Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$2/$4 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 2:s, K:h.
3 folds, Hero raises, BB calls.

Flop: (4 SB) 2:h, 8:s, 9:d (2 players)
Hero bets, BB calls.

Turn: (3 BB) A:c (2 players)
Hero ??

Villain: 28/21/2.8/40, 300 hands, solid winning TAG

What's the best line here? I think I would go for a c/c, he could bluffraise all of his gutshots on this turn but b/calldown seems to be a bit marginal. I don't want to b/f and get kicked out by something like J7o. C/f is obviously too weak.

Against this opponent, c/c turn and c/f river if he bets imo. Might seem a bit weak, but i think it's good play against this guy:

He rarely has an ace given that he didnt 3bet you preflop. Allso no PP's in his range. So pair deuces, eights and nines and variety of straightdraws and overcards are in his range.
Given he is thinking player he knows that ace on the turn hits alot of your range (more then any other card), so he is alot more likely to relese gutshots against your cbet than raise them (because knowing he's just not getting good enaugh fold EQ). On the other hand, if you check the turn, he might try to bet to steal pot with gutshots thinking you gave up.

But if you c/c turn and he bets the river again he has you beat, because he knows you c/ced turn with SD intention, cause you wouldnt play draws passive on the turn when A falls - therefore he can't make you fold better hand with some low strightdraw cards and won't be betting air.

c/c is fine i think. he could try to barrel you off with his straightdraws from QT QJ Kx hands and since you need to have a c/c range with pairs, K2 is almost your bottom range in that situation and you don'T wanna get raised and neither you have 2 valuebets. he may decide to cb x8 or x9 if J Q falls on the river.
