middle pair on monotone board
 

this is some 215 tourney (i think 2nd chance, given stacks). no reads. villains line is very odd. i dont think he ever has any two pair, any set (except 5s), or a straight. villain could have flopped a flush or have a A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q type hand. he also could just be making a straight bluff or a semi bluff with just a lone A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. any suggestions?

Re: middle pair on monotone board
 

exactly, it would. that's why i think you should consider an alternate line, like leading the turn bigger, leading the flop, or c/c turn evaluate river.
