2/4 why do you keep betting, I am confused

I'd just fold the flop, even if you are ahead, it's going to be difficult to play this OOP.

I like a smaller bet on flop. It has about as much f/e, more against some players, as bigger bet.

But I'm not looking for fold equity; I'm ahead of his calling range here. Also I hate 3-betting the flop against anyone decent, I would only do it to induce a shove really.

Surprised at all the people who say to just fold the flop. It's hard enough for him to have a better hand here. If we're bet-folding then is that really better than checking?


Anyhow, I shoved the turn. Comments?

If I am calling the flop bet, i am folding to that scary ass turn bet. But vs. a player I haven't played with I don't think I am EVER calling that flop.

I like it. tight players are looking for any reason to fold on a low paired board, and your hand looks so strong here.
I think he has an 8(A8,98s,T8s, Q8s?) 55, 77 and maybe TT. All of which he will likely fold.

He basically never has any of these hands unless he's drunk or my 2p2 read is off. He may raise the flop with them some % of the time but he's going to check then behind on that turn card.

if i call the flop, which i could go either way on, i'd definitely do it with the intention of folding any turn.
