I have a hard time folding rivers after c/c two streets, as if there is an unwritten rule that I shouldn’t.
Yeah I do too, it's an act of discipline, something I often lack.
I was wondering if folding a river after c/c two streets is ok.
It's obviously ok in some spots, whether this is one of them is open to debate but I think it's ok. He certainly can have AK here and he probably bets it on the river because we look so much like Qx. This is also another reason why it's hard to imagine someone who isn't obviously a moron is betting the river light here, because he can't seriously expect us to fold a queen for less than half pot at showdown.
I agree TT is value enough to 3 bet pre but wouldn’t it be better to call if villain is folding a lot to 3bets?
If we're seeing him r/f button vs big blind often then sure we can 3bet lighter and trap TT+ but your read on him gives no reason to think he is raise/folding to 3bets in such spots. People on the button make lighter calls to 3bets because they are in position and we know the button gets 3bet lighter from the blinds because that's the dynamic of button vs blinds.
So as a default, I would say no, don't call TT, that's a tricky advanced play for balance and deception as we build a sample size against this villain. We want strong hands in our 3bet range to balance the A5s etc that are bluffs. We don't hate being 4bet when we have TT, especially if we're deep, so we definitely wants hands we can continue with in our range. We'll need more than the premiums if we have lots of bluffs.
Hands like 22-66, I mean against villains who we think are stealing wide from the button we should just throw these hands away. We miss the flop 90% of the time and when we don't we're not up against a hand that can pay us off often enough. If we 3bet we hate being called. Low pocket pairs are great when villain's range is strong, not when it's weak. I'd rather 3bet 23s than 22 in a bu vs bb spot.
