Hi, recently ive been looking at my game on what boards to attack oop, in the past ive just check cold here and folded most turns to a 2nd barrel. Is this a ideal spot where we can attack this board?
Villians stats - 22/14 af 6 cbet 67% steal 39% cb - fold 55% over 1.5k hands - Apologies i have no notes on him after 1.5k hands - note taking is something i need to improve on!!

I think u can call w this hand; u can hit top2/wrap/bdfd which are easy to play ott. If u had J449 ( for some reason) than i d cr more

Yea i think calling is the most low variance play, but its hard for villain to connect with this board, there is a number of turns which we can DB w/ decent eq.

What does raising achieve here? You said it doesn't connect with his range at all, so if you raise he's going to fold his air and continue with his better hands (can't think of any draw he can have here). You could attack and you probably could get him to fold, but he's never folding a better hand and there aren't a huge amount of turn cards you really don't like. I much prefer flatting. Maybe if you had a weaker J you'd consider raising as you have to give up on a lot of turns, but you turn a lot of equity with cards his range connects with, and if you don't connect with the card at all, I doubt he does either.

Cards we like: Any spade, Q,J,T,K,9,8
Cards we don't mind: 2,3,4,5,6,7 not spades (doesn't connect very much with his tight range, unless he has like 6789 5678 sort of hand which is pretty specific) As (most likely connects with him but we do pick up equity, gives us good implied odds w/nfd+gutter, especially still quite a high SPR)
Cards we don't like: AhAdAc
So we have 3 outs to really dislike our hand. No need for a protection/bluff raise imo, keep his air in the pot :)

Also, would seriously recommend starting to take notes more. Having no notes after 1.5k hands is a big leak. If you're struggling to do it during sessions because you're playing a few tables and don't want to lose track of action, you can do it on PT/HEM as part of post session review (which is what I do). I usually take 30 mins either before or after a session to go through all my tagged and WTSD hands and try and extract a note from all of them, noticed significant increases in winrate from it. If you need note taking advice (at first its surprisingly difficult, hard to know whats worth taking a note of) I'm sure posting here would be of use, I'd be happy to talk about it as I'm sure some of the more qualified/experienced posters than me (most of the site!) would be :)

I think boards you can attack vary from your position and the position of villain,

In this respect i'd say this board is close to a split between co and bb, there is not much of an advantage postflop (range wise) for either of you here and therefore the advantage would normally go to the in position player.

In regards to boards I would want to attack 85J type boards vs UTG raises. 378, them type of boards.

Super dry boards like this, tight players are a lot more inclined to GII with overpair and flush draw which they have a lot more than you in this spot. (100bb eff)

I prefer calling these dry boards. Could mix in donking turns in to your game with your x/call range on flops. Could be an effective strategy.
