Hi all, my first post!

This is 5th hand in game, villain 3betted me preflop on first hand and raised all BTNs. I check/raised flop in previous hand and he folded. Don't know anything else about him. This is second time we see a flop.

Was it a fold somewhere?

If you dont think he has a king or a 6, (presumably thats why u called the raise on the flop), then the 3 on the turn is a great card for you, and you should raise. If he re-raises you fold. as played, i fold the river as it looks like a value bet. tbh tho ur opp played this hand horribly, and prob doesn't know what a value bet is

readless.. i'd fold flop. you're risking so much for no reason.. you can definitely find a better spot than this to commit as many chips as you did.. so many turns are gonna be awful cards for you... btw, dont show results in you're post

villain has a strong line and I doubt someone at the 2$ has the ballz to do that with air.

also do not post result ever ,not even as spoilers.

fold flop , you only have 2 outs to improve , and if you call flop you will ahve to fold when he will bet again on later streets.

if you had some very strong reads on villain maybe you could reraise him all in on flop if you believe he has air.

I didn't raise turn because he bet less than half pot and it looked more like an air or draw. But folding flop probably was best option.

Thanks for replys

I agree on folding flop with no reads early on. Raising the turn sounds okay but if you had the read that he was betting air why not raise the flop to prevent him from binking an overcard on the turn? On river I def fold though 3 barreling air is pretty unlikely in the micros.

You should fold flop with no reads, and later in match or vs a known opponent you have to raise turn if you flat him on the flop (if you think he has pure air or a heart draw for instance...or if you think you can make him fold better hands (pp's for instance)
He has a strong line, and before looking at the results I was thinking he had a K...
