Hi dragonste,

In this case, the board presents a number of draws that villain could have. He might have a flush/straight draw, TP + draw, he could already have the straight.

Flop: I would bet bigger (~0.35) for protection and value. Since villain made a 2-bet, it would be normal to make our 3-bet because our hand then fold to a re-raise because, in that sense, we would know that we're already behind.

Hello dragonste,

Since he would also play this way his TP type of hands which is trying to protect and also 2pairs and obvious that also straights and sets this way. Against that kind of range we oftentimes are getting pretty good equity and therefore I'd also get it in on flop.

Equity calculation:
Equity Win Tie Loss Hand
Player 1: 43,433% 42,485% 1,896% 55,619% JJ+, AQs+, AhTh, KTs+, Q9s, AQo+, KTo+, Q9o
Player 2: 56,567% 55,619% 1,896% 42,485% TsTc

Best regards.
