Opponent is 70/20. I don't know much about him other than that. In one hand earlier he made a small donk and folded to a raise.

Hero bets $38, MP folds, Button raises to $76, Hero raises to $114, Button calls $38.

I put him on most likly a K here. I minreraised to pot commit him without giving him a chance to fold. Flush draw is likly as well. I guess he can have a 3 as ell but that didn't cross my mind. I guess it didn't recistered since he called my raise, but unfortunatly a 3 is in his range.

I think theres lots of 3s in his range here. Notice that he just limped on the button, so considering 20% pre raise, mosty likely he doesnt have KT+. Some Flush draws are possible too, and some random crap that he just decided to raise you with. But that is sort of read dependant. I would be really reluctant to play for my stack here, without any additional reads, although if i decide to continue here, im playing for my stack. Most probably just calling the flop and c/raising all in on the blank turn.

As played, i think we can safely exclude any trips from his range, since he would have shoved it in on the flop with any of these hands. I dont think this villain can be tricky enough to just flat call there. On the turn you pretty much have to get the rest of the money in, since i think he will pay you off with a king here, i might consider check/calling here, just in case he is a scared of the flush type [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Good analysis. Thanks! If ýou decide to get away from the hand, how do you do that? What if a blank hits on the turn?
