This feels like a slow play to me. I don't have any reads on villian. Anything different I can do in this hand?

i fold in this spot too. a set is very possible for villain. there's not many reasonable hands he would play this way that doesn't have you beat.

I would say too large of a turn bet, as in you should check behind. If villain raised PF, called your re-raise, and called a pot sized bet on this flop, I am checking behind this turn 100% of the time. Check the turn, and call a decent sized bet on the river UI (unimproved).

Edit: Yes, he could hold AK /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, so keep that in mind, but I still don't bet here.

Yea I was thinking that too but wasn't sure. I guess the way behind or way ahead rule is in effect here right?

Yeah, with the exception of AK /images/graemlins/diamond.gif or now TT, it seems that it is.
