    what is wrong with preflop??

    - on the flop I would cbet more and call this raise, and c/f this turn
    - I don't think 3betting flop is good w/o reads

    Flop raise doesn't look strong imo. This is some bs top pair hand and sometimes midpairs VERY often and also some fd's.

    Turn sucks completely. I don't mind checking and re-eval, but I couldn't fault you for shoving either.

    Yep, since he minraised the flop its like weak top pair reaaally often i think. Since he is a fish i like the 3b coz hes never folding and the turn just blows. I guess his timing when he called ur 3b would also be a pretty strong indicator of what he had. I like a check/re eval on the turn but mostly folds i think.

    i don't think shoving is all that bad here....c/folding seems meh. Fish can have 88-99/A6 and flushdraws that play this way.
    Family Cruise IMO

    Yeah I'd probably shove.

    What do you guys think about the flop 3bet?

    I think the flop 3b is sweet. Turn isn't a great spot as his range is pretty heavily weighted to Tx, i would probably shove myself. Might be inclined to c/c if he bets pretty small with the reasoning that he could have 77-99, very occasionally JJ.

    you need to just commit yourself on flop. if he does have tp (which he's repping) he still has likely 25% equity vs your hand on this board + position + a psb whcih he is going to have a small edge putting in vs you despite being a fish because your hand is so vulnerable.

    just make the flop 23$ so that you can never fold and he can make a larger mistake or forfeit his 25% pot equity.

    as played id b/f 8 bucks or something
