First hand I would fold. Very drawy board, you can't do anything with confidence, the pot is small, let it go.

Hand 2: I would 3bet. This time he will pay for his semibluff.

On the first hand, I fold without a worry. Grab pokerstove and you'll see where you stand better.

On the second hand, this is totally situational. You have a strong hand still, do what you think will make you the money you want. The CO cold calling pf should be a lot of info, most players have a very specific range of cold calling type hands.

Hand 1 I'm folding. I'd 3 bet on the the second hand for value, and with the expectation that villain is taking a shot at us thinking we have whiffed overs.

You could also consider call the flop and cr the turn if you think he is taking a shot at us.

You then run the risk of him checking behind on the turn.

I would take that risk in this spot; the turn changes a lot of things.

I don't know, the drawy flop makes me want to raise now and try to take the pot down rather than waiting for the turn. That and the chance for an overcard to hit the turn.

Default Re: I have (not) a cunning plan.

you're never taking the pot down now. waiting allows you to get 2 bb in the pot on the turn when a good card falls and saves a small bet on the flop when a bad card falls. this all depends on how well you judge the good/bad cards, which is pretty hard to do based on the fact that the only information we have so far is his preflop coldcall and flop raise. i do not feel like the bets you win/save by calling the flop raise outweigh the immediate value of 3-betting and value-betting the turn and river against his most likely hands - pairs, which can easily get scared of a turn Q/K/A and check behind costing you a lot.
