5NL - Do I call these small bets correctly?

[L8Bloomer]

This is going to seem like the minutest of details, but I think it is something I should know. This usually aggressive villain small bets the turn and the river. It seems as though I am priced in, but I realized I don't really know how to tell. I used SNG power tools for SNGs, do you use something different for cash games?

Don't you have like 20BB/100 over 50,000 hands? We should be asking you for help haha.

Na I'd probably re-raise on the flop just to get a sense of what villan might have. But as played you can't really fold this, even though it almost certain you're beaten on the river I just don't think anyone could lay this down with such tiny bets.

Thanks for the response. Most of the time, that makes sense to me, but in this case the player was quite aggressive, I wanted to see another card, and felt like he priced me in to do just that. Then he did it again on river, and I almost folded. Was just wondering if I had odds to call his bet and if it was plus or minus EV. Is there a tool that you use to determine EV in cash games? While I did get into the math of the game late in my MTT playing time, I am still going mostly by feel. I want to understand the math side better.

I figured out that I was doing the BB wrong, sorry about the confusion - I am actually around 11 PTBB/100. Funny enough though, I ran into a tilted 5/10 cash player at one of my tables who was putting all his money in every hand. I was up $38 in about ten hands thanks to a QQ and AK hitting unchallanged at just the right times. That increased my PTBB/100 in 7000 hands of 5NL to 20.54! :-P I will be sure to remember this fellow when my PTBB plummets back to reality!
