PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

SB ($282.55)
Hero ($296.75)
UTG ($189)
MP ($200)
CO ($68)
Button ($94.85)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6, 4.
UTG raises to $6, 4 folds, Hero calls $4.

Flop: ($13) 7, 3, 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $6, UTG raises to $14, Hero ???

villain is taggish. Who calls? I've seen villain sometimes raise with air. I've been aggressive post flop and been betting hard...I bet flop small here to look like I was donking a draw expecting a reraise . He re-raised as expected, now I really would expect a fold if I 3 bet him, but my hand is vulnerable to a flush/action killer.

he did raise UTG, so it's probably a decent hand considering his image. He probably pushes flop if we raise with an overpair, but we lose value from anything else by 4betting. Also, the minus of my small flop bet really screams monster if I end up 4 betting... so I guess maybe I shoulda bet more like $10-$12

Seems like a call right? My hand is totally disguised, but he may fear a set. You'd have to lead the turn right if we just call?

What if the flush hits, how do you act?

lead like 9-11 dollars.

This is definitely a flop 3-bet, think of his range: tons of overpairs, overcards and FD, and some other crap. Most of them are stacking off on the flop if they're stacking off at all.

Oh yeah and i fold pre usually unless i know the guy very well.

I was running over the table, so a2c seemed good in a lot of pots...thats why the PF call. against a stronger game I fold it -- weakness of table is important factor.

the more i think about it leading for $10 seems important. But I am much more interested in the decisions besides the flop bet amount and PF call.

one thing leads to another...regardless, as played we're strong but vulnerable, so this is an auto 3-bet for me. I'm quite happy with taking the pot down here if I can.

Deanglow is on a distinguished road
3-bet now for scare cards. Any 6,4, 7, possible overcard to his overpair, or a heart kills action. Bet $10 and the flop and raise to $38 as played.

a small 3 bet or a bigger lead looks good to me.
