 Bet more on the flop, more on the turn. I'm not folding here, he may be bluffing or think his 66-KK, Ax is good.

This hand is so weird. I probably call. This sucks for value, so he's more likley bluffing. He might even have a 4 or higher PP and think he can get called by an Ace.
Just playing to improve.

 Ugh I fold this. I would only call if I had a read that he was a maniac or if I've seen him make huge bets as bluffs like this in the past.

Agreed. Your turn bet just reeks of "I'm not sure about my hand". And you gave him the right odds to call with any draw.

However, this type of bet in my experience usually means busted draw and villain trying to push you off calling by pushing a huge bet.

you displayed a weak hand and the flop and turn... i think he must put you on two over cards at this point but if he really has something wouldn't he let you just bet so he can call?..

i think this is more than likely a missed flush draw or a huge hand...

i honestly dunno what i'd do... more than likely call....

Lay it down in a hearbeat and walk away happy you only lost $4.25. That board is just too dangerous. High probablility a loose/aggressive player hit the boat playing High Card/Rag. Maybe even flopped the straight and was smooth calling.

You know this guy isn't on a pocket pair. So look at it this way...would you make the call with 77? All you have is an over pair that caught no piece of the board.

Just a quick q: A lot of you are saying the flop bet was weak, but it was 2/3 of the pot which is a pretty standard bet size from what I've seen. The turn bet was less than 1/3 the pot which is a weak bet but what would you do with the flop? PSB?

the board is a terrible board for aces. there are straight/flush draws out there. 2/3 the pot is alright for a pretty harmless board, but 345 with a flush draw needs to be potted
