I'd usually bet the flop around ~7 due to the multiple draws that are on the board, but yeah, he never has worse with this line.

looks fine. sometimes i bet the flop since it's drawy but I'm not sure if thats optimal.

Now that I got that over with, I don't get the 3-bet. There are a whole lotta ways you are beat here. If he's minraising some stupid draw, well, let him draw I guess.

Gotta fold to the 4-bet as played.

id be betting the flop

i dont get the small 3bet, i feel like hes either going to call and were going to hate life on like half or more rivers or hes going to 4bet and we are going to vomit.

Id probably call the turn raise and either c/c or b/f the river.

There are way more draws in his range than hands that are &gt; than 2 pair so the 3bet is fine.

But why is some random dude minraising a draw? And if he's minraising it he's probably shoving it and we can't call.

Seems like there are so many possible semi-bluffs as well as worse two pairs that can pay off, and that he probably rarely four bets with these hands.

As for betting the flop, sometimes I think it's fine and good, but I also think I get blown off my hand a fair amount, and don't really get value hardly ever from worse hands. At the same time, I have a chance to just duck out cheap if the action gets heavy before it gets back to me. I was planning on calling a bet if it looked like it would get HU one of the two remaining guys, since they probably can't help but bluff when checked to here.

As for the why, I have no idea, but I see crap like this enough that I certainly don't rule it out.

As for him 4betting with that same draw, I just don't see it, but this is my second day playing $1/$2 in forever, so I dunno.

Before the BUSTO OMG posts start, I withdrew a ton, didn't play for like a month, and I'm rebuilding a bankroll. So [censored] off.

Is your plan to b/f a blankish river?
