Hello

Villain seems fishy. 43/0 after 14 hands and short stacked.

Turn: I figured I had the right odds to call his mini check raise. I'm aware that this mini check raise represents strength.

River: This looked like a natural fold river, because I was putting him on 2P or better OTR (straight is very possible). After I reviewed this on HM, I saw that I just needed to be good 25% of the time to call.

Question: Should I start calling in spots like this? If not 25%, is there any threshold I can use to call in these spots? (lets say 20% instead).

How did I play this in general?

Thanks

Hi goncalves7

You don't have to be "balanced" at 5nl in these spots. So you don't need to call 25% to not be exploited.

You have to play based on some assumptions and a fish min ck/raising the turn after calling flop is a good sign that you are beat. So unless we have a strong hand we are just folding there every time.

Hey,
should we be barrelling the 6d on the turn? I'd probably check back on this card, and only continue if we hit a A,K,J, spade or made our bdsd (Q or 8). If we barrel this card then are we barrelling to much or is it fine given that we have the FD?

That's a good question.

Given that most fish still float the flop with Ax or even other broadways betting a J high draw is definitely fine (better can fold) and we have equity if called (plus set up stacks if we hit).
