Hey,

You can really consider just folding the turn against his raise, even though it is so small. Have you seen him to some random stuff before? If not it's really better to just fold one pair hands. Since you open from BU you will have quite a few hands that can continue, many 2pair, all sets, quite a few combo draws that get the odds to call here. Your TP without a redraw is not good generally.

Hi manu, what do you expect villain to show up with here? Is it just mainly 2pair +?

AT,A9,A5,T9,TT,99,55, what other hands? I assume he would have turned combo draws in his range himself also? Like JhQh

Thanks

Yeah, close.. I would discount a few flopped 2pair combos and sets, I'd say maybe 50/50 for raising flop? T9 seems like the most obvious to me since it has just become 2pair and it's a hand you can really expect him to play like this: call flop with a pair, raise with 2 pair on the turn.

I don't think combo draws get aggro all of a sudden after just calling flop, so no KQhh, QJhh, KJhh, especially after our small bet. OMG I missed that. Definitely bigger bet on the flop. 2.50, easy going. That changes a bit in the sense that now probably like 66-70% of the 2pair and sets raise flop, same with combo draws.

The other thing is we have no good river cards to make good decisions since there won't be enough busted draws in his range, we would rely on him checking river a lot and us winning. If we consider our own range, we don't need to call AQdd probably since we will have other hands with OK equity and cleaner outs when opening from BU and betting twice here.
