      Hi axeboy90

      I am not sure if this is the right hand history but BU just limped to the pot according to the one you posted. This would make his limp a normal limp and not a steal while your raise would be a normal raise and not a 3bet.

      Preflop: vs a limp I wouldn't raise J8s as we will often be dominated and we don't want to play big pots OoP. So I would just check.

      Flop: as played, I would cbet this board for value vs his lower PPs/straight draws and for protection vs overcards.

      Turn: I would prefer a c/c here as whatever he called with on the flop he is not folding on the turn and we could bet the river for value if he checks behind with his worse hands.

      River: as played, if he had some sort of straight draw (QT/T8/KQ) he improved and his lower PPs are not calling a 3rd bet (though with 55/8 he might be loose enough) so I would just check/fold here. Also, his AF is 0.9 so I don't expect him to bluff here at all.

      Hope this helps

      Hi.

      Preflop: I think this is close between a limp and a raise. You have 2 mid/high cards and they are suited and connected so I think your hand plays and fares well vs a 50%+ range. The more villain plays fit or fold postflop (high fold to F cbet), the more you should raise here preflop.

      Flop: If you think he is loose, you should definitely be 2 barreling here for value vs 9X and straight draws.

      River: I would c/f this river which improves many of those hands like T8 or QT or Q8. I would bet again with AJ/KJ though.

      Thanks for the replies guys. I'm better taking initiative preflop with a fairly good hand like that so I raise more often than I call in this spot. The thing to take into account is that I didn't had stats on table so I didn't know his vpip or pfr. I just knew he was a fish and thought his range is wide enough to 2nd barrel. I cbetted the river because I think he calls many worse pp's and 9x's.

      I'm still wondering (given his hand at showdown) if my bet is profitable on the river.

      I think the bet is -EV even if villain always calls all his 9X which is definitely not going to be the case. You lose to J9-JA, and you lose to some QX, and 6X, and straights. Basically you are an underdog vs his River calling range so you cannot bet River. And if he bets, there are hardly any busted draws so you are crushed vs his betting range unless you think he turns 9X into a bluff which I really doubt.

      This means that this an easy check, and when he bets it's an easy fold.
