Unknown villain. He has raised my blind once already though. Is this bad?

I don't know how the things are in $114, but I could see myself checking the turn for pot control ( especially this early ). As played .. I am not sure about the turn, but I guess you have to call the river.

This happens to me a lot and almost every time villain has hit a set on the turn here. But then again I play small stakes, not 114s. Still, I'd probably put villain on either 33 or complete air.

one if the best flops you could hope for, i raise the flop. as played i rather check behind on turn hoping to induce a river bluff.

Why no jammy whammy on that flop? If youre beat I think youll find out pretty quick

preflop looks good.

once you get cr'ed on the turn, you can expext a river bet about 90% of the time. so i guess you need to decide if you want to go broke.

i don't know, it is a blind battle, but i think i let it go to the turn cr and hope like heck he does not flash KJ or KT.

i don't mind a check behind on the turn. board is not too bad and it gives you a good chance to induce a river bluff if he has a middle pair or whaterver.
