[neverforgetlol]

his bets were small enough to keep me hooked, but big enough where i didn't think i could raise him off his hand. and do i rr preflop? haven't seen villian do anything crazy yet.

if im raising i am raising the turn bet to around 10...otherwise i dont mind the call down

[xwillience]

raise the flop if your going to raise. otherwise fold the turn.

[neverforgetlol]

do you get what i said about bet sizes? that's why i called down. could be a weak-tight fearing a set (but still playing his hand) or a laggier player. i don't see someone at this level folding to a raise in this spot.

In this spot, I personally would reraise. I don't like minraises and I would like to have control of the pot. If i do opt to call, I would raise on the flop to see where I stood. I hate calling a player down and not knowing if I'm ahead or behind. I think a raise between $5-$6 is good. If he calls and checks the turn, then I'll think my hand is possibly good. If he reraises, I can fold, or If he calls and checks the turn, I can check for pot control.

[neverforgetlol]

not a minraise it's a standard 4x.

i think calling is ok because a lot of people do this bet small, call raise, bet small again because they are retards.

they might fold a weak Jack. or you could protect yoru hand from an a/k/q falling. calling down is definitely not an option unless you have a read that he is a maniac.

[Oubliette]

How about raising the turn for a "free" showdown? I would imagine a raise would fold overcards for sure so you dont have to guess if one hits on the river, and would def slow down your average W/T. What do we think of a small turn raise?

its possible, but it risks more money than a flop raise. and if he calls we have no showdown value anyways.
