Don't get into the habit of telegraphing your hand strength by betting full pot on the turn here. I think 20-21 is probably a sufficient value bet. I think the turn is a fold vs this player and not really close.

Probably the worst hand he does this with is AxKd.

[Setzy]

He raises 5 percent of hands, which is basically like the top 10 hands (given this is a significant sample, you don't have # of hands posted with this particular opponent).

You were raised preflop from MP3 with ZERO limpers to 3.5BB (NOT 7 SETZY IS A DUMBASS). I would take the lesser of the top ten hands out of the equation, leaving pretty much JJ+, AK, AQ.

On a fairly nasty looking flop (especially if he raised something like QQ or KK), he bets out 2/3 pot. Appears to be pretty standard, and doesn't really stand out in the line. I like the call, and you definitely don't want to go broke with one pair and good kicker, you want to see more cards.

So the turn comes. It's a blessing and a curse. Completes flushes (which I DON'T think this particular opponent was on, very very outside chance of KJd or something, but I doubt it).

But he checks. You make a big bet, letting him know you aren't afraid of much. But then the hammer falls, and he pushes it all in. I cannot see this being any sort of bluff. I would be reasonably sure he had one of those high pocket pair sets given the action, (my guess is JJd or QQ), and did not want to let you see a river cheaply.

I'd drop this one, too much to call for two pair when you aren't ahead of a whole lot.

pretty sure this is 100NL

I fold PF & fold after push.

All I can say is that Its very hard decision. I generally
dont like to loose my stack with 2 pr though. Unless
I have strong reads opponent being maniac/fish.

[Ravageur]

I like a turn check here in position. He took the 'stackadonk' line and I really think a tag's range here based on his line is JJ, QQ or a flush.

At least you found out where you are, and now you can fold. The only hands that are calling that you beat is maybe AK and I think in that case he'd only call the turn.

[Genitruc]

Villain has a flush here like approximately 0% of the time

[Genitruc]

btw I like a check here as well. He almost never has AJ/A9. I'd rather protect my stack and give him a free draw to a flush w KdKx (which is also a possibility if villain is aggro postflop... unlikely though) than price myself in for a shitty decision if he is checkraising. Plus you get to draw to a boat vs JJ/QQ/(unlikely)99.

[Miffed22001]

pretty sure this is 100NL

I reraise or fold PF & raise on the flop with threat and check behind on the turn calling a reasonable river bet unless i boat up.

Fyp nit

fwiw, i think opp had JJ. Sucked out QQ or possibly AA also, but thats like one outer country

[Setzy]

[Office Space]

GOD DAMNIT I ALWAYS FUCK UP SOME MUNDANE DETAIL!

[/Office Space]

Either way I stand by my analysis, but change what I said to 3.5bb <-- 50NL donk :P

[TerryToma]

yeah i folded i put him JJ.
