I figured out how to post hand histories using the converter by typing it out manually. If anyone else wants to know how to do this let me know.

Anyways what do you think about how I played this hand? The guy I'm playing against focuses on my cards and pays less attention to what it looks like he has. He doesn't donk bet often either. He played quite passively toward the beginning of the game, but toward the end he started getting more aggressive and started bluffing.

    My thoughts are,
    I re-raise:
    If he has 5x or over pairs he would probably call the flop and check it down to the river unimproved. With 3x he'd probably re-raise or make an unlikely call where later he would try and get some value. Draws would call and only bet later if they hit.

    I call:
    He barrels the turn with 3x, draws, and sometimes 5x, overpairs, and seldom pure bluffs. He may also give up a portion of the time.

    I felt like it was close to either re-raising or calling. Was my re-raise size too small? What would you have done?

    what you did was fine as you opted to protect your hand, but once you do that his bluffing range narrows down to next to nothing and you are potentially missing out on a value from him firing off

    I like raising here, op almost never donks 3x that sizing. There are lots of draws which should donk/call flop and maybe later streets. Your sizing looks to small, 285 seems fine for me.
