Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.05/$0.1 No-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)

Known players:
[tg]MP3$16.73:///////;CO$13.83:///////;BU$10.15:///////;SB (Hero)$10.20:///////;BB$5.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is SB with 7:c, 8:c.
MP3 folds, CO raises to $0.40, BU folds, Hero raises to $1.30, BB folds, CO calls $0.90.

Flop: ($2.7) T:c, T:d, 9:c (2 players)
Hero bets $2.10, CO calls $2.10.

Turn: ($6.9) 4:h (2 players)
Hero raises to $6.80,

Co is 14/12/2 on 400 hands, fold to flop cbet - 14%
Is this the right play on the turn? Do i still have enough equity to go all in?

You can 3bet this occasionally, but I wouldn't bother in general. There's really no need to defend aggressively vs nits since they are not stealing much.

Flop: I really like your bet size here to set up turn shove.

Turn: Your equity vs calling range is is probably around 28-30%. You need 33% to go all in. CO needs to fold a very small percentage of the time for shoving to be profitable, so just go for it. Tho obv you are going to loose to overpairs quite a lot.

Here is what it boils down to: CO is so tight that when you get into a pot with him postflop, more often than not he'll have a hand that he's not ready to fold. This is evidenced somewhat by his fold to c-bet%.

That means two things:

1/ your 3-bets need to be close to profitable with preflop alone, meaning even if you 3bet and check/fold the flop when you have air you still turn a profit from him just folding preflop often.

2/ when you do decide to c-bet a flop, you need enough equity to commit to a turn shove, since he won't straight up fold on the flop often enough to make c-betting the flop alone profitable and you actually need to threaten the whole stack to get a fold out of him.

Given that I agree with what john said.

Hope it helps.
