Note that Villain sat down and posted (I didn't notce this when I played this until I already raised. I would've raised $1.25 if I had, if that matters...).

I have a 1000 hands on him-- 32%/3%/1.26. From past history he strikes me as somewhat nitty and passive postflop, though no specific examples came to mind at the time.

His post/call and aggression on the flop struck me as a little unusual for him and I hate the texture of this flop. I don't think we have much fold equity given the action. I'm lost here.

No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.15/$0.25
10 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $41.97
Hero: $20.35
UTG+2: $26.60
MP1: $24.55
MP2: $63.47
MP3: $20
CO: $22.25
Button: $34.53
SB: $6.10
BB: $20.07

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is UTG+1 with J J
UTG folds, Hero raises to $1, 3 folds, MP3 calls, 4 folds.

Flop: 7 8 5 ($2.4, 2 players)
Hero bets $1.5, MP3 raises to $3, Hero ??

I might call here and then if the turn is safe, bet again. This often a line taken by players on draws.

That is a pretty ugly flop.

I hate calling here and the minraise is suspicious but I don't really see a fold right here. Thus I'm torn between:
- calling the bet and reevaluating on the turn
- 3-betting is interesting but I am clueless as to what to do if flat called. Probably check/fold the turn?!

being OOP, I prefer option No. 1. I don't like calling but with your read, I tend towards checkfolding the turn; if he checks behind and the turn and river cards are relatively harmless, I value bet the rivah.

I thought about 3betting but wanted to keep some semblance of pot control and I didn't see this guy folding.

Hero calls.

Turn:

Hero sighs and gets ready to c/f?

Well, IF he hasn't made his straight or two pair already, the ace is a big scare card for him. Think what you'd do if you had the cards he might have at this point on seeing the ace.

The range of hands I put him on don't get scared by the A.
With his VPIP of 32% and action so far, Asxs makes sense (in addition to the straight/2 pair/set possibilities). I elected to c/f this (he bet $3 after I checked). I think most non-nut FD's check behind. It just seemed like spew to bet/fold to raise or c/c as the only realistic hands he has that I might get to fold are 99/TT/QQ. Asxs and 66 both stay in and I'm drawing to two outs, one of which is tainted.

Goot?
