Default 50/1

BB has $600. You complete the SB, your 2nd at the table with 95s. Flop is 522r. You bet, BB raises. Plan?

I'm assuming it was folded to you in the SB. I'd just tend to 3-bet with the intention of showing down regardless, even if he caps. I think this is the kind of board that's going to elicit a lot of B.S., and I suspect he'll check behind often enough on the turn that I'd prefer to retain the lead. You could also call the flop and donk the turn.

In general, his stack wouldn't significantly alter my play on this hand, just because I'm not interested in playing a 12BB pot against an unknown regardless of his starting stack; if he had ~4BBs, I'd just do whatever it took to get it in.

Simply plowing forward with a 3-bet gets good money into the pot. I wouldn't overthink this one.

3-bet and lead any turn. Money is going in regardless.

Well, what do we think he has? A 2 is unlikely both statistically and bcs he prolly slowplays it. A 5 we may be behind as likely as ahead, and if ahead we may chop. Im just guessing that he has air most of the time, if so should we 3 bet?

Air generally has six outs against your hand, so giving up the betting lead to him is at least somewhat dangerous. Also, air sometimes decides to make a brilliant calldown with king high or a brilliant bluff-raise. So give him a chance to make some mistakes.

3 betting is bad vs a deuce and a five

if he has air then callingand letting him fire turn and hopefully river is huge bc the pot is so small

theres not many hands u lose value from by not 3betting flop. ace high which isnt super likely, maybe king high, maybe he pairs a 3 or a 4 and doesnt vb. not a big range
