[25NL] Wet, Tight, and Hairy

[tomato paste carnage]

Villain is an unknown. I had been at the table for 20 hands, and villain had been involved in only one, which he took down preflop.

This hand is a shit show, leaving me thinking "wtf". I know I didn't play it as well as I could have, and would like some input as to how it could have been played better.

First off, is checking behind on the flop a better play? Villain has been tight over the very small sample size, and I've got decent equity against his range(~40% equity against JJ+, and ~61% against JJ+ AQs+ AQo+), which justifies the call.

The turn card sucks. Any flush draw he might have been reraising the flop with has completed, and part of his 3bet range hit a set. I checked behind to avoid getting reraised, to which I would have to fold.

The river comes and the only part of his range I am worried about are any flushes that were made on the turn, and AQ. I still have 65% equity versus his range from the flop.

Typing that out makes me think it's a lulzsnapcall, but I'd like to get FTR's opinion.

Pre-flop: Fold Flop: It depends, don't hate your line.
Turn: Easy check
River: LOLSnapCall.

Calling a 3 bet 100bb deep vs an unknown with 89s is just spew, especially at 25NL where the avg player doesn't 3 bet all that lightly.

I'd probably just check the flop back. I think he's either c/f this flop with overcards that don't have that much equity vs you anyway or he's taking some funky line with a big hand (maybe sometimes pot controlling JJ AT but not too often) I really don't wanna get c/r here, and I think we do better just controlling the pot size since he prolly doesn't c/c this flop with any worse hand, we can perhaps induce a turn bet from his missed overs or bet the turn when checked to surer that he has way less funky monsters in his range.

As played river's an ez call.
