3/6 Stars: TPTK Reraised 150BB

[cheiro]

I don't have much history with villain. He seems like a TAG/nit with holes in his game based on the few hands I've played with him. The hand in question is the second one, which occurred 5 minutes after the first against the same villain. The first hand is merely for history and I understand that it may not be the best spot for a flop steal.

Preflop and Flop bet are standard IMO, but I am not sure what to make of his checkraise and turn bet. Can anyone fold TPTK on this flop given the former hand/momentum?

edit: I hate stars fast tables

hm, turn seems like a scared bet. I'd call and see what he does on the river...if he checks, push. Regardless these are the types of spots I hate.

How is it scared to leave 300ish behind when the pot is gonna be like 1500 on the river if you call and there aren´t any draws ?

[DJ Sensei]

hopefully i'm not being results oriented, but i'd say check behind flop. you shouldnt be too concerned about free cards, and I doubt he'll put in a whole stack with TP2K or worse.

as played, only call flop if you intend to probably call off the rest, especially on blanks like that.

What effect do you think this might have on the psychology of this hand?

[oakley77]

very odd bet on turn... Might have to pay him off here without a good read, I think you might be ahead here given the way he slowplayed 2 pair earlier, it seems unlikely he would do a CR with 2 pair here on the flop. More i think about it, seems like your hand is good here most of the time.
