I assume just calling this flop is probably the right thing to do, should this turn be bet, he isn't going for the double c/r is he?

PSB on turn, don't be such a pansy..

3bet the flop to $10, Yeti theorem ftw. As played, $7 on the turn, call a shove.

Shove from villain would be a little scary since it would be like $43 into $15 pot. Should certainly be trying to get the money in though.

We really want to try to get this in against a checkraiser with only a 5 kicker? All I would be beating would be a bluff and 43.

There is no reason, I repeat, NO REASON to be scared of villain's min checkraise.

People like to make plays at low (e.g 4) high boards and paired boards. Alot of the time this flop check raise is just that, a play. He may think you're just making a play at the pot so he made a play back.

His range is huge: if he has pocket 2's or the case 4 with a higher kicker then just reload and get over it.

which is why if you 3-bet and call a shove you're drawing thin to dead...

however, you def have to 3-bet this to protect against the draws. i would be VERY VERY hesitant to call a shove though. it's a limped pot, and you have zero kicker.

If this is a play don't I want to just smooth call and let him make antoher play at the board, if I show my strength now won't he just give up on his play??

[Mundy]

Just something to add to my above post:

As played with a min check raise he could even have a flush draw. He could be hoping to scare you - like it did to OP - and get a free river if he misses the turn.

I'd of three bet and folded to a shove. Sorry I should of said what i'd do as opposed to just posting about his range. The reload comment was meant to mean if he pushs then fold and reload. I'm sure I'm not the only one who reloads after loosing a sizeable pot?

You have to 3bet to see where you are - you are either miles ahead or miles behind. I'm happy to take this pot down as soon as possible.
