HU cash $0.25/$0.5

SB/BTN HERO $67 [Kd,Td]
BB VILLAIN $55

Hero raises $1.5, VILLAIN reraises $5.5, HERO calls
(pot: $10.45)

FLOP: 2s 4c Th
VILLAIN insta-bets $8, HERO calls
(pot: $25.65)

TURN: 8h
VILLAIN insta-bets $30
HERO ???

(VILLAIN - $11.60 left behind)
(HERO - $53.5 left behind)


When he sat at my table, it seemed he knew how to play. Folding to my button raises, raising in position (but folding mostly) and immediately reloading to full stack (just as I did). Not many flops were seen and few flops he decided to play - he played extremely weak. Somewhere in the middle of the game an idea popped:" He's afraid of postflop! His game revolves around taking pots preflop!". However since I was not playing ordinary donk and since he was pretty tight for HU standards, I didn't really feel like making some crazy bluffs.
After 15 min or so, as my button PFR approached 90% he started to play back by 3betting me preflop. Most of the time I gave up, but on two occasions I looked him up and he immediately let the pot go. Slowly I was getting a feeling he's sick of me shamelessly abusing the button and that he was semi-tilting a little.

Then the ^^^ hand came. Based on how he played it felt kinda weird seeing him insta-betting, since he usually took at least second or two. So lets say <insert Obi Van's voice here>:"I feel disturbance in The Force".

 No way you can fold, if he hasnt been threebetting light though don't call pre. I also don't mind raising the flop, it just depends on where this guy is aggressive and where he's stationy also.

Some explanations:

*** I called pre cause:
- KTs is big hand against light 3bettor playing back at button PFR 90%
- he's weak postflop
- I have position

*** I called flop cause:
- I have TP - not much, but also not bad for HU
- his bet is either overpair vbet or air (overs maybe) - why loose him if I'm way ahead
- even for light 3bettor K is significant part of his range - he has less outs and if K falls he's stacking off
- I was suspicious of weak postflop player suddenly going lionheart
- I got the impression "the pressure point" for this hand is yet to come - so I wanted to see what he does on turn ... and turn is extremely weird

My thinking ^^^ fine?



As played this is shove, right?

 Yeah seems like you have a good grasp of the hand. The weak postflop thing scares me but I just can't fold this to a light threebettor.

I don't understand why you can't fold here. Even if he is three betting light, if this is the first time he has come alive post flop what is the crime in folding here? Seems like you would be going against your read.
