    Default Hows my 3-bet sizing?

    Villain is a fearless 42/20 who c-bets 100% of the time.

    Also.. WTF on that little bet? Can Hero call and evaluate turn here?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    MP2 ($2.74)
    MP3 ($2.15)
    CO ($1.30)
    Button ($3.86)
    SB ($0.78)
    BB ($1.47)
    UTG ($2)
    UTG+1 ($1.38)
    Hero (MP1) ($2.10)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A, K
    UTG bets $0.08, UTG+1 calls $0.08, Hero raises to $0.28, 7 folds, UTG+1 calls $0.20

    Flop: ($0.67) 4, 7, 8 (2 players)
    UTG+1 bets $0.26, Hero ?

    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    You could be ahead or drawing to 6 outs against a pair. You just about have the pot odds right now to draw to a pair. So you can definitely call. Possibly you could raise as a bluff, but I like calling. The way to exploit people who bet too small is to call with draws. You have a draw to top top.

    with those type of "draws" you always have to worry about Reverse Implied Odds

    I think flatting is weak here. Given your read raising isn't bad, but it's completely unnecessary at 2nl.

    At NL2, I personally just fold here. You can rarely predict what he will do to your raise. He could just call you with absolutely any two cards. I'd wait for a better spot.

    pre i would just 3bet to .2 or .22, i have seen that the bigger the reraise the more they call. cant explain why. if you know for sure he's 100% cbetting, flat here and see turn. fold unlles a K/A comes, if it does and he shoves also fold.... they mostly take this line for sets. its 8/10 a set if he shoves turn K/A
