Hey Guys,

Can I get your thoughts on this hand? I'm pretty much stuck with my thoughts on every street

Villain was 10/10 with a 4.0 aggression after 21 hands.

Pre: I feel this is a standard call vs a min open.

Flop - TBH I was looking to check fold here - Is this wrong? Is there an argument for a donk bet?

Turn - Decided to call as I felt villain could be betting any Ace, King.and not just with hands that had me beat.

River - My initial thoughts on the River were to check and get to showdown cheaply. I felt he would have checked back his one pair hands here. The part that throws me is the sizing, if he would have bet a bit smaller such as half pot I would have thought about calling but when he bets the pot here I'm sure he has me beat but also feel as I played this hand very passively does he just think a pot sized bet will win the pot without a showdown?

I feel you played the pot way to passive.

Start the mp minraised, and you're oop so 4/5x.

But you called so lets take it from here.
Flop is ok.
Turn both of you are very passive, you have 2 pair you might as well lead out you want to build the pot I'd say 0.18 here.If you're caught so be it but you do have a hand and he might be playing suited connector or pair. So the way this is played I think you're ahead.
River is a blank I don't see why you'd call the turn but fold the river, him betting the pot is a strange line on this board. If he has something and he wants you to stay in he would've bet less for value. This bet smells off weakness / bluff.

I think you give your opponent too much credit. Be more agressive!

Pre and flop are standard.

The turn call must be ok given we checked twice and villain can stab wide. There's also no guarantee villain will bet the river.

I'm folding the river though. A lot of villain's checking range on the flop will be hands such as KQ QJs, and we have no more than a bluff catcher but micro stakes players just don't bluff enough,especially full ring players.

Pre: I'm not overly familiar with 9 game dynamics but I would assume that flatting here vs that position opener is absolutely standard.

Flop: Leading here seems like a mistake so I like checking, if we get bet at we can probably peel once but I would not hate just check folding either.

Turn: Perfect, doing anything but check calling with 4 to a straight on board would be a mistake.

River: Pretty annoying spot when villain chooses this sizing. My gut says we are not going to be ahead here enough to make a call profitable so I like your fold.
