How do YOU act in these situations?

He could have you on overs and be playing you instead of his hand by agro betting. He could be on a draw and agro semi-bluffing. He could have TP.

What's important in spots like this is trying to have some kind of plan for the turn if you continue on the flop, whatever your action is.

This kind of hand shows up ever so often. That's why I was hoping for general advice. But I realize that this situation (like so many other Holdem situations) must me treated differently from time to time. All depending on your opponent, your read on him/her or stats on him/her. But if SA125 is right I'm quite satisfied. I always decide on the flop what this particular opponent might have and then make up my mind for future betting rounds. I'll often go for flopraise/freecard or flopraise/turnbet. Against more passive players (I think these players more often have a pair) I often choose a flopcall/turnfold or turnraise depending on what card shows up on the turn.

Btw, not being patronizing but your English is awesome. Better than a lot of native speakers (which is just begging someone to comb my post for grammatical errors).

Thanks! But remember, my native language is Swedish. I try to write as proper English as possible, but errors of all kinds will definitely show up in the future! By the way, 'thanks' is 'tack' in Swedish.

Tack!

my default is to call and fold the turn UI, but that strategy could probably be taken advantage of.


EDIT: against certain players it's "see you at showdown"

I've been thinking a lot about this subject over the night. I guess if you're not able to recognize when your overcards are safe it's probably best to fold...
