Pre Flop: (1.5 SB) Hero is BB with J :spade: 6 :spade:
1 fold, CO raises, 1 fold, SB calls, Hero calls

Flop: (6 SB) 9 :diamond: J :heart: T :diamond: (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, CO checks

Turn: (3 BB) K :spade: (3 players)
SB bets, Hero ?

Hey guys,

SB is unknown, CO seems to be spewy splashy pre, more of a passive player post on a small sample. Question: what would you do in this spot?

I would fold.

He looks passive (called pre) and I think he almost always has Kx+ there leading out vs two players. I don't see it to be a bluffing spot at all for him.. and I doubt he's even betting his Jx. And CO sometimes has the King as well.

Hi!

Yap I agree,folding my preffered option as well. Pot is quite small and with relatively weak holding vs two players you are not doing that great like Taavi said.
My second best would be to raise for freeSD.This way you can make CO fold even some Kx and win when SB(bad player) is just bluffing or betting a worse made hand. If I knew SB as a guy who doesnt think much and just bets when its checked to him this line would actually be my preffered one. But if I dont know SB solid fold looks much better

In my humble opinion it's an easy fold because every K and Q is beating us, we're not closing the action and the pot is relatively small.

I would fold as well but it's not as clear as you might think i guess. given sb is a fool, he could be betting any pair and i think that CO would bet AQ and would rather check back a hand like AK. Questionable but frequently CO does have a small pocketpair or some Ax hopeless hand. Ah i just got that SB is unknown and CO is splashy. Hmm. If Sb would be unreasonable, i would call down but it's unusual on smallstakes that somebody bets oop into 2 with a worse hands. he's more likely to check weaker pairs and just bet better hands but with no reads at all, it's complicated. Since it got checked through and SB could coldcall ton of hands, i don't consider you to be alway that far behind. I'm torn and not sure whats the best play :(
