In Which GamingMouse fails to raise a turn blocking bet

[gaming_mouse]

33/10/6 after 80 hands or so. He once 3 barrell bluffed OOP into my pot size PF raise with total air. But aside from that I hadn't seen anything crazy.

Anyone raise the turn here? Call the river?

As played, push the turn.

I'm personnaly not a fan of the flop raise. People generally only raise premium hands from the blinds so he's either flushdrawing/overcards or you're way behind. In other words: you don't want to play a big pot here. I would just call the flop and bet the turn if he checks.

Oh, I see now that he only raised small pre. Don't think that changes my thoughts a lot although he could now also have small pairs and have you crushed.

your 2 recommendations seem inconsistent to me, and your range for villain is too narrow for a steal raise.

you have a point about the flop and wanting to keep the pot small, but I raised b/c every card in the deck is potentially bad for us, and I'd like to take it down on the flop and avoid hazardous decisions on the turn.
