Villain is the same as the other hand, seems bad/passive but capable of unpredictability

Turn call a good idea? Raise the flop or do something else fancy?

Online 10/20 Hold 'Em (6 max, 3 handed)

Hero is Button with A /images/graemlins/heart.gif 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Hero raises, SB folds, BB calls

Flop (4 SB) Q /images/graemlins/diamond.gif T /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
BB bets, Hero calls

Turn (3 BB) 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
BB bets, Hero calls

I agree assuming he has a pair, there ~20% chance he has a /images/graemlins/diamond.gif > 4. So your flush outs = about 7 add 2 more outs assuming your other Aces are clean and you are up to 9 outs. Even with implied odds, the call is not justified.

What if he could be making these bets with air, and he appears to give up bluffs on the river? Guess I'd have to know a percentage then...

I'm getting 4:1, if I have 9 outs, it would be a call...

Right, there is a chance you have the best hand right now.
But if he is betting with a lone /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, he has 15 outs to beat you.
Given this and the fact that the 9 outs is probably pretty generous, I would still fold.

You are right, I thought you were getting 3:1 immediate pot odds (duh!). I think the 9 outs is pretty generous, but combined with the chance you have the best hand it my swing it to a call - or maybe a raise free showdown play?

I'm open to suggestion /images/graemlins/wink.gif

He seemed quite bad, I just felt like I should try outplaying him somehow... but it's clearly pretty marginal as well
