Villain was tagged as fish but he wasn't that terrible so I retagged him as regfish, lacks positional awareness (EP open 10, CO 12, BTN 24), 44 cbet, 55 fold to cbet (62 in 3bet pots (8/13)).
Note: - quite weak and able to fold rivers
Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 5♦ 7♣ 8♥ 9♣
fold, CO raises to 3.5 BB, fold, Hero raises to 11.5 BB, fold, CO calls 8 BB
We had a lengthy discussion about 3betting this hand from SB and I'm still not sure about it but w/e.
Flop: (24 BB, 2 players) K♣ 8♠ A♠
Hero bets 16 BB, CO calls 16 BB
I was not sure whether to cbet or not because of his tight opening range which hits this board more often than an average reg's range.
Turn: (56 BB, 2 players) 6♥
Hero ?
Very interesting spot as two characteristics about him are opposing themselves here.
One is the same from the problem with cbetting, his range is quite narrow to begin with so this board hits him more than others.
However, he seems quite bad and would call flop too wide here with weak aces that can barely improve and might be dead as well as ambitious draws like QsJsJ9 or something similar.
What's your play here and why?
