    Default junky 2pr sorta deep...

    my image is sorta crap like aggro/bluffy here.

    UTG is 40/14 and seems pretty aggro post flop. he started the table with a half-buyin.
    earlier on i took a similar line, and he raised me pot like this, but i folded. he typed in the chat how he "knew i was bluffin"
    also, he played a monster hand fast earlier, overbetting the turn all in with a str8.

    what do u think?

    You're not beating much I think.. any sort of straight or set beats you.. even QT. If there is a lot of tangling and aggression I might expect to be decent vs his pair+draw (like QJ/KQ) here, but in normal situations I think I'm beat when he raises the PSB on the turn..

    I think your read is right that he plays his good hands fast.
    When he typed in that he knew you were bluffing, I seriously doubt it, he had a good hand but I've done the same (written that I knew villian was bluffing), to set-up exactly this type of situation later.
    He certainly expects & wants you to call after he told you he bluff raised you earlier, with exactly the same type of play.

    I'd bet 1/2 pot on the turn, folding to a raise. As played I definately fold.

    he wasn't bluffing last time. he probably isn't bluffing this time either. he thinks he's clever and has set you up.

    is his utg range tight? does his range connect heavily with that flop?

    would he raise AA and KK here? I think he would. but i also think he would raise a set, a straight, 2p or a big draw. he might also raise AQ or pair+draw hands.

    i think you should probably fold the turn. but i would hate it if he had AA or KK just played overly aggro.

    i think a checkraise on the flop is good. you're line on the turn is strange but it could really mess him up if he has a hand like TP. and maybe you did get him to commit a lot of money with a very weak hand. but probably not.

    i'm guessing you lost the hand

    ya i agree with what you've all said. i'm not in good shape even if AA/QJ etc is in his range when he raises my donk on the turn.

    pokerroomace- i think waiting for a safe turn is better, since it would suck if he pushes on me on that flop, or if the turn is one of a ton of bad cards.
