getting raised light

[allaboutmyfetti]

villian is a tag, methinks he is raisng my flop c-bets light esp in steal-situations. What is the best way to handle this when I actually make a hand:

Full Tilt Poker
$0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Ring Game
6 Players
LegoPoker Hand Converter

<font color="black">Stack Sizes</font>
MP: $273.30
CO: $51.05
BTN: $50
Hero (SB): $50
BB: $70
UTG: $21.55

<font color="black">Preflop:</font> 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($0.75, 6 players)
UTG folds, MP folds, CO folds, BTN folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $1.75</font>, BB calls $1.25

<font color="black">Flop:</font> 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($3.5, 2 players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $2.50</font>, <font color="red">BB raises to $8</font>, Hero ??

Is 3bai suicide? Calling seems to suck since there a million turn cards I dont wana see ... folding is usually my standard here but feels pretty w/t esp. given my read.

if you have a strong reason to believe he's playing back at you its not that bad. otherwise it seems like spew to me.

Has he done this before? If you have a good feeling for the villian or a good read I usually re-raise in these spots, and see what happens from then on. Always a hard situation to be in but vs. certain villians 3betting isn't bad here.

i would just 3bet ai here and he will fold, and if he doesn't well you have outs and it will probably make him stop playing back at you

When villain is a TAG, shoving probably puts more money on the line than is necessary to get the job done. I raise to 25-30. That should show enough strength to a TAG to convince him that I am serious about this hand. If I'm called, I'm done with the hand, though, even when a non-club turn card comes.

I'm not sure I have it in me to c/f a non-club, non-broadway turn. 3-betting / folding to a 4-bet seems kinda overtly weak ... iono.

If I am called here by a TAG, I have to assume some serious strength on his side and I won't put all my money in just because I don't want to look weak against his big pair or something. So I tend to realize that I picked the wrong spot to pull this stunt and back off. There aren't many beautiful cards for the turn. If you are called here, I think you are basically hoping for a non-club 6.
