I would raise the flop

What draw were you referring to?

With that flop I don't think it's worth getting broke this early.

[J-Lo]

If i raise to 300 i have ~500 left.... do i fold if he bets anymore-- what about keeping the pot small by calling down? Weak bets on turn after scare cards lead me to believe they are on a draw usually-- or the scare card DID scare 'em.

he called my turn push and had me outkicked.

Flop is fine, but I fold the turn.

If he comes back over the top on the flop then you can fold because of your kicker problem.

Keeping the pot small would be nice, but you're ahead of his hand range here. Don't forget that many players would go for a checkraise on this flop with a strong hand like two pair/set, so he's more likely to have a pair/draw when he's leading out with a pot bet like this.

Huh? I think you might have missed the draw we picked up. You're getting 4:1 on the dosh with an OESD and tpnk on the flop. I raise the flop and stop putting money in after. Calling isn't great on the flop because a billion cards confuse you, but if you did I think I just call the turn because of the nice odds you're getting. Pushing is meh in my opinion. Not terrible, but calling seems better.

I generally raise this flop, with a reverse implied odds hand. I make it t250, and generally expect to take this down.
