Default Re: TP2K in 3bet pot (NL50)

Preflop is close, but not really the issue here.

Flop: There is no draw to be afraid of so there is no real reason to raise. This is a classic case of way ahead or way behind IMO. Raising gets air (AK, AQ etc) to fold and gets you pot committed vs. hands that have you beat (over pair, AT etc). There is no value in raising this hand. The question is are you willing to get it in here on the flop? If you are, then play the hand in such a way that will get the most money into the middle from his entire range. To me this means calling the flop in hopes that he second barrel bluffs the turn.

Back to the question of are you willing to get it in on the flop. As someone else pointed out, you probably shouldn't call preflop if you arent happy about this flop. As well, based on your "disturbance in the force" read, I would probably be looking to stack him. This would be best accomplished be calling the flop and jamming the turn.
