I would just call and hope he shoves the turn. I play poker to win money and never play soft vs anyone.

i don't softplay. but i also do NOT play poker just for the money. i play for competition as well, and when the playing field is not level, then i'm not beating someone fair-and-square, and that detracts from the satisfaction of competing.

right but, first and foremost it's for the money right? Plus, he's the one that tilted the playing field in your favor. It's a mistake on his part.

are you trying to advocate folding or something? If you really wanna be nice then just shove and maybe he can figure it out, if not call and he'll probably think you have a set and he'll shove non-pairing turns at least if not any.
