    Default Lots of History with Weak Overpair

    History :

    Villain is 24/18 tagg. C-bets every flop HU from what I’ve seen.

    I had called in position 3 times preflop.

    1st time I folded to his c-bet.

    2nd time I bluff-raised his c-bet on an an A high board and he folded.

    3rd time i called w 5d8d and flopped bottom 2 on 5c8cQs board. I raised again and he shoved 110bb's with KQo (I boated up on turn, gg...)

    My flop raise here was entirely for value since i think small PPs and draws... even overs might call.

    If this is close, where do you lean and why?

    yeti theorem ftw?

    I fold but im weirded out by it. I just assume opp is shoving AA/KK/A6/44 instead of playing it slow like everyone else.

    I fold, he knows you're capable of calling with crap preflop and he has no reason to think you're bluffing him with your history.

    Yeti theorem doesn't really work if there's a FD.

    that being said, this is close. this guy may push 77-99, maybe even 55. We also know that he's pushing JJ-AA. He definitely could have overcards and a FD. It's possible that he's bluffing with overs, 67 is slightly possible, and I doubt he has 44.

    I'm not sure i understand why you think overs are going to call your raise. Nothing in your history tells me that. I think in this spot, since i don't know if my opponent is willing to bluff here very much, i'm going to fold but i agree that it's close.

    i should have written that I thought he'd "raise" (about smaller PP's, overs etc...)

    Downswinging holla!
    I wouldn't raise the flop to fold to a shove, so I'd call now, but I'd likely just call the flop. Raising is ok though, but it does get you into shitty spots like this one.

    muck em say unnnhhh

    i dont like ur flop raise here cause this guy is playing sub-optimally against you cause he doesnt understand that lags dont just indiscriminately shove chips in the middle.

    i play this very passively with ur image... as in call, call, call/fold/vbet depending
    I got more flava than fruitstripe gum
