So, it is about 10 hands into this puppy. The villain seems scared to play any big pots, under-betting or folding to any raise. I am calling him too lightly. I can tell my game is a tad off at the moment.

Hero: 1310
Villain: 1690

Hero holds 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Blinds 20/40

Hero raises to 60

Basically what I always do.....

Villain re-raises to 100

Here, he has completely defined his hand, or at least narrowed it down. I am not too sure if he can let it go or not. I continue with the assumption that he may not be able to, especially if he has a big pair.

His usual line has been to under-bet the turn or check behind, giving me better odds than what it would other-wise appear.

Is anyone raising here? Folding?

I just poker-stoved this flop against any pp... I am not looking to god right now.

pot: 400

Turn: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Villain bets 100

Hero calls 100

Okay, so I improved to a gut-shot plus my flush draw. I doubt hitting any of my pairs is going to do anything for me. He is still under-betting the pot. If he bet the turn, he is betting river, as far as I can tell, so I hope to maybe grab this pot if I hit, plus gain a few.

Villian bets 140

Hero raises to 800.

The 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] doesn't improve your draw at all. Still, he's giving you good odds to draw. I think it's OK.
