This was relatively early on with some mined stats, his ptr is - $100k over a decent sample.

stats

53 vpip /33 pfr /st 42

3b 20/ ft3b 0

AF 2.1

hands 379

Hate my line, as it puts me in difficult spots and gives him the oportunity to bluff me out of the pot :f_confused:

I think a bet/fold on the turn is way better imo

Any thoughts on bet sizing?

I like your betsizing at the flop (preflop is standard imo although you could make it slightly bigger because you are 120BB deep).

At the turn there are more arguments for checking than for betting.

Check:
If you check he's likely to check behind all his 2pairs and even sets because he should be afraid of you holding an ace.
At the same time he shouldn't be floating this board oftentimes because it hits your range pretty hard.
So if you check it should be to check/fold - if he bets the majority of his range is 9x or Ax.

Bet:
If you choose to bet you'll almost never get called by worse. Most 2pairs will fold (you beat most of them), maybe even some sets. But with the sets he is also likely to call on his full house outs, so since you'll check the river you are valuetowing yourself.
But you will fold out the few floats he has in his range.

So vs the kind of unknown i like the check more than the bet - but it's to check/fold.

Thx Bierbaer, it actually makes alot of sense playing c/f as villain is unlikely to bluff the turn very often esp with my range hitting the flop so hard.

It sucks though folding top 2 _mad:
