Default Blind Battle

Villain has been raising a lot, winning often without a showdown. This was in a space of a few hands, so I'm not sure if he's a maniac or just getting good cards.

Poker Stars
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $0.50/$1
3 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (3 players) Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Button folds, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB caps</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (8SB, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5BB, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

River: 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (7BB, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: 9BB

The same here. No need to raise the flop because he will either be in front or have the odds to call anyway and we don't know what to do with a 3bet.. So call is ok.

Turn: Maybe a raise here is right but then again he will have odds to call and we will only win here if he folds.
So a call is ok.

River: Of course a call is mandatory here.
