bigish pot.
    o Opponent plays badly
    o Wet board
    o Opponent's line looks like he's protecting something. AA/KK don't seem as likely as 99-JJ given the pre-flop action and number of combinations.

    I would say his range is mostly 44,55,88,99-JJ some 2pair junk and normaly alot of suited spades, but since littleorge says villain is super passive postflop I would discard alot of the semi-bluffing hands and if he isn't overplaying those their isn't mutch we win from right?

    Not that I think that's his range...

    I snap AI, make a note if he shows up here with 2 pair or better, and watch his future bets to get a better read.
