1/2 NL home game, 2 pair 3-handed (w/tells!)
My NL game is super-rusty. Not that I was very good to start with. I love limit.
Anyway, 1/2 NL at a buddy's house. Down to 3 handed at the end of the night. I've never played a cash game with these guys. Only $10 tournaments. Villain in this hand is a semi-loose player PF. He then tightens up under pressure post-flop. He understands poker a bit, but has never read anything about it. In past tournaments he's shown a lack of understanding of bet-sizing (couldn't figure out why I'd raise to 500 at 25/50 with 4 limpers in the pot. He called these kind of bets "outrageous".) In tournaments if he raises pre-flop he'll almost always make a continuation bet. He will then back down in the face of pressure (unless he's short stacked). Effective stacks $110 Hero is BB with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Button calls, SB completes, Hero checks. FLOP: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (pot: $6) SB checks, Hero checks, <font color="red">Villain bets $8 </font>, SB folds, Hero calls. <font color="green">Villain bet forcefully, and overbet the pot which was strange. I decided I would check-raise a non-threatening turn card (???). Maybe he's on a strong draw?(I have no evidence to back up that thought.)</font> TURN: Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (pot: $20) <font color="red">Hero bets $15</font>, <font color="red">Villain raises to $35</font>, Hero... <font color="green">As I think about what to do, (didn't expect his raise) I look at villain and I notice his heartbeat is going crazy. It's visible through his T-shirt near his armpit. He's looking off into the distance, won't look and me, and isn't moving much.</font> Side question: In a 3-handed game, how big is two pair on this board?

[ QUOTE ]
I don't understand your flop check. You have a big hand and the board contains a number of draws. Could you explain please? [/ QUOTE ] 1) I'm terrible 2) I felt villain would bet at it. 3) The forceful way he made that bet made me think I should wait for a safe turn card to get some money in (me not thinking about the axiom "strong means weak", if it applies here). 4) Against other players I've played good hands strongly throughout the game. Against villain I've played weakly (calling his PF raises and check-folding. I raise-bluffed middle pair against him earlier and folded to his 3-bet. I thought I could trap him for $$$ with this hand.
