CO: $2.05 (103 bb)
BU: $4.84 (242 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is MP with Q A
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.06, 1 fold, BTN calls $0.06, 2 players fold

Hero bets $0.08, BTN calls $0.08

Turn: ($0.31) 9 (2 players)

River: ($0.31) 3 (2 players)

What is villain's turn check back range here? would he be betting most of his TPTK and better? he should be betting his made flushes,sets etc. I would think so on the river what do we think about bluffing him off his marginal range? best sizings?

It's always tough to give a unknown villain on NL2 a good range. Also bluffing is tough. Read less I would play the same.

OOP we can use a strategy with a lot of checking. Just no need to cbet halfpot here. Anyway the 9 is a great card for second barrel. I would end up overbet tripple barrel it off sometime, if i bet flop. As played i wouldnt bluff river if i dont bet turn.

He flats BTN if we give him some range here he connects quite often here, so i would end up checking here 80 % of the time on the flop probably, or go with a tiny range bet 25 % potzsize bet or 30 % is fine, and start to second barrel a lot if i bet flop

when he checks the turn back, he mostly sitting on some weak madehand pocket 88, 66, or 1 pair draw like T8 of spades here. I guess he has some showdown value when he calls flop half pot bet and checkback turn. He also can have two pair + and is too passive to bet himself that happpens too.

On flop its check/call or check/raise. I wouldnt bet because I expect to have close to 0% fold equity.

As for turn if you bet - I dislike LMcrow idea to triple this - we have better hands for bluff - KQ/KJ/QJ/65 and blocking backdoor flushdraw is bad(we block floats on flop that will fold to turn bet).
