my image was pretty tight and also showed some cheap bluffs occasionally. Villain was a passive semi-loose timid guy who looked like straightforward. A few hands ago, he muttered to himself about how big my overpair must be and folded his 99 to my big c-bet on Q44 flop. I did have KK in that hand.
this time i had QQ on MP3 , raised to $15 to isolate one early loose limper, villain called on CO. Its HeadsUp and our effective stack was like total $350 behind.
flop: 3 3 3 hero bet $25, villain popped up to $75.
whats your game plan NOW?? Fold, 3 bet/shove on this flop or c/bomb on the turn ??

well i have no knowledge of live play but if this guys already shown a tendency to get away from strong (ish) hands id just let him hang himself and check bomb any non king or ace turn as he hes drawing to 2 outs most of the time here. If hes slowplayed kk or aa your screwed regardless. I guess you could just employ zeebo and 4 bet the flop hoping he cant fold his lower boat but id play it a bit slower on the offc hance hes bluffing/overplays smaller pair etc. Im thinking villain has 99-jj here most of the time.

Do whatever you feel would look weaker to him so either 3bet or call.

you guys probably play too much online no-tell poker
my solid read is that villain was very timid/passive and often refused to make/call a big bet without a real hand on the flop in a few spots. The majority of his range is TT-AA or quads given my super tight image and his flop huge aggression. Also, I'm pretty sure that he'd rarely raise with 99-TT against a very tight range. How does this change your mindset? We should still call off our whole stack???

nutsinho will become famous soon enough
call and fold to a large turn bet. if he checks turn, bet/bet.
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

i used nutsinho's line as played, the guy immediately bet another $75 when checked to. So i shoved and lost to a better hand (KK) he slow played preflop.
in my opinion, the $75 bet in 1/2 NL live games really means serious business. God Dammit, i've got to trust my read next time i run into this situation.

Meh I still think you are ahead of his range that he plays like this. 1010 is tough, probably a fold tho

Most live players are sooo passive with showdown value and put you on a big pair here way too often. Also KK flats like almost always and AA flats almost as often. I only see good aggression at the biggest game in the room or with a very easy player read.

Barring better reads, I hate life here.
