Villian was 56/28 over 37 hands. What's the move on the turn. I don't think he was capping light FWIW. If you want to fold the turn, tell me how many outs I have.

I would call. You most likely get 2 BB on the river if you hit your straight and you should call if you hit an ace. He could easily have an overpair other than AA here. I'd say you have 5-5.5 outs on average with solid implied odds.

Edit: I'm pretty confident your implied odds if you hit a straight on the river are somewhere around +1.5 BB. If you hit an ace, it's probably around neutral, possibly slightly negative or positive...we'd have to do a Bayesian analysis of the hands he caps preflop, bets flop, turn and river with to see how an ace hits him on average. He's almost never folding though.

fold preflop. a9 is the lowest i would go. but i proly would wait for more specifics or more than 35 hands.

Re: Turn decision...
 

I would fold preflop as well. I open-raise pretty liberally from the CO and A7o still does not play well against my range of hands.

The turn is a fold, too. You certainly have 4 gutshot outs, but your A and 7 outs don't look good. I'd give you .5 - 1 for each giving you about 5 - 5.5 outs which is insufficient.

folding preflop would be a bad idea against this type of opponent.

Hands and % of time I'd guess they'd cap it, combinations of that hand and your outs against it...
AA - 90% , 3 , 4
KK - 95% , 6 , 7
QQ - 95% , 6 , 7
JJ - 80% , 6 , 7
TT - 50% , 3 , 4
AKs - 85% , 3 , 7
AKo - 75% , 9 , 7
AQs - 50% , 3 , 7
AQo - 30% , 9 , 7

Calculating this all out gives you about 6.8 outs. I clearly wasn't thinking in discounting your pair outs so heavily. Looks like a call on the turn.

equity (%) win (%) / tie (%)

Hand 1: 52.6253 % [ 00.49 00.04 ] { AA-44, AKs-A2s, KQs-K5s, QJs-Q7s, JTs-J8s, T9s, AKo-A5o, KQo-K8o, QJo-Q9o, JTo-J9o }
Hand 2: 47.3747 % [ 00.44 00.04 ] { Ac7d }

CO's range of hands includes 31% of hands. That's enough for me to fold.

Re: Turn decision...
 

my contention is that 37 hands is not enough to label this opponent as this kind of opponent.

Excellent analysis. In the real hand I called the turn, spiked an ace on the winner, called a river bet and won against QQ.
