    the card you likely hit, which you bet, he still raised.
    stats would help a little i think, add to that he has at least a full buy in so i doubt hes too donkish and he limp/called.

    i think i can find a laydown here. he called the turn re-raise only getting 3:1 on his money, so you forced a mistake, but this looks like he made his draw.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    I think when i have called hands like this in the past i always ended up wanting to kick myself in the balls. thankfully i dont think that is possible. i'd usually fold unless i've seen villan make this bluff against other players.

    It confused me because it looked like a LAGtard bluff. The villian was 80% VPIP over 70 hands. I wanted to call so bad, but I folded. I guess he could have had anything. Does this change your opinions? I was getting 3 to 1 on the call?

    In unrelated news, 2 pair hands are killing me lately. KQ is also killing me lately. I may be gun shy.

    Raise flop. This is a nice play by villian. Since you raised PF and raised the A on the turn, he can safely put you off 2 hearts. So you can't call river.

    Villains 1/2 pot leads seem strange too. Seems kinda weak on a 2 heart board.

    I wonder if it's better to call turn? If he's truly a lag betting with air, he has to fold your turn raise... since he didn't he must have some kinda draw or hand.

    If this wasn't 50NL, I would be less inclined to give him credit for a flush.

    What do people think of raising that flop? I often will raise when somebody leads into me when I was the PFRer, is this a leak?

    Raising the flop is fine generally. I only think you lose value when he is a LAG and is willing to continue to bluff at the pot. If you show aggression, he may shut down. I had position so I smooth called the flop to let him continue to bluff at the pot on the turn. I tried to end the hand on the turn. Should I have raised more? He still had 3:1 on his turn call?

    He sees that you're strong, the all in makes too much sense for a flush. fold.
