Getting mini raised on the flop with a vulnerable hand

I think check/folding the turn is pretty weak.

If I had a hand with less showdown value, I might 3bet-fold the flop, and take a note on whether villain minraises with monsters or crap.


We do have a hand with some show down value, but if villain is not passive (he raised so he is probably not that passive) there is no way this is going to showdown easily, given that we are OOP. So we are going to be aggressive to avoid getting stepped on.

I'm hesitating between 3 betting/fold the flop and calling the flop then bet/folding the turn

So, let me get this straight... because your hand has showdown value, you take a line that virtually guarantees you won't get a cheap showdown.

As for my line being "weak", sometimes it's OK to get moved off the best hand, especially OOP. All you have is a crappy overpair.

No, what I meant is that we have showdown value, but unless villain is passive it doesn't matter since we aren't going to see a cheap showdown.

If I knew villain was passive I would check/fold that turn and try to go to showdown cheaply.

Then you're probably right that we can play that hand weakly and wait to know more about the villain
