    Default Extremely odd turn and river action BTN vs BB

    Villain is a complete unknown (it's zoom).

    I'm struggling to see what value hands he can check the turn with after the flop checks through - if he has a monster and thinks he has the deck crushed on the flop, surely he leads the turn (especially this turn) after I check the flop back to start trying to get some value for a flopped straight or set.

    If he doesn't want to risk two streets checking through with a flopped monster, the only value hands I can put in his range for the turn c/r are A9s, A8s, A5s, but I block some of those anyway, so I think he has lots of missed XXdd here including some AXdd that he's turning into a bluff as well as some AJ/AT that he's value owning himself with.

    Thoughts?

    SB: $24.10 (150.6 bb)
    BB: $9.12 (57 bb)
    UTG: $29.93 (187.1 bb)
    MP: $17.61 (110.1 bb)
    CO: $14.85 (92.8 bb)
    Hero (BTN): $16.82 (105.1 bb)

    Preflop: Hero is BTN with K A
    3 folds, Hero raises to $0.48, SB folds, BB calls $0.32

    Flop: ($1.04) 9 8 5 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero checks

    Turn: ($1.04) A (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $0.49, BB raises to $2.46, Hero calls $1.97

    River: ($5.96) 2 (2 players)
    BB bets $6.18 and is all-in

    Start playing poker and stop mashing buttons.

    Villain has a 57bb stack and is a fish.

    I'm folding turn. As played, still folding. I think this is 67 or aces up the vast majority of the time.

    This isn't odd turn and river action imo.

    Villain flops strong hand. Villain misses flop c/r. Turn brings card that hero will bet with value or air a vast majority of the time, so he goes for c/r again.

    If villain has A5+ on turn, why wouldn't he go for a c/r? Seems pretty reasonable to me.

    Hi Griffey,

    Yes I see, the more I looked at this hand, the more I though it was kind of standard and not that odd, I guess it's just coming back to poker after a while away and fairly normal stuff seeming puzzling.

    In a vacuum, would you fold the turn or call and re-evaluate the river?

    Turn is kinda gross, cause he just makes it SOOO HUGE. I'm kind of inclined to fold.

    More often than not I'd probably call turn and re-eval river though.
