Villain is a 2+2er, though I don't know his sn here. I remember playing with him before, and he used to be nitty, but he's running at 30/24/1.9 over 300+ hands today. I've seen him make some very questionable plays. Some of them successful, some of them unsuccessful. I especially think he calls too much.

Though we were at the table together a lot today, I haven't played a ton of hands with him. However, I've reraised him twice before. In this first hand, I assume he was on the flush draw, cause no other hand makes any sense. I assume a pocket pair would've called my small value bet on the river.

In this second hand, I wimped out from betting because I knew he'd at least call me with a pocket pair on the flop, and I wasn't sure whether I had the guts to fire a big second barrel, despite having two overs+the nut flush draw+the gutshot.

On to the hand in question. Mostly concerned with flop and turn bet sizing, because stack sizes are super awkward.

Betting seems obvious. CRAI might commit him to the hand with some [censored] pocket pair, which I don't want, despite having 15 outs still.

(I have $37 left to work with).

With the 2 other hands with him I think open pushing turn is fine. Betting sligthly more on the flop would make it look less suspicious though.

H3: shove, he folds a lot of hands 33-TT

Hand 1: yeah, I guess. I was just trying to figure out wtf he called me with on the flop that could call a turn bet.

Hand 2: yeah, I know. Meh. I'm a wimp.

Hand 3: doesn't a shove look more suspicious than a bet of about $25 or so? He should know there's no way I'm folding anything after I bet that amount.
