NL 100 (6 max) - T9s

How would you guys play this hand?
Reads: Villain is 20/9 after 75. He seems like a beginner to the game. He has preflop down pretty good, but postflop he is pretty horrendous. His bet sizes are bad. He underbets alot. On C-bets, he was betting less than 1/2 pot alot, even when he had TPTK and there was a flush draw present. Also, him and other guy minraised each other 4 times on one street.

well i sure dont like the turn bet (make it 3/4-pot) and the river check unless you were 100% sure he'd take a stab at the pot.

lead river with a PSB.

fold preflop; i only play SC on the button for a raise. as played, flop check-raise is my standard play if i think button will cbet; turn I bet closer to $18 but that's a nitpick; river I block for $35 and fold to a push.

Really? I would never fold this here. Ya being out of position sucks, but I get a cheap look at the flop getting 4 to 1 assuming BB calls, which he will almost all the time.

Why do you block river for 35? Why are you folding to a push? I think a set is unlikely. He would most likely bet the flop or raise the turn. With a set, do you really think he would show 0 agression until the river?
Aren't his most likely holdings a weak K, A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]X, or Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]x

Pretty weak-tight, isn't it?

I don't like this, it's too hard to fold when he pushes with a boat.

No. These hands play like [censored] without position.

EDIT: Ignore. I'm still in donkey mode. I thought OP was on button.

You think villain pushes without a boat, if Hero leads the river? Lots of donks will call down with a set if you're leading into them, and raise the river.

Good advice. I'm giving 2.73 to 1 on a 4 to 1 shot, but he's probably not folding for 5 bucks more. Also, the bigger bet may increase the chance he attempts to buy the river with a busted flush draw when checked to.

Do I really have to be 100% sure? I only see a weak K, or the A or Q high flush draw in his range. I think I'm giving the K a chance to fold, and the flush draws are definitely folding for a pot sized bet. Are you hoping he had a hand with a 3 in it?
