3 streets of betting. 5/10 Party

[Binbs]

Would like some feedback on this hand- Villain is 20/14/3.75.

I just sat down and stacked a fish he was playing and then more ppl joined in on the table, so I dont have a good feel of the how the table flow is going.

I realize this is a close spot. So I guess my question is, how often is this a call? Also what is your interpretation of his turn betsize. I usually find this betsize in this spot to be ambivalent but I'd like to hear others thoughts. note its a blind battle.

I don't get much information from his turnbet alone. Both turn and river are pretty big though, which points to a polarized range. I doubt he has a one pair hand here often. So two pair, sets and maybe like T9ss or ATss and complete bluffs, which are somewhat unlikely because he should put on you a decent range by the river, so if he bluffs here he is getting pretty optmistic about you folding your hand. And most bluffs would have hit something by the river unles he has deuces [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I think a fold is OK.

I'd raise the flop here. As played I'd fold, vs some particular opponents I'd call, like abababababba, hes so darn aggro

i dont like a flop raise at all. we have a medium hand w/ showdown value that cant stand a reraise (and i can see villain reraise(semi)bluffing in a spot like this).

i like the way you played this. i agree with ogdundar. i dont think he will fire 3 barrels w/ air here, so he probably caught something and he wont bet one pair type hands. you are getting a little over 2:1 and i highly doubt you are going to win over 33%.

edit: i was villain

i dont think a flop raise is bad, but a call is fine too
after the flop call i think you played it well
i'd 3barrel here sometimes, but i dont think often enough to make it a call
i'll post my hand if you want me to
and plz dont stack my fishs [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
