Villain is an 8% winner over a reasonable sample...

I've raised btn about 5 of my first 6 hands, Villain has either called (5/6), or reraised (1/6) preflop. He has folded his btn about 80% of the time and has put up a lot of resistnace so far post flop. They're my only reads...

This SCEAMS at worst tptk,more likely an over pair. however given your read it might be a case where he thinks your weak, here and you have folded to large raises in the past and is just trying to gain a small pot by way of massive overbet. i would be compelled to call, your gonna be hurting aganst 76,AQ-Q9,AA,KK,QQ,77,66. but there are some draws that a super aggro might be willing to risk a subatatial amount on a semi bluff. the blinds are small enough,IMO, to warrant a fold here to though.waiting for a better spot to get it all in might be the right play, given you havent seem him showdown garbage and he seems fairly tight.

I'd fold. He caught you with a weak kicker so you're either SA or WB.

A little weak to get it in, but with this player you might find yourself loving to get this in 10-20 hands from now if the same hand comes up.

Too early unless you can turn some of those "put up a lot of resistance post flop" reads into "has shoved on me a few times post flop."

Guy is a station OOP and given your broad read of resistance postflop his range is going to be pretty wide on this hand. I still think you have to fold, it just makes it a lot closer.

I'd fold and wait to get better reads. Alot of times in these situations i will think the guy is bluffing, and over aggro but then he will never do it again the whole match, which makes me think he wasnt bluffing in the situation. I wait. If you are a better player than your opponent, the more hands you play the greater your advantage will be.

Never fold here...If you ever like folding in this spot you shouldn't bet the flop in the first place. If the guy has played all 6 hands there is no excuse for folding or giving the guy this type of credit: "This SCEAMS at worst tptk,more likely an over pair." PLZZZ

[Dulce Liquido]

Thanks for the replies all.

Seems a fold is almost unanimous. I've just moved up to the 55's, but given my sample of play on the 22's and 33's I'd call this in less than a Second usually at those stakes. Is this closer to a fold as I move up?

I basically couldn't see him playing a JQ+ this way or KK+, looks a lot more like some sort of str8 draw (5,8 5,4 4,9 etc) or weak made hand (7x, 88-JJ) or random junk so I called pretty quickly.

He flipped over Q9 ftw, I wonder if this could just as easily have been Q2 - Q8 exluding 2 pr combos.

While I disagree that this always screams top pair or whatever, if he hasn't been raising like every cbet on dry flops then I don't think it is profitable to call here.

I don't know why you think just because he is a station OOP that this call is profitable. I strongly disagree.

[ThePhenom919]

what I was saying was if ur gonna bet 100 (which is the basically the full pot), and only leave urself 900-1000 chips if you fold...you shouldn't bet w/ the intention of folding. You do that long enough, you'll get run over/grinded down repeatedly.

[ChicagoRy]

FWIW I'd bet 80 and fold to the shove. If I thought my opponent would call a shove with that sort of hand I would just start shoving my nutty hands, but then I'd be playing 33s all over again.
