33 vs unknown bvb at 25nl

this hand is pretty reliant upon your betsizing soul read of an entirely unknown player. what makes you so sure he bets more with his monsters? you have no information to give you such a read. i'd fold pre personally but if you feel you can defend 33 OOP to a 3b then i suppose calling is ok.

The draw heavy flop. There's tons of flush and straight draws in my range here, ok I muck my unsuited connectors but I still have T9s JTs lots of Axs and other diamond combos. Why is he letting me see relatively cheap cards if he has me crushed?

I'd say it looks bad. But then again, I wouldn't be sure.

Is anybody just open folding this pre?

thats my point. this guy is entirely unknown. you are projecting your own poker knowledge and tendencies onto your opponent. you are talking about your range here as if he knows what your range is or is capable of reacting to what your range is. wayyyy too many assumptions for me here.

perhaps he sucks. perhaps he is projecting his poker knowledge onto you and wanted to set it up to go in over three streets for you to hero-call small pairs against him, knowing you would C/R all your sets and nut hands (because that's what he'd do)
