My image is probably regular whose a bit too loose 28/18 3bet7% (but was looser).
UTG player is 24/16 usually pretty tight reg, however today i know he is tilting he has said so in the chat and has made some terrible big calls out of position etc so i pretty much expect him to call pre and if i check take some sort of stab at the pot. My plan is to check raise him on the flop. Problem is he checks the so does the other player - other player is 22/15 AF2 been playing regularly multi tabling but i dont particularly rate him - seems unable to fold a hand.
When he calls preflop i put him on a low pocket pair or some sort low suited connector style hand.
My questions are:
Is my play on flop terrible should i just bet and define where i am? Is the river a straight forward call? - im almost certain im ahead on the turn as he would shove any better hand.
So question is does he have a J or has he missed a flush or straight?
I think my hand is face up as a big pair so is he really going to try and bluff me off it here? Also there are not too many flushes he can have with no showdown value i dont see him calling pre with kq and he 3 bets aq or ak so that only really leaves a flush draw like 89s, 810s which has no showdown value. A donut for anybody who guesses his hand

horrible check on the flop. the board texture is such that almost all hands villains can have are gonna check it back unless youre beat. plus when your opponents are tilting u dont wanna try to check raise them bc theyre more likely to call u down lite when u bet so just go ahead and bet with your strong hands.

you def had the best hand on the flop, and most likely on the turn...but im not really sure what youre trying to accomplish with your check raise. it just lets MP play perfectly and i think UTG wouldve bet a good jack like AJ, KJ on the flop so hes not really gonna pay u off.

i think that MP thinks that you might fold an over pair since this is one of the worst cards in the deck for you. even if he thinks u just have whiffed spades...if he has T-high hes not gonna check it down obv. youre only really worried about 86s and Jx and i think 86s shoves the turn most of the time.

he probably doesnt cold call a raise pre with KJo,QJo,JTo so that only leaves AJ (which he might also fold pre to ur RR and he will bet the flop some of the time), KJs, QJs and JTs...and even tho that sounds like a lot of hands there actually arent as many combos of those as you might think.

i would c-c river expecting to be good about 40-50% of the time. folding isnt horrible tho if u dont know ur opponent.

i dont like donuts so im not gonna try to guess his exact cards.
