On the flop I was thinking about MDF meaning we would need to defend half our range, I thought top pair would a defend. I am trying to think of a range which he limps and I guess I would give him something like this:

Its interesting because he bets pot are we giving him a polarized range here?
- Do you think he would pot with under-pairs like 55-88 ? seems optimistic I guess...
- I think he may pot with his gut-shots, namely 65s,A5s and A3s.

I need 33% equity to call flop I think I have it if he pots with his gut-shots and FD's. was also thinking about MDF and top pair is probably in the 50% defending range.

On the turn his gut-shots get there, top pair is still top pair. V sizes down now and bets 44% pot. I find this interesting and not sure how to interpret this besides a value bet I guess? since many of his draws could check behind for a free river.

I call and river comes, and it completes villains FD's if he was semi-bluffing, now I check and V bets very small . I'm getting 4.5:1. Because villain sized down this made me suspicious he was trying to string me along for thin value, all his bluffs got there and I thought I was probably never good. I folded. I think maybe it was worth the 10c for information but maybe its better to save 5bb long term lol. Thoughts?

MDF doesnt matter on flop. I would check/call anyway with high SPR.
As played I'm calling river - yeah, I realize you are beat more often than not, but for that price I'm not folding top pair. 40% on turn and 30% on river looks weak.

If you call flop and turn you need to call the river as well for the insane odds you get. Offcourse there aren't many hands you beat, but you never know on NL2.

Never folding the flop with top pair and the bdfd on the turn your getting a good price to call and same with the river and having the Ts blocking flushes is an advantage for us on the river.

9To is a hand that doesent play well oop multiway, even when we consider utg having a more tight range here,
i think preflop fold is the best play here.

As played, you are getting a really good price for showdown, so i think calling river is fine.
