Read: Nothing in particular, except that UTG is limping his fair share of pots, including with A + rag, but raises preflop with the better hands. But this is from a few hands only.

Microgaming - £0.04 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: £6.70
Hero (BTN): £4.00
SB: £6.75
BB: £4.35
UTG: £3.36
MP: £4.19

SB posts SB £0.02, BB posts BB £0.04

Pre Flop: (pot: £0.06) Hero has T♥ 7♥

UTG calls £0.04, MP raises to £0.16, fold, Hero calls £0.16, fold, fold, UTG calls £0.12

Flop: (£0.54, 3 players) 2♠ 7♠ A♦
UTG checks, MP checks, Hero checks

Turn: (£0.54, 3 players) 3♣
UTG bets £0.26, fold, Hero calls £0.26

River: (£1.06, 2 players) K♠
UTG bets £0.52, Hero raises to £1.56, fold

Spoiler

Hero wins £2.01

My river raise is targeting Ax (and perhaps 88/99/TT, if that is what he has). I am representing whatever the board lets me represent in his eyes (which would probably mostly be a flush or a fishy rivered two pair).

Question: Am I too optimistic about peoples ability to fold to a river raise at these stakes?

Hi,

I don´t like your pre-flop call. T7s is marginal hand and mostly doe snot flop anything good- if you want to play it profitable then 3-betting is better option.
Postflop I would prefer bet flop for value and if get called then mostly give up.
Not sure if you´re ahead enough times to call turn. River bluffshove is fine- he would likely b/f his Ax hands (although he may also be just bluffing smt like 44/55 and you shoved there for value :)

best regards,
