PreFlop:

I think a call is standard, i have a good enough hand in Blindplay and i have position. Eventually i can raise, but against this tight opponent, i isolate me against better hands.

Flop:

I only call his bet, so he can bluff the turn. When i raise him and he reraise i have to fold my hand against this tight opponent.

Turn:

The call is standard i think. The same reasons as on the flop. There are not so much draws possible. I do not need to protect my hand. WAWB?

River:

He checks to me, so i am sure to have the best hand. I bet small, so hands like TT-QQ can call. Unexpected he raises me relatively big. I folded because of the populationreads on this limit, which are mostly strong hands. I am not sure if i induced a bluff with my small bet against this tight opponent?

I am not sure if i can call the river? I think my small valuebet is ok, but can i call the raise?

Hi B ubble,

Why do you think hands like TT_QQ are so likely in his range?

Do you expect a nit like him to really bet 2-streets with those hands? I think it's optimistic.

At best he has something like AA.

Hi BogdanPS

Thanks for the fast reply.

Ok reading your answer a check behind on river would be the correct play. The bet was already a mistake.
But saying that where starts my mistake in the hand?

Preflop? Against this tight opponent KJo is a fold or a 3bet as bluff?
Flop call is ok? When the call on the flop is not ok, can i call such a hand against this opponent. When i call preflop, what am i supposed to continue with? 2 pair and better?

When he bets the turn, have i already to fold?

You see i am struggling a lot with hands that perhaps a are good to play against most opponents in blindplay but i am not sure this time.

Ok KJo is a call

But how to contiue the hand?

Call the flop is ok i think.

Fold the turn already?

When i call the turn and he bets the river fold the river is clear i think? But folding the river makes that it profitably to call the turn?

Why fold turn?

So it would be profitable to call the turn, and fold the river to a bet? I think i can't call a river bet against this player? Would he bet 3 streets a hand worse than KJ?

So like i understand the hand now:

Preflop call with KJo is ok

Flop call is ok

Turn call is ok

River: If he bets i have to fold, if he checks, i check behind?

Standard opening range from SB is K2s+,K9o+. Do you see weak hands?

Ok i see these hands in his range but would he bet the river with these hands? and perhaps with the small Kx hands would he perhaps not play the turn check/call?

I think turn call is ok. But the river i have to check behind?

I wanted to start to make thin valuebets, but now i think this was not the right spot?

What's his steal % in the SB?

He is very tight and definitely not your average player so it depends on how strong his steal range is here.

Vs a super strong one folding pre is ok. Otherwise calling is ok.

Calling flop/turn vs those bets is fine but river is a cehck back.

Why check back river? I would say, that BlackBubble did correctly making thin value bet on river.
We can get value from his high pocket pairs (QQ, AA) and KTs. We split on his KJ`s.
Still on his raise we need to find fold button.
