$25NL - TPTK played like a WIMP!

OK, had sat with villian for 20 hands, his stats were 38/0/1.0, and the only hand I'd seen him really involved in was this.... villian is on the BTN here.

BTN had Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (a pair of Queens) and LOST (-$11.00)



So, back to the hand... not seeing villian as being very aggro so far this check-raise kinda threw me off. What's your line here? And are we playing for stacks?

Call here and check the turn, except you improve.
Your hand is marginal, and if you dont improve you should go for pot control.

I think he wants to take the pot away from you here. If you tried to steal you would throw your hand away here.

[yntm3]

Well I don't want to raise because putting in that much money will commit us with a marginal hand. Folding for a min-raise is too weak so the only option is to call IP and take a look at the turn. If he fires close to put I might just fold depending on the card.

[DaN_05]

OK, I called and then turn comes 7h and he bets $4... time to fold then you reckon?

[yntm3]

Hmm I feel uncomfortably in these spots but I would call this bet and then grumble when he mashes pot in my face on the river.

Call and b/f turn.

I would probably call the flop RR, check/call the half pot turn bet and fold on a river shove.
