F### this guy, I'm never folding. Flat his check raise, and shove when he leads the turn.

If V flopped back-to-back sets or something, then I'm going to pay the man.

Don't bet so much on the flop, I wouldn't fold flop in either spot. Might be bad, but I see villains check raise worse Aces all the time. If the pot is 30, I'd bet something like 20.

Both cases flat flop, ship turn. Period

3! to $185 both times.

Why?

You say the guy has been "running good" since he sat down an hour ago, and you somehow don't even have any extra info on him? How did he win that money? How did he play? That's seriously a problem if you can't even get a general feel for a guy an hour after he sits down.

I'm probably calling both check/raises since we're in position (and reeval on turn, mostly GII if bet into, maybe check back if checked to to induce). These boards are dry, and pretty hard to flop a monster other than a set on. There's just too many top pair combos he could hold that we really can't fold a certifiable monster in our range. I know this is LOL LIVE POKER and unexploitability takes a back seat, but we just have so much hand.

But seriously, zero reads on a dude other than "running like god" is terrible. The fact that we folded hand 1 may be proof in the pudding that the dude is just running over clowns and they're letting him.

Need more of a description of his "run good." I am probably not folding to either flop check raise. Whether to 3 bet or not depends on whether you think he is capable of this with air, if so just call, if not, click it back / call.

If you can only buy in for 200 and he has 600 he's been running well. But you can see that that doesn't describe anything at all about how he plays poker.

The other day someone flopped a set five our of six hands. The person never bluffed and only showed the nuts. The last time Villain check-raised and my friend called saying he can't have it every time. But of course Villain did, because every hand went to showdown and Villain never bluffed.

Has Villain's hands at showdown been mostly pocket pairs, broadway cards, suited connectors? You must have some hint about how Villain is playing.
