was this a good fold or to tight should i just stack off with TPTK in this spot?

Thanks Jacob.

I'd make this fold as well, I don't know what exactly he's playing like this except maybe JJ or QQ, but 15/12 is pretty tight and I don't expect this type of player to ever do this without having you crushed.

I guess the question is whether you think the villain was floating here. However, I agree that there are too many hands in his range that beat you at this point. A fold is best, but I am not happy about it.

LOL nor was I.....

I think it's a good fold. If his range is about 88-QQ you have only 23% equity. Against 88-QQ and AQs range you have 27%.

thanks for the feed back guys

good fold

id check here to rep hands that are giving up and snap river bets

Wouldn't you be betting that Q,K high card on the turn a lot with air ? I mean not sure if we need to balance against this guy but still...

really good fold-I'm impressed with your dicipline. It's an interesting spot, indeed. There are few players who can take this line with 88/TT. I really doubt he is flatting your 3bet with AJ (however it's a little too small-make it $3.00 OOP). At the same time, there are 0 9's in his range, and QJ is very unlikely. That leaves JJ+/AK/AQ. AK would probably have to have a sick read on you to make this play profitably, and I don't expect 15/12's to be exploiting tendencies and making moves post flop. AQ MIGHT be in his range, but I'm not certain how he plays post flop, so he might even fold the flop if he's weak/tight. That makes JJ+ the majority of his range. We are way behind, and have to be good more than 50% of the time to make our call profitable. It's a fold...just be glad you didn't ch/C and cry pot odds on a blank river!

Thanks for the feed back you have been a great help

if he can have KQ/QT folding is really bad

by my calcs you need 28% to call. here's a range that only includes a few combos of hands that we lose to (QTcc, QTss, KQcc, KQss):

Board: 9d 9h Jc Qd
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 24.716% 23.72% 00.99% 167 7.00 { AhQh }
Hand 1: 75.284% 74.29% 00.99% 523 7.00 { KK-JJ, 99, KQs, QTs+ }


any hand that is willing to continue is probably going to shove, so i think giving him just QQ/JJ is way too tight. also we only have 55 hands on the guy so assuming he's a huge nit is probably a mistake. its pretty close but i am calling here. i didn't include a single combo of KQ/QT/AQ offsuit and i did include all 6 combos of KK, so if you start adding those offsuit floats with draws our equity gets a lot better.

edit: i just realized he cold called making this hand a bit trickier and removing some possibility of offsuit hands, but i still think i would get it in. people do weird stuff.

As an unknown player and only having 55 hands would your standard to give the player credit if you havent seen him get out of line, or just think he is bad untill he shows you outherwise?

Thanks Jacob
