Villain is whodaman(?), I have him at 16/10/3.5. He has given me some trouble in the past, mostly due to his semi-light 3 beting along with his nittiness. Whats your play here, and you plan for the turn??

I think this is most likely either a combo draw or someone defending against your cbets, maybe even a flush draw, or all of the above.

As played, like Fnord said, reraise to 115 or so, and shove most turns.

Oh yeah, pray for no queen/8/club

I make it 150 since there are so many bad turns and I want to get the money in now. Raising to 100 is too small imo.

Man this hand is tough b/c you're deep. First, you've got to c-bet bigger, make it ~$22. After that... I'd like a feel for whether he'll stack off 170bb with a bare flush/str8 draw. If he will, I'm more than happy to re-raise big and call a push. If he's too nitty for that, I like a smaller re-raise to $100, fold to a push, as weak-tight as that sounds. You're over a 2:1 dog to 22/KcQc/8c7c, so if you raise to $150 you're getting the right price to call a push, but not if you raise to $100.

Wouldn't hero feel better about stacking off on this flop if at least one of his boat outs was counterfeiting a flush out?

heh I think i totally misread this last time. For some reason i was thinking different cards were on the board ooops. Anyway, i also didn't notice your micro cbet. I definitely make a good cbet on that flop and not a micro one. Thats probably another reason he raised you. Also, i repop it to a little over 100 and shove any non-club, a or 6 turn. I don't feel bad about stacking off over this, even 170bb deep.

@overflow: Yeah definitely, but i still stack off here

This isn't that deep, and by his raise size it's pretty obvious he has a draw or a weak hand (IMO). I'd just 3-bet pot like to 125.

I think there are two standard ways to play it call and c.r the turn or fourbet and fourbet is definetely the better option.

And there's no way we don't stack off here.

I agree that villian's range here is essentially QcJc, 8c7c, 22, AcTx, Th9h, Ts9s, KcQc, KQo, AcQc, or total air. AcKc, JJ+ probably 3 bets from the button, so I'm seriously discounting overpair or AcKc.

Reraise/Call a Shove or call/open shove turn.

Which leads me to a dilemma that I've been struggling with constantly in my study of the game of Hold 'Em.

Which line looks "stronger" to the attentive opponent, 3betting the flop, or flat calling and open shoving any turn. Logic would tell me whichever play is more likely to get villian to put the money in with weaker hands getting worse odds should be the correct play, but I can never figure out which line "looks" stronger. Obviously the "weaker" looking line should be more profitable because you're inducing him to call light.

Edit:
I've decided that call/shove turn should be the optimal line here as it gives away the least information about the hand. You don't 3bet that flop without 2pair+, you could however be calling his raise and shoving the turn with a much wider range of hands.

c/r turn is not an option, if this is a flush draw raising the flop for a free card you're letting him play the hand perfectly by checking in front on the turn. And you have no clubs that will boat you, meaning, he can't catch a card that makes his hand that counterfeits it at the same time. If he catches it's game over. Free card on the turn in this pot is bad mojojojo.

Edit:
Ditto for straight outs if he's on the straight, or straight flush draws.

This looks like a no-brainer reraise. I would make it at least $120.

$120 with the idea that he can call and not be pot commited on the turn? I think if we're 3betting the flop here $145 seems about right, as we're putting him to a decision for all his chips (essentially).
