Mark_Port157:

Only have 6 hands on villain. He has played three of them, one of them was a mid position limp. Quick OPR search can make us confident he is a new player.

Think flop and turn are clear bets for value. Expect to be called by worse pairs a lot, plus some sort of draw.

We happy enough calling it off on the turn? Assumption being that he will overvalue hands like 88,99. Could be playing jacks this way plus random hands with a 6 in and the odd explosion.

Call?

I dont think i ever call here, as i just dont think we are infront of anything that we beat.  Moreso, if we are infront, its not enough of the time to make this profitable call.

Blinds are early and low, and i dont think we need to be calling it off vs a fairly wide range.

Fold and move on, tag the guy as a little active and go from there

Anybody else?

I folded in game but think its probably a call.

Readless I reluctantly fold, it"s likely a very close one this but the risk : reward is not good.

Been away from the game for a while but for what it"s worth I would fold. Not worth the risk at this stage and be confident in your ability to get into much better spots later. Make a note and fold on.

Before you bet the 295 on the turn did you have a plan if he check raised you? Did you have a range that you put him on?

I don"t play online much but assuming the play at this buy in is similar to the <£150 in live then small raises are going to get called by anything and everything and leave you in an awkward spot.
IMO you should have raised more preflop as you have not defined anything with this raise and it"s not much different than limping hoping to catch a set. Unless that"s what the intention was, so then fold.

readless this is a good line if you fold
