    Default Role reversal

    Villain (me) hasn't been at the table very long but has taken down a few small pots raising from the button and folded to a reraise preflop in the SB once. Seems fairly tight. What does Hero do?

    Full Tilt Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
    5 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $38.25
    Villain: $55.45
    Hero: $47.25
    SB: $37.80
    BB: $51

    Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is Button with K K
    UTG folds, Villain calls, Hero raises to $2, SB calls, BB folds, Villain calls.

    Flop: 9 7 7 ($6.5, 3 players)
    SB checks, Villain checks, Hero bets $4, SB folds, Villain calls.

    Turn: J ($14.5, 2 players)
    Villain checks, Hero bets $6, Villain raises to $18, Hero ???

    I'm inclined to fold, checkcall flop and checkraise turn by a tight player beats an overpair most of the time. With the limp prf a lot of hands are likely: T8, 67, 78, 79 etc.

    Edit: didnt see that you bet so small on the turn - why did you do that? Villain might try to push you around here sensing weakness when seeing your weak turn bet, though I'm probably still folding here.

    Downswinging holla!
    I would bet much bigger on the turn, somewhere near $10-15 and fold to a raise. By betting so small he could easily be raising a draw putting you on AK. I think a fold here is fine, or call his raise and fold to another bet on the river.

    Call or reraise. This is a steal or they have a strong draw or a jack or another PP. I think you (they) are still good.
