I had 50 hands about villain, but he played 91/11/5, so I marked him as a big big fish :f_biggrin:

PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 6 players

Korevik (UTG): $1.97 (99 bb)
LahtiPelican (MP): $2.29 (115 bb)
@rnalsan (CO): $2.68 (134 bb)
sr_cappelli (BU): $1.66 (83 bb)
San4ezzz63 (SB): $2.31 (116 bb)
Demokhrit (BB): $2.12 (106 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero (LahtiPelican) is MP with A T
1 fold, LahtiPelican (MP) raises to $0.06, 1 fold, sr_cappelli (BU) calls $0.06, 2 players fold

Flop: ($0.15) K 6 T (2 players)
LahtiPelican (MP) bets $0.09, sr_cappelli (BU) calls $0.09

The cbet is as standard as the preflop open, I think.

Turn: ($0.33) 9 (2 players)
LahtiPelican (MP) checks, sr_cappelli (BU) checks

On the turn my plan was ch/fold.

River: ($0.33) A (2 players)
LahtiPelican (MP) bets $0.18, sr_cappelli (BU) raises to $0.86, LahtiPelican (MP) ???

The river helped me, but it could be a nice card for some draws too. After villains raise, I think I van beat something like A6 and we can split the pot with AT. On the other hand villain got ther with flush draws and QJ.

Question 1: What else is in villains range after the raise OTR?

Question 2: Is bet/fold is better play on OTT instead of check/fold?

Question 3: As a raise not an option OTR, should I fold or call?

90/11 is a call 365/24/7.

Regarding question 2:
I think bet/fold is not good. Mainly because you are OOP and you do not have a very strong hand. Even against a big fish.

River raise by villain is a polarized one. Looking at his stats, there are many bluffs in his range. Your T is a flush blocker, so call is fine.

Why not cbet the turn?

I would have taken a completely different line here. (If it's a normal table and not zoom)
Check flop, check/call turn & river.

I pick up a lot of money with checking the flop with medium hands and calling the probe bet that is 90% of the time coming.
