Straight OTR

Straight OTR

Villain was between reg and fish, wider gap than usual between vpip and pfr. Not much more info.
Do I have to call for such a good price if there is even the slightest chance he can have JJ here. Maybe even 55 or 22 that didn’t raise flop?
I think all these hands are extremely unlikely besides maybe JJ but still..

uncle you have the second nuts


Maybe I’m way overthinking this.
But I just don’t see a player like this do this with anything besides AT.

But yeah call probably best for 17bb more if there’s a chance he has set


Unlikely he has 22 if we're assuming they're raising flop or JJ if that's 3-betting pre (but not impossible of course as Villain might just be taking different lines with these hands)

55 possible if they're procedurally checking when hits? Makes more sense to continue with JJ in this case than 55 on the flop, but not totally unreasonable I suppose as they're getting good odds with CO calling the flop bet.

Is a player like this calling AT non-suited, or just suited in the BB?

They're not bluffing, that's for sure. You have some value that beats their value, and you also block some of their value that beats your hand. The investment isn't much so I think we can call expecting to either:

  • hope we run into trips
  • laugh and say "sucks to suck" when we call and they turn over AT
  • breathe a sigh of relief when we think we're losing to a straight and Villain turns over T9 as we realise that there are indeed some chop opportunities

Think we call
