Villian is 74/0/.44 for 27 hands. Is the pot (5.5 BB) small enough to just fold here or do I have to call down?

Re: Heads Up - What\'s My Turn/River Line Here?
 

Instead of calling down on the river, I'd raise the turn folding to a 3-bet. Sometimes the person will have you beat and miss a river check-raise where you'll just check behind.

Re: Heads Up - What\'s My Turn/River Line Here?
 

What makes you think you're behind?

The guy plays 3/4 of all his hands. He may not be smart enough to checkraise with a set, so that's still in the mix, as is any 3, 6/5, A/5 and weakly played 10/10-A/A. But everything else you're crushing.

I raise here and see what happens. I don't think I could even fold to a 3-bet though. His range is just too wide.

27 hands isn't much time at the table with this guy. If you knew he was not aggressive over a couple hundred hands, even, I'd say to call down. As it is, I think you raise and see what happens.

I think I'm behind because my (very weak) stats indicates he's passive.

So if I raise the turn what's the consensus for how to react to a re-raise. I'm inclined to fold to a re-raise.

What if I raised and am called and then bet into on the river? Should I just call the river.

In my experience, passives love to bet into you with a hand they perceive as "strong", like top pair on this board. he could have trips, but there are a lot of other hands you're way ahead of.
if he 3bets, that's another story: that's pretty unusual behavior, and i'd probably fold.

Re: Heads Up - What\'s My Turn/River Line Here?
 

His double donk reaks of a weak hand not wanting to give a free card. No way i fold here. Besides the fact that i think going to showdown here has a positive expectation finding out what the retard will donk two streets with is good info to have. He might be doing this with anything from quads to complete air and i want to know what he has. Sounds like every time your in a hand this guy is gonna be right there with you so lets find out how he plays.

Re: Heads Up - What\'s My Turn/River Line Here?
 

IF you raised and were called on the turn, you gotta call the river. The pot's too big to fold then.

Re: Heads Up - What\'s My Turn/River Line Here?
 

So the line is to raise the turn and then call the rest of the way no matter what?

If i raised the turn and i wouldn't my cards would hit the muck before his 3-bet hit the table. You have a showdown hand and can't possibly put the goofball on a hand so lets just get to showdown here.

I would bet the river if checked to.
