MP2 is loose and somewhat aggressive. Given that read I think this is straightforward but does anyone let this go on the turn raise?

Given your read, I like your play.

not knowing if this player bluffed in the past, i would have folded on the turn. i assume people have learned their lesson on $1/2 that you will get called to the river most of the time by someone for any reason, like just because they want to see your cards.

(i know i have learned my lesson. Tried about 10 times and got called to the river every time and lost to bottom pair or worst. ie: As button on $1/2, i tried to bully the blinds with K8o, got called to the river, and lost to Ace high.)

when my bet gets raised at micro and small stakes tables, i assume they have something good (but not necessarily the nut hand).

then again, i've only been playing online for &lt;1000 hands.
