Are you ever semi bluffing or going all in here to take it down?

Against tight opens, this is a snap fold preflop.
Against loose aggro, this is a 3bet or fold.

Turn against this small turn, I might click it to 100, villian only jamming top of range here sets/2p+ which we comfortably folding.
On a blank turn sizing down, I take it as weakness.

If he flats, as long as board doesn't pair up, I might jam most river.

I’d wait for the river card. Turn raise just bloats the pot without real fold equity. We’re ahead of his bluffs and have plenty of clean outs to improve.

Jamming turn is somewhat appealing after such a weak turn bet from a guy who usually plays a much bigger game. I expect a lot of fold equity.

assuming turn puts out 3 to a straight, call turn and plan to bluff a lot of rivers. any 2, 4, 5, 7 turn is great for you because it gives you not only 9 flush outs but also 6 additional scary 4 card straight outs to bluff with. you could probably also overbet bluff a river 6.

Is V folding a pair? Probably not based on description. If we bet less than all in and face a shove that is a disaster, if we jam we are getting called by better, and the only worse that I can think we're going to get called by is maybe a smaller flush draw. Bet folding as suggested above is a disaster - we have a draw to the nuts and are getting a good price. We want to realize our equity.

So I would call because:

1: We have a sufficient price to try to realize our equity up front.

2: If we hit, this is the kind of V who might bet into us anyway with bluffs.

3: If we hit, this V might pay us off with a hand like to 2 pair.

4: If we miss, we have a hand hand that can win a check, check showdown a lot.

5: If we miss, K high might be an ok bluff catcher if we conclude V is over bluffing.

6: If we jam, we are getting called light and we are behind light. So we are taking a good price and making it into a bad price for us.

7: If we think V is OOL, we should put air in our range that has no SDV and fewer outs to raise turn. That way we can put up resistance, win with hands that have little equity and surrender little equity when we have to raise/fold. We don't want to be putting ourselves in a position where we have to make a bad call, or fold significant equity. Especially equity where it's really easy for us to play the river like a nut flush draw.

Probably a good squeeze spot preflop since your in position and you're really not flopping as well as you think even being suited and connected. As played I'd just call the turn - if he has an Ace I'm not really trying to get him to fold it, and if we brick the river we can throw out a bet to hopefully fold out everything but an Ace

Just flat call and bet river if he checks to you.

Yup. Exactly what I did. Bet 175 OTR and he called with A8os

what was the river card

Think Yamihere covered it well. If you wanted to raise, raise flop. Though I think relying on FE vs this V is just torching money. I don't mind overcalling with the button, even as I agree that KTs looks better than it plays. I imagine this is a pure 3! from bots.

Along with NOM, kinda' curious about the river card.
