psimalive: OH EM GEE WHAT DO I DO
Preflop I'm minraising because the name is unknown to me, which is usually synonymous with "bad" or "low stakes player", which means I'm ramping up my aggression super super high and keeping pots small. Flop play is standard, turn is weird because the donklead after c/c flop is usually very strong... but strong could be K3, or AK, or 46, or 68ss.... really depends on villain. Obv. I pump it up. River man I don't know, villain snap checked. I think there's a good argument for a large bet (b/f), small bet (b/c), small bet (b/f), and checking back. Even though this is a super tight spot, I think your equity loss taking any option is pretty small. Anyone have any firm thoughts?
id check. coz dun want to be check-raised. U atack him all the streets, so i think he want u atack river
I don't think that many unknowns are going to bluff-raise you all in if you bet here. I think bet smallish / fold is going to be your best option.
How small are you betting here?
Given his line I feel like a lot of bad players might raise two pair hands here, though the snap check usually indicates they aren't going to do this... most bad players imo that would c/r 2 pair would think for a little bit.
Probably what xSCWx said especially given the timing, just make sure you don't bet too small and level yourself into a bad fold when he CR, definitely not a spot you want to convince him he can bluff you in.
