I think its a folds vs vs a 16/14's flatting range here, he probably has all combos of TT/QQ some of AQ/AA. Even if you add AK and some Ax suited hands its still looks ugly equity wise. He would have to be bluffing a decent % with pocket pairs which seems extremely unlikely at 50nl without history, and obviously wouldn't be a great board to do it on.

Cheers sedds, so you're advocating a fold on the flop?

[rfgqqabc]

In FR I'm folding somewhere, not sure where but definitely somewhere. Prob river when we can remove AK etc imo. This is presuming a reg woudnt vb AK on the river, not qualified to comment there really.

[sedds]

np, yeah i think his flatting range here is going to be very tight, and the board really hits your perceived range so even if he did have some FDs/bluffable hands i don't think he would raise them in this spot. Combo wise we do block TT and AA and he may not flat KJ pre (though that would mean he doesn't flat QT either), but i think even though he doesn't rep that many hands, i think his bluff frequency is going to be extremely low.

Yeah i guess AK isn't impossible, though i think it would bad vs on this board vs anyone decent.

I'm going to say its a call on the flop, a call on the turn, and a fold on the river...

I just don't see him having anything worse when he raises+triples too often.  There just aren't enough   type combos to make it ok imo.

He definitely seems nittier than most, I'd be tempted to peel this river the 'first' time.... mainly to understand what kind of reg he is (with the possibility we're good here some %)  Obviously on the tighter side of life.



also - possibly fold pre... this would be the ultimate bottom of my opening range for value with Ahigh..

[sedds]

Even with an really optimistic range including some suited aces/AK and bluffs with KK/JJ our equity is still only about 50%. Though i think his range is much stronger than that. Any sort of pure bluff seems really unlikely in a FR game at 50nl in early positions, especially on a board that smashes an EP range. Vs a wider flatting range that includes more QJ/JT decent bluffing hands I would be more inclined to call down, but villain is probably multitabling/mass tabling and isn't going to be flatting much more than PPs/strong aces or planning to get out of line

This, he just has QQ...

play 6max imo.

Also 16/14/5 for FR isn't tight at all if anything its on the loose side.

I've got 5k hands on him...he's fairly straight forward but decent enough reg.

play 6max imo.

Lol why do you say that?

Think sedds has pretty much nailed this hand tbh, cheers mate.

[shipitonetime]

play 6max imo.

What are your stats shipitholla?

[ShipItHollaBallaaa]

Only 24/18/5

I dont really like playing too loose tbh.

[JustinSayne]

Fold flop, its nitring and everyone has it.

[jgcblack]

play 6max imo.

Definitely play 6max and sack off the nitring games.

They're a joke.
