Anything to make of the weird $6 raise? Stacks are difficult in that it'll take too large a 3bet raise to setup a trivial stackoff postflop with an overpair (we'd have to go like $55 or so and I'm guessing that ain't gonna get much action). I'm not in love with our raise sizing as it'll create an SPR 8ish with us being OOP; at least if we were in position we could pot control and take stacks out of play postflop, but OOP he can easily make us play for stacks by just betting each street. With only 1 other guy in the pot, I actually might just flat preflop and play a small pot postflop with a disguised hand just 3ways where I don't put stacks in play postflop UI (which we really don't want to do unless we can get in a lot more money postflop). I'll definitely be in the minority on this and get flamed for that, but the deeper stacks become the more you can do stuff like this (and while we're not incredibly deep we're not short either).
Pretty craptastic flop. I'm fine with check/calling.
I actually don't mind our check/fold on the turn either. A 3bet is a 3bet is a 3bet, and that's what we did preflop, so our hand could be a little face upish, and yet this tight guy who hasn't gotten involved yet doesn't seem to care (even when we check/called the flop). When tight guys continue to put money into a pot versus a preflop 3better I think exiting at this point is ok on this gross a board.
