50NL: Man, I HATE being this outplayed.

[Chomp]

Villain 25/22/4. Those stats are pretty impressive.

Hero has been playing 21/19 and raising plenty.

Here's the crucial thing about this hand: this is the 3rd (maybe 4th) time villain has 3b me in about as many orbits. Each time I've raised and he's wanted to play, he has come in for a 3b and I've folded. So this time I felt I had to make a stand.

From there, I feel I get owned. It's as though he interpreted my turn check as exactly what it was: crippling weakness. What does he percive my range as? Is there any way he is making a move here? Or did I just pick the wrong 3b to call and actually walked into a hand? Or maybe he is just very good?

Fwiw, I very, very nearly called river.


Thanks.
