I hate this situation so so much...

    Default I hate this situation so so much...

    Opp stats are only over 10 hands but from the 80/0/.3 stats I assume he is loose preflop but not sure about postflop...

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($109.35)
    Hero ($221.40)
    UTG ($106.22)
    MP ($99.60)
    CO ($205.53)
    Button ($104.15)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 7, 8. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
    UTG calls $1, 1 fold, CO calls $1, Button calls $1, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($5) 7, 8, T (5 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $4, UTG raises to $15, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, Hero???

    I take a card for the redraw to a boat, but try not to go broke here, it IS an unraised pot

    I would fold, the pot is tiny and you would have to look really hard to find a hand that you beat here. If he is playing over aggressively then his money is still on the table and im sure youll get a crack at it.
    Me? I always tell the truth.

    Even when I lie.

    I think either you're beat and have 4 outs or else he limped with AA/KK and thinks he has the nuts. I wouldn't lose any sleep over folding this.

    Villain shows JT, QT, KT? I think you beat the hell out of an 80/3s range here.

    Your loosing, lolololololololololol
    I like Gabe's line here--call and lead. With the amount of draws on the board, folding here seems super weak-tight.

    Is this stop n go a frequent play with decent TPTK and low two pair hands? If you're raised on the turn again you let it go?

    How much are you leading here, 1/2, 3/4, or full pot?

    if you do lead the turn lead it 3/4 at least, if im villain a smaller lead might look like a draw to me (not saying that is a good play, but i see it frequently) and get reraised. I feel this is a situation where i might rereraise the flop to see where i stand and see what he does. I f he instacalls i might put him on an overpair and if he pushed you know youre beat.

    However, if he calls only you might be in trouble, same if he calls your lead on the turn, as the pot will be sizable and you are in trouble. Without any information on the opponent (ten hands tell you nothing) i would fold and not worry about it. If he is a good player you made the right laydown. If he is overplaying his hands it will become obvious and should be easy to trap him later on.

    In the end tho, if you stack off with bottom two with a connecting board youre going to be kicking yourself for not getting away from it with 4 dollars invested.

    I either fold or rereraise the flop. Then again ive had a awful month so maybe i dont know what im talking about. I just dont like playing bottom two against an unknown oop when you know a big pot is coming.

    this is exactly the reason i'm folding. Opp. Playing 80% percent of his hands could have almost anything here including the obvious made hand or a very strong draw in which case you don't really want to see any more cards. In addition this is a very passive player suddenly reraising... not good.
    Of course this is all based on 10 hands, personally i would get out in such a marginal situation with no reads.

    An 80/3 isn't going to try and blow you off your hand when he flops hard.

    10 hands in PT is beyond meaningless. In a vacuum, this raise is so often a draw of some sort--I can see the argument for folding w/out more info, but my personal taste is calling this raise and making a boat on the turn.
