    I think I'd of folded here pre as well. But is there not an argument here for a 3-bet?

    3 bet bluffing tight UTG fish raisers who will fold to 3 bets around 10% of the time or less is really bad and even worse with a hand totally dominated by their opening/continuing range (which is essentially the same thing here) Please please don't do this!

    Don't think the flop call is terrible for this price given we're 150 deep with UTG and he has a pretty tight range fairly weighted towards overpairs. It's probably marginal but okay, would be better on a rainbow board obv.

    ok, I'm new to this forum and perhaps I'm misunderstanding something.. or misunderstand a lot lol... but a VPIP of 42 is tight?

    No a VPIP of 42 is not tight, but a PFR of 9 is very tight and that's what's relevant here since villaion opened from UTG and didn't limp. The 42 shows he plays a lot of hands but the 9 confirms he raises hardly any of them preflop, thus making his range in this specific hand tight.

    Just realised it was BB who led this flop and UTG merely called, don't think our implied odds are great vs UTG now and am down with just folding flop. BB is obv way too short to be calling gutters against here and our overcards are often tainted.

    No think it was the other way around, UTG opened, BB called.

    I see what you mean about UTG being tight now on opening, I hadn't really appreciated that before. Think I was focusing more on the number of hands folk were playing. I will definitely
    keep this in mind for future

    UTG opened pre, BB opened flop.
