I personally don't like this. There are much better spots/easier ways to make money at the micros. That being said, if you 3bet pf I follow this up with a cbet. I wouldn't be surprised if he looks you up on the turn the way you've played this hand.

Re-raise more pre-flop to reduce pot odds.

Either bet flop or check-raise to continue your line and stay aggressive - as played you have turned over control of the pot to your opponent. It's either fold or raise once he bets the flop.

Turn is an easy fold. Looks like he has a made hand, and I really can't see him folding to a push here.

I like a light 3-bet from time to time against a very aggressive opponent. But you are mainly hoping that your opponent folds pre-flop. On the flop, I think calling a bet is out of the question. It's bet or raise if you want to continue the line, but I also like a check/fold in a lot of cases.

Getting under your skin and getting you to play back at the wrong time is this guy's job. You are behind on the turn.

just wait for a better opportunity!

Those stats don't say "he is trying to run over the table".


Fold pre-flop.

Jesus just stop.

You have 2nd pair in a reraised pot and you're like never good here. Wait for tp and valuetown him.

Not betting the flop here just screams "I made a preflop play because I'm pissed"
