100nl, mid pair v tag

[dragonystic]

Villain is 22/17/3.7 So far he's played straightforwardly against me. Is this a standard betting spot on the turn? Also, should I be raising this flop? At the time I didn't want to build a big pot against an UTG raiser. But now I'm unsure on the best play here.

you are WAWB but need to protect your hand from overs. It only needs to be a small bet/fold of perhaps 1/2 pot

looks like his cbet went wrong and hes given up, or hes planning to cr a monster (say QQ) either way a bet of 2/3 the pot should end the hand here when you fold if raised.

Check, showdown.

Totally agree with the above. And I like your flat-call on the flop (unless he's seen you do the "call flop/bet turn" thing numerous times already). I think 7/10 times, this is a guy who CB'd and is now tapping out.

This annoys me, if we need ot protect our hand then it's not wa/wb. See the wa/ab thread.

actually in this situation i think it might be accurate. cause i dont know WHICH overs he might have. so even if im 3:1, a lot of rivers could provide good bluffs for villain.

Check behind, you're WAWB. Even more so if you think theres a chance he'll fire a bullet on the river, snap call any non K/A river?
