Is this ok once in a while?

Villain is 22/18/9 over 800 hands. Very aggressive.

I personally don't like this play much. You're chasing an inside straight draw on the flop which is -EV.

Your semi-bluff may have worked but i wouldn't expect it to very often.

I don't even have a gutshot on the flop. I made the call because the villain has a wide raising range PF and is very aggro postflop, so my hand might have been good.

Folding the flop is weaksauce. I don't mind the turn too much tbh vs a really agressive opponent. He has to have a pretty big hand to call here. It might make it worse because of the fact he potted the turn, not many people tend to pot streets without good hands. Just a thought.

[Chubbers]

Oops sorry i misread the flop. But i think you answered your own question when you say 'villain has a wide raising range PF'.

It's safer playing these for set value. Your draw now is really slim which means you should either re-raise the flop (to around $40) if you think he is just putting in a standard cbet and may have missed the board or fold.

Calling here to me isn't the right option because what do you do if a A or K comes on the turn?

[beardedwhale]

If he's thinking, he probably put me on T9s or a pair PF and then 2 pair or a set after going all in on the turn. At least, that was my guess.

I think you aught to raise the flop up to around 35 or so--if the idea of an all-in bluff on the turn has crossed your mind, you need to establish more of a presence on the flop and also gather more information.
