I do not think, that villain will bluff play his 2p hands here like this very often. Besides, we block his 2p combinations.

Thing is that I feel like this might be a straight very often. And without reads, I tend to fold pretty much always.

With 8♦: we block some of his FDs, but I am not sure whether that is even relevant in this spot.

They say, that pot bet sizing is usually polarized. But I just do not see enough bluffs in his range to make this profitable.

What are your thoughts?

Thank you.

Would usually shove preflop as this is bit strongish hand for my taste to limp-fold. But it's ok to limp if villain is on passive side.

Postflop is fine. Villain betting pot is indeed polarised usually to straight or air. Some Qd6d would make lot of sense as bluff but yeah this line is often underbluffed imo.

With middle pair you could think of making a thin value and protection bet, but rest seems fine. Tough to fold 2 pair HU I think.

Cheers,

why dont you shove turn for protection? lots of wiirse hands can call. I think its close if this spot is underbluffed because a probe is after check is always overbluffed.
