Funny thing is I won this hand, but after the showdown I asked myself if I my calldown was good. The River convinced me to call because now I can beat any two pair combination and every draw. On the flop I can not Fold Top Pair and this good Kicker, but want his bluffing range not to fold.I have no idea if I have played this hand good or bad. Pls advice. No big mistakes seen from villain so far - which makes my calls more questionable. $15.00/$30.00 No Limit Holdem • 2 Players Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converter BBVillain$1020.00 BTNHero$1980.00 Effective Stacks: 34bb Pre-Flop ($45.00, 2 players) Hero is BTN Hero raises to $60.00, Villain calls $30.00 Flop ($120.00, 2 players) Villain checks, Hero bets $90.00, Villain raises to $180.00, Hero calls $90.00 Turn ($480.00, 2 players) Villain bets $210.00, Hero calls $210.00 River ($900.00, 2 players) Villain goes all-in $570.00, Hero calls $570.00 Final Pot: $2040.00 Villain shows Hero shows Hero wins $2040.00 ( won +$1020.00 ) Villain lost -$1020.00
i like it.
It looks like a good call to me. A lot of hands that were beating you got counterfeited on the river.

I would play it the same
I would probably fold on the turn, given he min ch-raised on the flop and haven't been making big mistakes up to this point. I'm expecting his range to be two pairs, sets and 10x kind of hands, and we don't fare too well against this range.Is this thought process to nitty?
I had two main reasons for not folding the turn:1. In my experience at this limit a large percentage of players will not raise this flop with a two pair or better for value. they like to wait one street.2. His Turn betsize. IF he raises the flop with a really strong hand, then most likely he will follow with a much bigger bet once I called the flop I am much more willing to fold against passive opponents when they minraise me on the turn
Don't give your villains too much credit in these situations as well if you've only played them for 10-15 minutes. It's more likely players get frustrated as the blinds increase and/or their stack decreases (in this situation both) rather than stay disciplined.I would even think about a flop reraise for value here, but the other best choice is your line and I don't believe folding any street here would be close to your line or a flop reraise generally (with pretty specific reads that could change).
Seems like an easy call vs most villains. He's really not representing anything likely and you're getting good pot odds.

22, 88, KT, maybe AT given stacks (the K might not scare him enough given the pot is large and remaining stacks small, especially if he takes a bit of time to decide). However, those hands are too limited vs an unknown to consider folding.
