There has to be a better line to take with this.
Villain is 20/9 or so over 30 hands. Hasn't shown anything out of line. I'm 11/4 over this period having been pretty card dead.
I briefly consider 3-betting preflop just to test what he has, but decide to call with position, hoping for a set or a favorable flop.
Stacks:
* MP1 with $26.10
* MP2 with $24.40
* CO with $22.90
* BTN with $18.55
* SB with $25.10
* BB with $14.95
* UTG with $17.65
* UTG+1 with $25.10
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
Site: pokerstars
* * Dealt to CO:T♠ T♣
* * Sklansky group 2
Preflop:
* * 3 players fold.
* * MP2 raises $0.75 to $1
* * Hero calls [$1]
* * 3 players folded.
* * Total folds this street: 6
* * Potsize: $2.35
Flop:
* * 8♠ 6♦ 8♣
* * MP2 bets [$1.75]
* * 3 players fold.
* * Hero ???
I don't expect A8 here, or 66 (at $25 mid/small pairs are usually only minraised by bad players preflop, very few full raise with these), or 79. That limits it to c-bet of a missed flop, or an overpair.
If I just call the flop, I'm giving overcards a chance to hit. If I reraise, am I committing my stack if I plan to call down with 2 streets of betting yet to come? What's the best line?
(HH converter note: 3 more players folded the flop after 6 folded preflop?)
