Spoiler

$3.95 pot ($0.18 rake)
Final Board: 7 J 5 8
UTG mucked and won $3.77 ($1.87 net)
Hero mucked Q Q and lost (-$1.90 net)

19/14, 3bet: 2.6, AF: 1.3, WTSD:36, hands: 111

Seems like a normal, bit ABC reg from his stats (with a bit too high wtsd, but only based on 111 hands), yet he picks a very strange line.

The only hand that makes perfect sense (if any), is 88, or maybe A:c K:c / A:c K:c. Other than that...would he check/call sets or diamonds on the flop? Would he check some Axs in clubs, then decided to call for some reason, and hit the draw on turn and raised?

We are very deep here, so i didnt wanted to 3bet on the turn, and i didnt like the call here, cause i will have no clue what to play on different river cards (do i call on non-club low cards? which overcards do i hate and fold to? can i call on a low diamond if he shoves?).

Hey Absolutism,

Preflop call is fine.

On flop we want to bet vs UTG's missed cbet for value.

Turn is generally just a fold at these limits. Yes, villain could be bluffing, but most guys don't bluff often here at these limits. Depending on his stats could be a number of hands, 78s, 9T, slowplayed sets etc. 3bet turn would generally be an overplay unless we have reads.
