A bad player with low aggression - and u think he is suddenly aggressively bluffing?
What are his showdown stats??
If he is a typical loose fish i think u are beat - or at the very least u will have better opportunities to take his money more safely

Instant fold.

[/ QUOTE ]Im not sure about an instant fold,this is a missed draw alot.I agree that its a fold most of the time but it can be a very hard read.Having said all that i fold,but its def not ever an instant fold for me at least.

I think you need a better read here than just probably a bad loose player. I don't think many loose passive players are going to overbet shove a missed draw here.

Your big flop bet made it impossible for you to bet the turn without committing yourself. And now you've repped whiffed 100% (big flop bet to rep strength and then shut down).

Re: A light call down good for the soul?
 

Calling an overbet from a player who's most likely not capable of shoving missed draws is an instant fold for me. I rather find a better spot to take his stack (read: value bet himn to death).

Re: A light call down good for the soul?
 

Bet less on the flop. On the river I would be more inclined to call a psb, ime the oversized bets are more likely to be made when villain has been slowplaying and now want full value from his hand. Besides he seems passive. I think it's close, calling is fine but when making a decision like this I'm always looking at ftcb and bet riv % stats as well as they give a better idea of his bluffing frequency.

Betting less on this drawy flop against someone who is limping almost any two is just dumb to me,are we trying to give him odds to suck us out,thats the idea???I hate this thought process.

Look at the turn and see who you are criticizing.
