I fold this pf and bet the river every time (at 3/6). Is the pf call that straightforward?

Thinking about his a bit more, I realized I'd probably cap TT every time. It doesn't seem like this is consistent at all. Help?

Playing 5/10, I'd be inclined to fold this too, absent a good read. Is this an easier call at 10/20? Or is it an easy call - without a read - even at 5/10?

I think so. Most likely you're getting 5-1 preflop. Even if you just check-fold every time you don't flop an overpair or a set you will make a profit here.

So you think that, from the bb, it's worth calling 2 bets with any pair? I'm not challenging you, just want to be clear.

Also, don't we need to be concerned about the possibility that utg will cap?

if you can't bet the river, you should fold preflop.

bet the river. He is calling you with AQ-AK a lot here and i think he has them a lot here. If you check, he should be check ing behind with these holdings as well

Inspired by bdk3clash I decided to take a shot tonight at $10/20. This is literally my first ever Party $10/20 6-max hand.

I did watch a few orbits so my only read is that button is slightly loose and aggressive but not a total LAG as far as I could tell.

Thoughts?

As soon as I checked I kicked myself for not betting. I agree with what everyone is saying here. Anyway, Button had K9s and, to nobody's surprise, MHIG.

As others have said, bet. He definitely doesn't have a 3, and the way, he's played it, you are almost certainly good.
