Beginner Limit Hold'em Poker Forums

hey again
posting whole hand as I have two questions

This villain is a 26/11/0.0/1.0 over 47 hands only had 4big bets at the beggining of the hand

PokerStars, .25/.5 6 players
Same table as before, no new notes, seems to be tightening up though.

dealt to hero J J
1 fold, MP raises 1 fold, hero 3bets2 folds, MP calls

flop (pot $1.85) 2 8 Q
MP checks hero bets MP calls

Turn (pot $2.35) K
Mp checks, Hero checks

River (pot $2.35) A
MP bets BTN folds

whats the opinions for checked behind on the turn? I do it as standard here but I think a b/f may be a better option. I folded the river as all the hands I could see the villian continuing with has come in by the river.

I would just Bet/Call the turn. Players with about 2 big bets will basically go all in with just about any pair or any type of draw in this spot on the turn. I think we miss too much value by checking back.

Yep, 100% agree, and he's going to have a ton of draws in his range here. I'd bet here pretty much all the time, but definitely against a 2BB stack. Keep in mind just how many combinations of pocket pairs, JT, J9, T9, 8x, and draws he can have here - not betting the turn is lighting money on fire.
