3 50NL Hands, Line Checks

[Nick C]

Hand 1: I think he flopped a set. I call out of spite and hope I have enough implied odds on my OESD (I'm thinking probably I do).

Hand 2: I haven't seen Villain play, but 29/19/2 stats are not especially donkish.

I probably just fold to the donkbet.

Hand 3: Representing turned trips when the board pairs is such a popular thing to do that it makes me feel really FOS when I try to do it. The board is super-drawish too, and I don't know that that's going to help your credibility any.

Er, I don't know what's best, really. I probably just fold.

If Villain is a frequent two-barreler, though, then that does improve the case for a raise (since in that case he'll often be holding two cards that missed the board).

Earlier, on the flop, raising seems like an option. Probably it's mostly an option that will mix up your play a bit and increase your variance.
