Hand History #352573566

The villain had been very quiet until this hand.

They had hardly shown any agression before this either.

I guess it was shove or fold after there turn bet?

I folded, would love to know what they had...................

    way too nitty.

    think what he flats with out of the blinds and then donk pots a 7 hi flop.

    I'm going for 55/66/88/99/TT/JJ/A7 and scared of overcards - way more than when he shows up with AA/KK/77

    I think he calls a shove, and I don't want a scare card to come on the river (scare for him more than anything) so I'd stick him in :)

    There donk bets did confuse me though, as they had been sat for a good 45 minutes and had been real passive up to this point...............

    it looks like he thinks he has the best hand and hes trying to protect it lol  do you have any reads on what kind of hands he calling opens to and how he plays  etc?  i think i would just call the turn and see how he reacts to a scary card, i think shoving could be better and folding is the worse option

    like your flop play

    turn I just jam.  tonnes worse can call us.  there are a couple of 4s in his range but I wouldn't expect him to be donking them.  I fully expect to see 8s thru to Js here.

    Hell yeah it is!

    He's probably put you on AK/AQ when you flat his flop bet (which I like btw).

    You've set him up to overvalue his middle PP's and top pair hands as you don't look strong. As said above it looks like HE thinks he has the best hand, and he doesn't want you to draw out on him.

    I'd defo jam turn here.

    My reads were that he had been very passive and was limp calling alot.

    This was the first time he took the betting lead which threw me a bit.

    yeah i get paranoid when loose passive players sudenly wake up and start betting into me, thats why i would take the call instead of shove line on the turn which im not sure is the best play because he is bad and can have to many hands that we beat, he definatly thinks his hand is good tho

    i just think there will be plenty of cards that would slow him down if his hand is not crushing us and i think he would check and call it off, and if a scary card hits and he pots it again then i can just level myself and fold lol, its just coz he is passive they just worry me lol

    SO SHIP THE TURN!!!
