    Default Weak manipulative bet sizing gets me in trouble

    opp is straight forward player. Reason for bet sizing: opp in the short time we've played has overplayed a lot of mediocore hands, huge raise sizes to protect vunerabilty. Since we are a little deep i want to induce that sort of raise.

    I do the same against certain villains who I know like to raise when they sense any weakness. So, in the case where I get them to go allin on the river with my weak bets, I always call. It was the plan for the hand so you gotta live with the results. In most cases, they are bluffing I've found.

    I think you guys are misinterpreting. First two streets were weak manipulative bet sizing. The only hands I really beat than a pure bluff is AK/AQ, which is way less likely than AT, A9,A5, some backdoored clubs. The only hand he's bluffing is something like J8 or QJ which is plausible but i dont think that likely. Yes, there are hands i beat but is it enough? I'm not just going to blindly snap call because i have two pair.
