SNG 6max 0.5€ T8o limp pot | HU

Preflop check is best. Doesnt make sense to raise hand like this. In general you want to have somewhat polarized raise range when free flop is possibility.

Flop raise make no sense as its really dry and your hand is not strong enough to look for stack off. Also tough to get weaker ones to call. Turn would be reasonable as you now beat Tx and might get action from some J9 or flush draw. But if doing that you have to stack off. Personally I would keep this in calling range most of time.

In river you have around 17bb behind. If you think villain is unable to fold any Tx to shove it should be bit better to go for it. But you obviously block some of those Tx and villain can have stuff like 6x, 79 or occasional pocket as slowplay. So default line is just call in river if you assume villain bets this half pot with 6x+ as well. If not then his value range is weighted toward Tx and shove can be way better.

Most of the time I would lead the flop for value and protection against a loose passive limper, but as played I agree with ghaleon.

Thank you for your replies. Yes i don't have a clear hand and raising would put me against his strong range. Could i lead on turn? Could make some sense but still i feel that i'm going to scare all of this weaker hands.

I would always check to the aggressor and if you get a raise or shove you need to stack of with 2 pair and he could have a 6 in his range.

jup. as a rule of thumb the more you think you have the nuts the more you should tend to stack of. If you raise in anytime in the hand you rep more than you have. If you do that its ugly to fold a strong hand like this and you turn yoir hand into a bluff. If you want to balance you have to find a value range and mix in some bluffs. If you dont have any showdown value for example you can put in a raise on turn or river to get regs to fols weak stuff.

According to that you can handle this as a process of elimination. You dont have a clear made hand to stack of and you dont have either a hand with less to none sd value who you want to bluff better players with. So whats left? just a call down way ahead way behind to get max value from his bluffs.
