    Default Marginal hand facing pressure against loose aggro opp

    opp is 72/33/ after 40 hands. He seemed pretty aggro postflop, overbetting a lot and just betting much in general.
    I just called flop to give him some rope? Good/bad? What about turn? Easy fold, right? or am I missing value by not calling this aggro donk down?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($127.63)
    BB ($52.47)
    UTG ($107.95)
    Hero ($103.95)
    Button ($26.78)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with J, Q. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
    1 fold, Hero raises to $4, 1 fold, SB (poster) calls $3.50, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($9) 7, Q, 4 (2 players)
    SB bets $8, Hero calls $8.

    Turn: ($25) K (2 players)
    SB bets $30, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $55

    I think I call because overbets = bluffs.

    Success is how high you bounce after hitting bottom.

    Either raise the flop or call him down. When you say to yourself, "i am going to call this guy only so that he can bet the turn and hang himself' then you have to follow through. Me peronally tho, im reraising that flop 4x to get a read. I dont like to get my reads through calls.
    Me? I always tell the truth.

    Even when I lie.

    raising the flop is a bad idea. We want to let him keep bluffing into us.

    izybx, I understand why you want to raise the flop, but I dont think its a good idea - it folds out weaker hands and only gets called by stronger hands.
