it depends on how ur image is as well
in this spot it is best to fold
but u dont say how the hand was played preflop and how much the raise was in comparison to the stack so it is not easy to say what u should do here

If I were playing that table it would depend on my read of the player.

You have the over-pair but there are quite a lot of possibilities with this flop, straight draw or a set, even a higher over-pair KK / AA. You bet 1/2 pot and get re-raised ... that should make you cautious but a call is correct you could make a higher set or top the straight

Would be interesting to know more detail like your read on your opponent etc

In that case my opponent was a Donk.,,,He could have anything,,.,But anyway he had 10 J and I lost my stack..,,..

But I just wondered what is the right thing to do if the opponent is a normal player

Overly simplistic answer:

Against a tight player, fold.

Against a donk, call.

Against most decent players, you're usually drawing here, against (AA, KK, JT, JJ, TT, 44). Until you have enough information to know who's a donk and who's not, assume that they have the goods. If you or villain has few chips left, it's an easy call, if you're both deepstack or midstack, more than 15 BB, I would fold.

Most likely you are ahead, not always, but you probably are in this case.

push push push if its low buy in $5 donkeyfest cash game.

Obv if its higher limit maybe you are not in front - but you hardly give enough info for me to make a good calc or decision anyway.

simple really, no read, no call. For all you know this guy may have folded the last 100 hands and now has something big
