Is calling down the standard play here? What do you make of villain's bet?

[mantasm]

Much of the time he'll be slowplaying a K, some of the time he'll have another pocket pair or a 7 or 5 or nothing. I would call down just about every time here.

I think I'd raise again on the turn. This has happened to me a lot and its almost always complete BS. He probably has something like A7 and thinks his hand is good. Raising may be too aggressive, but at minimum I'd definately call this down HU. Why wouldn't he c/r you on the turn with a K? Why wouldn't he wait untill the river and c/r you if he thinks your aggressive?

[chief444]

I think if I was going to continue it would be with a turn raise and that would be the last money I put in barring a 9 on the river.

[mantasm]

Why not showdown your hand for the same price? If you raise, a bluff may fold instead of betting again and some players may even 3 bet you with something like A7 or 88.

so you'd raise the turn and check behind on any river card besides a 9????

Why? I think this line has merit when there are viable draws villain could be betting as a semi-bluff, but this line stands to get the least from a courageous 7, and lose the same amount to a K.

So I doubt if his hand includes a 5 or 7.

I'm thinking a better pocket pair may fold. And if he's betting with A-high for whatever reason I don't mind him folding that. I don't believe he has a K. The stop and go to me though looks like a better hand without a K and for the same price as calling down I'd rather give him a chance to fold. Am I way off on my read here?

Villian just cold called an open raise, he can't be that good of a player. But this read does mean he probably doesn't have a 5 or a 7 as you say. I think given the read I like what your saying. If he is a decent player, there is not much he cold calls with here. Maybe he's timid and cold calling with TT or JJ or something in which case a turn raise might push him off a hand like that. At the worst, we probably can get a free showdown.

Its also possible he's way behind and we get him to fold, but I can't see a lot of hands he would have where this would be the case.

[chief444]

Nevermind what I said. I thought MP1 called and MP2 folded. I think calling down is fine.
