But you just said that he will barell his stack so it's bad to flat because you'll have to fold on turn...

Yea I put him on a range of hands that don't have much showdown value and just didn't want to give up (monkey
). Not my finest play, plan was to try and push him out of the hand on a bunch of turns since I was certain he wouldn't have much and would barrel his whole range on turn, but I was a bit tilted at that point. I certainly won't argue that it's a spewy call considering that my opponent is not b/f any pair on turn, but I thought it was a fun hand.
Last quoted post is so true especially against players like limppz0r.
