id just call?

its a lot closer to a fold than a raise

i think i fold, this is one of those dumb spots that he very rarely shows up with a worse 10, and hes almost never bluffing here

as far as what he checked the flop with i have no idea, AT perhaps?

"I'd just call" does not suggest I have any plans of raising.

I just wouldn't fold here vs him. I think his bluff frequency here is higher than you do, but I could easily be wrong about that.

I'd call > fold >>>>>>> play aba HU for rolls > raise

Call. Hate poker.

Easy call. Scotty will also do this with an AQish type hand planning on C/R the flop. He will make this sick value bet in marginal spots where he thinks he's barely good but also thinks he's getting called. He'll do this with AT just as much as Tx or Qx or JJ or whatever.

Also though, I kinda like a turn raise planning to check river behind unimproved.

I'd call for sure. You're getting 14:3 and we know Scotty's capable of some crazy [censored].

my original thoughts as well
however
starting with 13.5k stacks, spite calling an extra 3k here def hurts a lot, and i think its important to really try to make a read here in addition to just playing the odds.

Scotty Nguyen tabled 22 then goes "Haha! All you have to do is check to them baaaaby!"

I took out my wallet and asked him if he wanted what was in there as long as i was just gonna pay him off all day.

Live players love the slow play and don't you forget it, no matter how bad the board/situation to do so.

wow, his flop check is somewhat sick for sure but he played the rest of the hand well indeed.
