Default Re: 50NL - odds to call, but should I repop?

Whether he's intending to or not, Villain is kind of representing a monster with his trappy line. And if he in fact has two pair or better, you probably have better implied odds than you think.

But maybe he's genuinely weak instead of just kind of pretending to be. In that case your implied odds suck unless you and Villain are sharing some "outs" (like, say, if he has 8h6h).

So that's the dilemma. If Villain is strong and won't fold, then popping the turn is horrible, but if he's weak, then, sure, why not pop it. I mean, if his hand is really marginal, you could have 18(!) outs. (And there is, of course, even some small chance you're currently ahead.)

Anyway, I probably would just call. Meanwhile, re-popping the flop with overs and a flush draw is also a consideration, but I don't think I'd do it versus a min-checkraise on this board.
