I think I already know the answer to this question, but here goes anyway:

Stake: 1/2 NL
Effective Stacks: $200

It's probably hand 15-20 or so. Villain seems competent, but I don't have much information. He's raised a couple of times, and does seem to limp much.

Pre-flop
Hero (UTG+1): Raise 9,Td to 9.
Villain (CO): Calls

Flop: Tc, 7s, 3d
Hero: Bets 13
Villain: Raises to 32

It's a pretty dry board, it's early session, and I know it's generally not smart to make any spazzy bluffs at 1/2, however, what is repping? Obviously sets raise, as would A,T, but also possibly 8,9 since he has position.

If I call, what do I do on the turn? What cards am I looking for? I've showed strength from the UTG raise and the lead, so I think it's less likely that he's making a move on me. What do you guys think?

What good turn cards can I get? Also, what do you mean call flop, call turn and fold the river? What's the reasoning in calling the flop and turn, and then folding the river other than if you have the nuts?

folding can't be terrible here.

the board is dry but we don't know if villain likes to slowplay/fastplay sets and 2P or if he semibluffs with draws.

personally, i don't think there are enough draws in his range to justify calling. we're folding the best hand sometimes (to his air and 89) but i gotta think you're up against a bigger T and sets much more often.

Without stronger reads this is a fold IMO.

Well, I try to maintain a semi-aggressive image, and being that it's a hand that my opponents would not expect me to raise, plus the fact that I am aware of what flops I really want to see with it, I raise it. By the way, I was dealt it again later in the session in a similar position, and folded it, so it's only a 50% or so thing.

Even if your at a very passive table and know that no one is gonna raise, this is still a fold. And raising seems obsurd. An argument could be made if you were playing higher levels, like 5/10 or maybe a very good 2/5 table and u planned to be there for a long session, and you were very deep. But I still wouldn't.

pilot - I hear what you're saying, but there's no reason to be this aggro at 1/2 where villains will telegraph their hand strength to you preflop and on the flop when you are in position.

Make the raise here in late position.

This seems like time to die another day and fold.
