an undertone, a monotone board, and a scared girl folds

If stacks were normal I'd be tempted to raise to $17. That said as shallow as we are, I just see villain pushing his stack in here a lot lighter

I flat-call pretty fast, then play for showdown in position. This could easily be a blocking bet or air, but like you said, raising just runs right into a strong draw 3-bet, and of course sometimes you are crushed.

I called. Turn is a J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], SB leads out for $9. Call again?

i dont really like this one, but in general if you get confused, folding in a small pot is probably best

Wait, you are saying if you called flop? Read-dependent at that point, fold is fine.

SB probably sucks pretty bad, I'd peel one more and call river if offered reaaally good odds.

Thanks for the advice all. This is how the hand actually played out. Comments?
