No HH for this one but here's the situation:
Raise UTG with A
2
4
K
(10 handed)
Loosish BTN calls
Loose preflop BB calls
Both pretty passive dudes
Flop
4
7
J
BB leads
i put him on range of mainly flush or combo draws and sets/two pair with low draw. I suspect he wants me to raise so he can 3 bet, which is why he has led rather than gone for the checkraise.
Not doing great against that range, plus my pair of 4s means i can now be counterfeited, and I don't see much merit to raising to even give him the satisfaction of the 3! he wants to put in. So i only call.
BTN folds (unfortunately)
Turn 7
Board 4
7
J
7
BB bets again.
Seems like this smashed him for high and I can only win half.
It's a HU situation now, so should I call to try to get my money back?
In my opinion, no, but just checking up.
As an important aside, how many bets should the pot be on the turn to call here and do better than breakeven?
This type of situation happens quite often when I play, especially when the full ring games have nitted up and we see a lot of HU and only 3 way pots. So I thought it should be worth posting, to help me and others who will get in this spot.
