n example which has troubled me recently:

eff. stacks $400 (2/4NL) 6-max. std. table.

MP/UTG+1 (regular TAG/SLAG) raises to $14 > BTN just calls > and I complete with J10s in BB.

flop: 3910r

so i'm thinking, "okay, TP, but i still don't reeeally know where i'm at with 2 left to act".

as i said, what do you typically do if the PFR raises to, say, a hundy? is he bluff-raising because he knows i'm donk-betting with a weakish-made hand? or, does he really have a hand?

The example would be much more interesting if the pot were HU to the flop, here I think you have a pretty clear fold.

Yeah, probably right. Let's turn this hand into HU. Again, here it is (revised):

eff. stacks $400 (2/4NL) 6-max. std. table.

MP/UTG+1 (regular TAG/SLAG) raises to $14 > and I complete with J10s in BB.

flop: 3910r > i decide to lead for $30 >

(a) PFR raises to a hundy....
(b) PFR flat calls....

(a) Hero????
(b) turn card: insignifant 5 > Hero????

a note about (b): you have to bear in mind there aren't a lot of non-scary cards that could come where you could convince yourself to continue betting. I see a 2, 4, 5 as the only real non-scary cards. anyways, for the sake of argument...go with the above...
