How do you fell about Bet/Folding river with the J9 hand Blind vs Blind?

I like it because for the following reasons:

1. Villian is passiv, so he might check alot of 10s behind and even things like 99 or 77 which he might hero call with.
2. Since Villian is passiv i like the bet/fold line even more, since we are dictating the amount on river, and he is NEVER showing air. So i would bet around 65$ on river.

exactly what i was thinking too.

he really doesn`t have too many better hands in his range but he`s got lots of bluffcatchers.
since he`s passive we usually can`t expect him to bluff so i think vbet low > c/call
he won`t ever bluff raise our riverbet i assume Wink

Ive looked at the math on hand 1 with 77 - assuming BB calling range is AK , JJ+ and the utg folds, the BB sqzer would have to fold 50% for us to breakeven - JJ+ ,AK = 3% or 40 combos so we would want villain to have wider than 6% sqz range or more than 80 combos

If he decides to get in a bit lighter - TT + , AQ our equity improves so we would need less FE but if we decide to shove AQ vs JJ+ , AK we would need even more FE.

This is all without even looking at utg - if he is someone who will call the shove with 99 then i guess we are in worse shape

b/f looks close, but we don't have the correct equity to valuebet. his range for calling/raising (and I made him to be a calling station):

Board: Td 8d 4s 8c Jc
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 46.226% 45.28% 00.94% 48 1.00 { Js9c }
Hand 1: 53.774% 52.83% 00.94% 56 1.00 { TT, 88, 44, AdJd, ATs, A8s, KdJd, KTs, K8s, QTs+, Qd9d, Q8s, J8s+, T7s+, 97s+, 86s+, ATo, A8o, KTo, QTo, JTo, T8o+, 98o, 87o }

If you just take a few Tx combos out of his range it becomes worse:

Board: Td 8d 4s 8c Jc
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 39.785% 38.71% 01.08% 36 1.00 { Js9c }
Hand 1: 60.215% 59.14% 01.08% 55 1.00 { TT, 88, 44, AdJd, ATs, A8s, KdJd, KTs, K8s, QTs+, Q8s, J8s+, T8s, 97s+, 86s+, ATo, A8o, KTo, QTo, JTo, T8o, 98o, 87o }

So, because we can't valuebet the river, b/f doesn't really is an option for us.

You are right that if villain is passiv he will check back a lot of his Tx and he won't bluff us on the river. But the correct conclusion is that because we can't valuebet and he is never bluffing our only option is to c/f the river.

I think a lot of 8x type hands will 3bet or fold preflop (dunno if he 3bet TT bvb). I expect him to fastplay set/trips some % of the time even if he's passive. Most of the draws missed so I think we will get called a lot here by Tx/99. I would only c/f if I have a read that he is really weak and passive.

I understand the point that you fold to a Js more than a Td, but if he knows a T is a bad card to barrel, then isn't it OK to fold to either the J or the T?

What do you think him knowing a T is a bad card to barrel means for his thought process when the Js shows up?

What if he the guy with the weird name had raised you on the flop? I'm struggling a little bit with the right play in this scenario. Maybe we should just fold to a raise because there are some better diamond draws or Ax with an diamond, sets like 88, 44. Probably not TT, he may 3bet it preflop. Could you please tell me if my thought process is right? Smile

yes you are right there. if he raises us on the flop we only have 6 clear outs against his range.but one other important thing we need to consider is that we play the hand OOP. if we were in position we could call (just to make it clear: I don't say we should!^^) and look what he does and maybe win the pot if he gives up, but OOP he can just 2nd/triple barrel with his bluff and we have to fold way to often.

What would be the worst pocket pair you would call here, TT?
