Top two vs. TAG two tone, but otherwise dry board

Well, because I'm OOP I can't flat his raise, can I? It just doesn't seem like he's ever going to stack off with worse because seeing as he is an NL50 tag he probably would always 3b QQ+ and dump 58 pre

I'm blowing his worse hands out of the pot and the only thing I'm getting it good against is a nut flush draw

but I don't have other options, do I?

There's the "call flop, donk turn" line that might get him to flip a spew bit and shove
but calling flop and checking turn - is that even possible to do OOP?

i would do what you did.

[AFchung]

i'd do the same. its not as dry as we'd like to play tricky on

Yeah 3bet, I'd 3bet IP as well on this board with this hand, expecting to get it in against all FD's and sets.

Against a spew monster I hand him the rope, but vs most villains just b/3b OOP.

what makes you think people raise/fold value hands on wet boards?
