I feel like this is a really strange line for villian to take. A5 kind of makes sense, but other then that, 99 / 88 would most likely raise the turn.
I almost folded, should i just always be folding to werid lines like this at the micros?

I think villain would have quite often raised OTF or OTT with stronger hands. It is true that these weird lines are often for value and call call donk line is super strong. Folding would be ok but AA is one of your best bluff catchers here so imo it is not terrible to call sometimes.

Why would he raise on this board?
I think this is a value line and we can fold.

Without looking: Yes, would've called this one too. Higher chance he got the Q but there are always other hands he could have called you with.

With looking: well, you won't bump into quads everyday :f_biggrin:

You have only the rare JTs higher that is not a full house. You should call if you don't like the game "guess if villain is bluffing", and think that that option produces better results. You beat some mistaken value donks too.

I just think at this limit most regs are not going to be bluffing here and that's what makes it kind of a bad call despite the werid line. Most of the time werid lines = good hand vs regs (at my limit).

I think you got the population read right. It is still a rare move on NL5.
