Villain was the standard passive kind of loose player you find at this level. His 3 betting range isn't super wide but probably not super shallow either. I really wanted to get away from this, but I was also a little tilty

if he's passive then I'd check flop. He likely doesn't have a hand you can get 3 streets from, and I'd rather get it on turn/river after evaluating his turn play.

if I did bet it'd prob be to bet/fold depending on sizing/timing/feel

him c/raising flop and shoving turn I'd fold to the shove. I'd even fold on the flop most likely. He clearly has a really strong hand here and wants to get it in. If you're calling the flop you should expect to call the turn if a blank card hits.

I just find it so hard to fold good hands in these low buy in heads up. I see so much random crap that has no business in the pot but gets all in anyhow that this fold is way harder in the $20s than the $100s.

You agree with me but you still think I should fold? What is your reasoning?

there is no way in hell that i will ever int his lifetime fold this, not on the low buyins and sure as hell not in a higher buyin.

that was a lot of hells but needed to get across that folding imo is a huge spew
