Blinds 50/100

UTG $9710 raises to 262 - his second raise of the tourney. HEM Says 63 hands, VPIP 10% Raised 5%
Me $7198 calls with  jd jc - I don"t know why I didn"t raise here. Possibly because the HEM stats slowed me down?
button and blinds fold

Pot 674
Flop  :2h: td kd

UTG checks
I check behind, again I don"t know why I did this. I gave UTG such a tight range for his raise UTG and yet, without the stats from the HUD I"d for sure be betting here. I"d bet it live without a strong live tell or knowledge

Turn  6d
again check check - I"m still paralysed by the fear that I"m going to get check raised or some such and loathing my life on a board that I really ought to be more than happy with

River  7h

UTG bets 674 - half pot...

I"ve butchered this completely thus far but I have to call don"t I?



ID for UTG may influence responses so is withheld for now. I didn"t know him/her nor have any history to refer to.

AMRN:
Despite your lack of historic info, you still have something to help put together a range for him....   Given he has played tight thus far, you can probably discount AJ/KQ/QJ type marginal hands for an UTG raise.  You can certainly include TT+.  His small raise may also be his way of entering a pot in EP with a small pair - some people won"t open limp in any circumstance.

So - he checked the K hi flop, but might be trapping with AK/AA. Would he really check again on the turn, particularly as the board got wetter.... surely time for a bet to make you pay for any diamond draw you may have?  So, possibly discount AK/AA.    So that leaves all small pairs, and QQ.  If he had hit a set, is he really likely to check it twice - particularly with the diamond on the turn? I would discount a set for same reason as I discount AA/AK.

That means his range could be as narrow as QQ or a small pair that has not improved.

Also, you"re hand is hugely under-represented. Easy call.

Pre is fine, flop is ok. I"d bet the turn though and not sure you can do anything but call now

thinsy147:
Don"t think of it as played badly... More just played differently!!!  ::)

Easy call, if you lose you can be thankful you got away cheaply. If you win you can use this info to collet more chips in the future!!

Although, I think you are winning!

PHIL_TC:
Wish I didnt already know the answer here, but definitely calling the river, would have raised pre for sure though.. and I suspect you would normally Dave regardless of HEM stats x
