Hard spot on river with mid 2-pair.

T8s pre can go either way it's a non issue really just depends on your ranges. Flop and turn cbets are fine also imo. Vs the turn check raise you really only beat a flopped 89s - 4 combos and you have a blocker to it as'well. I think the minimum villain value raises with is Aces up 2 pair , perhaps T9s which has you beat anyway.

I think making a tight turn fold is probably the correct decision here. It seems quite weak but when you think about it your relative hand strength to the board is no better than say AJ- AK , they are pretty much equal strength/equity Vs villains range here.

Thanks! Helpfull comment! The relative hand strenght is a lot weaker then I realized myself after the check-raise.

But let's say I make this tight fold on the turn, don't you think that this is a good board to semi-bluff for hands like Kx of diamonds or any jack which he can have a lot of since he is the big blind caller?

Ye its possibly a good spot for him to use some bluffs. But people generally call again or fold with draws on the turn depending on pot odds or how fishy they are. Rather than check raise the turn with them.

If villain has enough bluffs to make calling T8s profitable we should likely be calling AJ AQ AK as'well . If villain isn't check raising the turn with hands like AK AQ AJ himself then T8s is the same as AK AQ AJ for us. It beats nothing in villains value check raise turn range and becomes pure bluff catcher.

Question you need to ask is does villain have enough bluffs here.And from the tendencies of players at 5nl id say no people don't have enough bluffs in this spot. unless you have very good reads to say other wise on the player id go from population reads from the site and stakes your playing.

Also remember you raised from UTG so if villain is somewhat positionally aware hes going to have quite a tight range himself.

Yes hes in the BB but hes not defending that wide of a range vs UTG. Its not the same as a BB vs Btn or SB defending range, for example hes very unlikely calling like 30% or 40% of hands.

Follow the Baluga Theorem and fold everething below top 2P when facing a turn raise.
