I probably just gii on the flop, but I like to gamble with these hands vs. average players.

Does this guy look like an OMC? A gambler?

As played, I give up or shove turn, but probably just give up.

Villain is a young black woman. No idea how she plays

I was thinking about shoving flop but it seems too much like a gamble. We are getting a decent price to see a turn in position. I think I'd lean more toward a shove if OOP

I know it's your second hand at the table but you still gave zero reads on villain or even who has the effective stack.

I *probably* get it in on the flop, but it's like playing blindfolded with the lack of details.

edit: Just saw post #3. All-in on the flop.

How can I have a read when I've seen one hand played and she folded pre. I also meant I'm the effective stack at $400 in the OP. Sorry if it was confusing

Well, the fact that V is a woman is read number one -- then you go from there. How old is she? What race? What's her vibe?

The minute I sit at a table, I categorize people based on these factors, plus how they are dressed, how they stack their chips, if they seem comfortable, etc.

The fact that V is a woman definitely makes me want to fold the turn -- but it also makes me want to gii on the flop

(BTW, I'm a woman.)

Pre should $20+, get value from the loose donks.

Flop bet bigger or check. Not really sure what to make of this flop x/r sizing. It's an annoying size.

^ This.

I fold turn.

Check flop against two ranges. It’s close but I think turn is a call. V would have likely donk-led her sets and two pair on flop. She could still be drawing. Turn is a brick and doesn’t change matters much.

Overall, we as the preflop raiser were just check/raised on the flop with another player still to react. This is typically ~nuttish, and even moreso going with a purely sexist read as opponent being a woman (who I default to be less likely of making a move; if opponent turns out to be Java, obviously adjust read ). So I'm not pumped at all about getting it in on the flop, especially for these stack sizes (might think different at like 66bbs, but not at twice that).

So I'm fine with flop and would now fold the turn.

Try to get her to show her hand (*tap table* "nice bluff" as you fold will sometimes do the trick) and adjust reads accordingly.

Well played. Give up turn unless you think spiking the A or Q gives you the lead.
