Ok so you raise, he calls, you?

What's he do on the turn? That's the important part now.

If he fires again on the turn, I'm gone. If he checks, I bet 3/4 of the pot.

But to be honest, unless he goes to showdown a lot, I don't think he's going to just call here. He's going to fold or raise. If he has less than 2 pair, he's folding - that straight is just too frightening. If he has 2 pair or bigger, he's raising, and probably pushing.

I think the most important thing to consider is what he's 3-betting PF with. If he was a solid player he'd have JJ+ or AK. You'd be splitting at best and most likely crushed. Even giving him a very wide range of 99+ or any two broadway cards (which is more likely), you're in pretty deep fertilizer. 90% of this beats you.

Edit: I just Poker Stoved this. You're actually a coinflip with this range. But you're still very vulnerable.

The main purpose of the raise on the flop is to snap off his c/b with a small pocket pair. Which is why it's somewhat of a toss-up decission - it all depends on how likely he is to fold with a hand other than the straight.

There's not enough information here to talk about postflop. 44/18/5 is nowhere near good enough a read to take a calldown strategy on a board like this with TPTK. If you knew he would fire on all streets as a bluff (or semibluff with a QT/KT/TT type hand or spades), this might be a viable strategy. If you don't know, you need to show some aggression and figure out where you are.

Show aggression? We can't even assume hes looser and more aggressive than most? How many hands before we can?

Anyhow I hate raising the flop because he will call with a ton of hands, some of which are drawing very live, some of which have me dominated, I think building the pot OOP here is just plain bad.

He'll call 9 times out of 10 on the flop and bet the turn when we check which leaves us folding most turns.

Damn...so you are [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]. Wish you could still see the original post when replying to follow-up posts lol.

Ok then, he calls. With a 5.0 AF (an barring any other notes or reads) he's raising with 2-pair or better, so I'm going to guess this indicates a flush draw or something like QT. So I bet/fold here. Block the river when the flush hits.

So check/call flop and lead turn. IMO, reads based on PT numbers are almost completely useless past the flop.

I like this line followed by a fold to raise and checkfold that river. I think PT numbers are very valuable if you use PA HUD. Seeing that a villain raised 25/40 flops that he's seen for instance is enough for me to assume he bets when checked to. Also, seeing a much lower turn number 8/30 tells me he slows down when his flop bets are called w/o a hand.
