a turn miniraise

[Michaelson]

I've never played with villain before this session. Hadn't noticed him until he did this:

SB had A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (a pair of Nines) and LOST (-$92.00)
Hero had T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (two pairs, Tens and Nines) and WON (+$91.50)



Very next hand I pick up TT again, and we tangle again. I am happy with my overpair and will stack off to this guy. With that said, I realised after I checked to him that a big turn CR isolates mainly hands that beat me. I miniraise him to try to induce a bluff. Horrible?

He calls the raise and the river is ugly, what's my play then?

i think i like the turn mr in position more. and i probably wouldnt do it vs. this guy. (i like c/r-ing turn for more alot here). or c/c and c/r ai on river.

as played c/c anything. i think he's likely to bluff alot. sortve sucks though, im sure he has some weird Ace combos in his range. i'm still c/c-ing though.

what a vomity river.

do you think he'd raise a block bet with an ace (or air)? if no, then id toss out $40. worse hands might look you up still.

if you really want to see a showdown, and worry he might bluff you off your hand if you block bet, c/c most reasonable bets.
