uh oh- I got a call. Now what?

[jsnipes28]

I had seen UTG villain minraise a draw earlier in session so after his minraise i wanted to get it heads up. Villain who bet out is a huge calling station but typical in that he was pretty passive and folded to agression most of the time. Even though i thought he was on a draw i still wasnt thrilled about playing a big pot OOP w TPGK against a villain who could have me crushed. That being said i dont think i can fold the flop

this just doesnt feel right being so agressive with TKGK in a pot that wasnt raise pf.

might be on the flush draw, or hit the 2pr.

[jsnipes28]

I know, but do you want to just call the minraise then and do what on the turn?

[nietzreznor]

I probably bet a little more on the turn (like $30 or so).

On river it depends on if this guy is aggro and will bluff missed draws. The flop isn't TOO draw-heavy, I might bet 1/3-1/2 pot and hope to get called by a weaker J or whatever, and folding to a raise.

Your line isn't bad though, checking river is great if you think he has a draw most of time and he can bluff; but you can probably extract a bit more out of a weaker J if he has that.

i'd just call. he's got something, decent chance we're WB.

c/f turn.

i realize that im a supa nit, but i fold to this mini raise a high % of the time on the flop. if i decide to call i 2/3 pot the turn and give up from there. as played i dont see how u can call this river...

[jsnipes28]

As i played, i agree i should have bet more on turn. Does anyone think a blocking bet would have been better on the river to keep him from making a huge river bluff that would have been hard for me to call?

Beavens- it just seems hard for me to grasp that after a minraise who i suspect is on a draw and a calling station who i am certain i have beat here like 80-85% that i should call 3 and let two players try and outdraw me for a pretty decent sized pot. If i do call, and SB checks should i fire 1/2 3/4 pot and fold to raise?

if you suspect he's on a draw, the raise the flop and pot the turn.

you bet less than half the pot on the turn which will hardly scare away a drawing hand.
