NL100. Semideep. My weak overpair gets clickraised

[Oink]

Hi guys

Ok so I am trying out this NL thing. Going pretty well so far.

One thing I have trouble with tho, is when somebody floats me preflop and raises a low board. What the hell do you do with your medium pairs?


In this hand villain had been pretty laggy after about 40 hands. He had been floating me a couple of times preflop however we havent seen a SD yet. I think he won one of the pots where I gave up on the turn.

This was the first time that he raised me on the flop BTW

I have been thinking about this for 2 days now, but am not coming into any conclusion what would be the best line.

My thoughts are that after calling the raise Hero is committed, 13% of the stack bet, but getting it all-in seems too risky. Perhaps just call the raise and then control the pot ie c/c unless faced with really big bets in which case c/f?

I hate to say it but this is really player dependent. I see the MP's stack is &gt;100, so let's just assume he knows how to play poker. This min-raise could be an attempt at a cheap-river or a sucker-raise. Has MP done anything like in the past? Have you seen MP go nuts with an overpair to the board (could MP have 66-TT here?).

My default line with a complete unknown is to call the min-raise and play poker after that. If the turn gets checked through, I'm comfortable calling a river bet.

Call, evaluate future action.

Whenever I feel I may have been floated by a villain I will either check/call the next good or mediocre made hand in order to get to showdown and see what he is doing. Or, when the board is dry and cries for a cbet on the flop, I will more often fire again on the turn.

Given your history with villain I would probably have tried a BIG checkraise on the flop (checkcalling feels weird on this board). As played, well, call and see what happens.

Atlest 75% of the time people do this to me at and I get to showdown they have a monster.
