$30 NLTRN - Bottom Two

[soop]

Hi all, first post. I was torn about what to do in this hand especially based on the history.

After some uninteresting hands to start the match, the last 4 hands have gone (no pf raises, my actions in caps):
- check-to river, BET-raise-RERAISE-fold
- bet-CALL, bet-CALL, bet-RAISE-fold
- check-RAISE-call, BET-call, CHECK-bet-CALL (villian shows flush draw that hit on river, I had top pair)
- bet-RAISE-fold

What do you all think. Is villian sick of getting pushed around here or protecting a big hand? Or on a draw? Though I am leaning against a draw since the 3bet seems odd for a draw and villian played the flush hand pretty passively.

This is not a hard fold.

Villain's bet looks like a weak pair or draw on flop. He apparently hit the turn and every possibility of his holdings beats you.

it's going to take a lot more than "apparently hit the turn" for me to be convinced that he isn't just playing back with tp.
hero shoves.

79, 69, K9, K6, K7, 810, 85 are a lot more likely than top pair imo

I concur, especially the way this match has gone.

has villain been raising preflop???

I don't understand why you guys think this is such an easy spot seriously. I know OP has been playing aggressively, but bottom 2 is really good often enough on this board to be profitable???

Villain has to be terrible to stack off here with one pair. The only one pair hand I see a semi-decent player getting all in with here is K8 maybe.

I ended up pushing and villian called with KT for top pair and a gutshot.

I'm glad someone else thought this was a fold, because normally I fold here. People don't usually stack off here with top pair. In this case I called b/c I think the previous betting tipped the scales.
