I thought villain would likely 3-bet his best PP's pre-flop. On the flop I think I could have sized up bit the board was kind of dry besides gut-shots and random T8 so I bet small-ish. The turn is a blank except for possibility of 22, I bet again and get raised. Here I think he can have 9x, 77,22. I also think he can potentially have 88,TT or maybe even JJ once in a while. I just call because I think I can be beat and the min-raise seems strong. I planned on folding to a good bet on the river but when ANOTHER 9 comes in it makes it even harder for him to have a 9. I check and villain bets on the smaller side ..slightly under half pot. I need to win 25% of the time . I give his range:
- A9dd,K9dd,Q9dd,J9dd,T9dd and maybe 98dd
- 77,22.
I lose to all of these hands which is 12 combos, If I can give his range TT I can justify the call, if I include an over-played 88 some portion of the time or even some JJ I think I can call. I think theres a decent chance TT and JJ raise pre-flop but some players might flat and I have seen strange things at 2nl. Thoughts?
