First hand of the game, villain completely unknown (later on he turned out to be quite reasonable, but not a crusher :)).
PF standard. Suited 2 gapper, low but still can catch some equity.
I've noticed that on those kind of boards 2barrell very often makes villains to fold (actually even 1barrell quite often does the same). Sizing I think is OK, although I think I could even bet slightly less.
I kind of missed that there were FDs but on 2 paired board it seemed to be quite unlikely that villain would be drawing.
I was wondering what to play on river (complete blank BTW) if he'd check. I'd probably check back as 2 calls seemed as he had sort of a hand. On the other hand I was also considering push as I thought that my line would look quite strong and he'd probably fold any hand worse than 2P + A as a kicker (so still something out of he could have had) AND i would lose for sure after checking back to him.
It was however regardless, as villain made me completely surprised by his low donkbet - I literally had no idea what his range could be at that moment and thought that I had very low fold equity.
What would you do on river:
- when the guy checks?
- when he plays as he did?
I'de be of course grateful for the evaluation of my whole line too.
