fwiw, I bet the turn which lets the river decision be easier. In a bubble, I think it is a fold here. Although I agree that in a HU match a lot about this decision has to do with the flow of the play, which is hard to comment on just based on this post.

I call. 2:1 on your money plus information.

Raising is possible so long as you wont get 3 bet bluffed.

Folding i dont like - too weak.

for anyone who can just say they call, they are wrong. this is 100% opponent and moreso match specific.

a raise is a good play every once in awhile, but unless you have a pretty standard image (which my guess is you dont) you wont get him to fold reasonable hands and if you are raising then you are telling yourself you think he has a reasonable hand (because if he didnt you would just call).

i cant tell you any more about this situation without having seen the whole match.

i'd fold.

this sounds like an ideal opponent to me.......
Opponent re-raises from small blind. He has been reraising a fair amount - probably all pairs, all aces, any two broadway cards, occasionally suited connectors, and the occasional junk reraise.

Could someone explain to the bad players why his hand is face up. And in observable logic. Thanks

True stance is that I completely agree with Taylor

the reason you made the turn check should make the river play easy once a blank comes. the way hes played the 3's makes the turn check dubious. i cant imagine this is the 1st time hes gone rr/bet/check w/ weak holdngs. if you honestly beleive he wasnt giving up here w/ holdings as weak as 33 then check robo call the river is best play.

I don't know that it was a value bet - I think he was bluffing.
