I'm thinking I'm betting and folding to a raise, but how do I size a bet I plan to abandon? It has to be the same 3/4 psb I'd make with a good hand, yes? I picked $2, and I'm folding to ANY checkraise, right?

Or is it simpler to check behind and pray this aggressive opp doesn't bet the turn, with me wondering if it's a failed c/r or an induced bluff?

bet and i probably call a shove from this villain. his range is wide and he could easily shove a draw as well as TP as well as a worse overpair.

Bet $2. Call a raise. Come on, a flushboard comes up and you give it up? Noway you are gonna fold!

Only plausible hands are AQs and AKs and possibly he's hit his set. But thats a big minority of the range he has preflop!

Just call a C/R and reevaluate the turn. Check if checked to, if betted to it depends on the amount.

whoa whoa whoa, at this limit I would almost never fold to a shove. I've seen people push all-in with flush draws so often that it almost makes me want to instacall. If you bet around $2 and he does something suspicious like raise to $6, then he's probably enticing a call with a made hand. Honestly, I think other overpairs 99-KK potentially shove here too, making it a profitable call.

maybe I'm dumb, but I've lost a ton of money at this level calling raises with top pair or an overpair.

And if there's two checkraises in a session, it's a surprise. This guy isn't so aggro that I think he checkraises with less than a set. But then again, it nags me that everybody slowplays hands like that (ie, chck/call flop, c/r turn or river instead).

Am I just a predictable fit/fold type that's easy to exploit?

I'd shove but that's just me.

Bet 3/4 to potsize and call a shove. Villains range is soooooo wide.
