its very important how he perceives you are atleast how you think he does

o sorry i am tag reg... on more than one of his tables... 20/11

[jfish]

i would likely call and call the turn.

I would also call flop, probably call turn.
When you raise, do you plan on getting it in?
If not i don't like your raise because i don't see him bet calling with too many hands. And by folding you just build a pot that you are going to give away with decent equity.
I would rather raise this flop with air and hands that you are comfortable getting it in with.

I guess this could be way off, please correct me if that's the case.

I'd call flop and evaluate turns. The flop call should slow him down, too.

[RiverHebrew2]

call flop $16. His intention was to B3B, so fold...

[Josh.]

his fold sb to steal is very important

[chcheers]

push.

Good chance he has air/straight draw, and a lot turn cards can make you make a mistake (solid reasoning, I know). If he has a set/overpair, nh.
