10 NL finally learning to fold?

Hero (BTN): 118.1 BB
SB: 94.4 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 2)
BB: 111.1 BB (VPIP: 15.42, PFR: 9.81, 3Bet Preflop: 4.44, Hands: 218)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Kh Jh
fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 2.4 BB, SB calls 1.9 BB, BB raises to 14.6 BB, Hero calls 12.2 BB, fold

Flop : (31.6 BB, 2 players) 3c 9h Jc
BB bets 15.8 BB, Hero calls 15.8 BB

Turn : (63.2 BB, 2 players) 7d
BB bets 80.7 BB and is all-in, fold

BB wins 59.6 BB

My thoughts: Okay, maybe it is even a fold pre-flop against a 4% 3bet rate but SB is a fish which I was hoping to lure in. But turn fold is I think very good. I haven't checked solver, I would guess it's a call. But not here because this player type has zero bluffs in this spot and value is most probably not a weaker J.

Preflop seems like an easy fold versus a pretty big squeeze from a nit. I imagine it's a pure call in theory but this player probably doesn't even have TT or QJs in their range.

I believe calling turn would be burning money, although sometimes they don't know what to do with their AK and spazz shove (see the hand below I played 2 days ago, villain also has a 4% 3bet stat). But it's an overpair far too often.

Opening 67s for me is table dependent but can be a small part of my range for board coverage.

Not sure how I feel vs the 3b as we’re rarely hitting monsters and will have minimal show down value versus a narrow premium heavy range. Seems like one of those spots we’ve leaking a bunch of money by flatting pre and folding flop over and over.

I’d be more inclined to have this holding in later positions where the dynamics will be different and playing against a more diluted range.


It is a slightly overpunted line but the preflop read is reasonable
