J9s from Button

[Spy Dog]

Small site with no HUD stats. I've only played about 3 orbits with villian. He's raised preflop 2-3 times, always 4xBB and also has limped in a 2-3 times. He hasn't shown down. He's also folded to a Cbet when he's called preflop. So, I guess he seems OK. Certainly not terrible.

Hero has $200 and villian covers.

Hero openraises for $8 with J9s from the button. SB folds. BB calls.

Flop is 984r ($16). Villian donks for $10. Hero calls (??)

Turn ($36) is an Ace, completing the rainbow. Villian leads for $22. Hero........????


Not really sure what to do on this flop or turn. Please advise.....

make it 72, then shutdown.

calling is ok too, IMO.

looks like he's slowing down some here, and you're in a good spot to represent the ace. i prefer a raise to a call here.

On a flop, is a call or a raise better? I used to raise but I find that people alwyas just fold when I do, or 3 bet me making me fold.

this is why a call is better unless u have a v strong read on your opp.
