raise pre
absolutely mandatory flop raise
AP flop, don't raise turn
yes call now bc 33/55 seem very unlikely to bet 30% otf

I'm glad you gave the spoil because this is very telling of the typical regs on wpn.

Raise pre. But I can see why you called when a dude's got higher 3b than pfr LOL. Sorry for the run bad. It's rigged - obviously....

^^^^^

Punish the 1/3 bet otf w/this hand. Also raise with stuff like 78dd/KJdd and other good bd hands.

I'm not sure RWE's reasoning for calling turn but mine's pretty simple. I'm going to have a ton of hands here that are going to want to just call so I'm throwing in my strong hands as well.

If you're going to raise turn, raise bigger. Giving your opponent direct odds to draw at hands isn't how you win at poker.

Hand should've been over preflop and there are mistakes postflop. This hand isn't run bad.

Agreed I should have raised PF.. normally I do. I was messing with some different calling ranges this session.

Raise top pair isn’t something I normally do here but I can see the logic given he can be doing this with draws so why let him have such a good price.

I think Turn raise yes I need to work on sizing. I picked up in a training video once raise 2x on turns but I can see the logic behind maybe 2.5x

It means, don't minraise.

OP, what is villain's fold to 3bet percentage?

He was a recreational player, only 52 hands. Definitely most times I’m 3 betting here was just messing with some different call ranges this session. My 3bet % through 88k hands is 9%

As for Turn Raises I’m going to fix this part of my game.

Question behind the question is, do we want a polarized preflop 3-betting range versus this villain. My population read on recreationals is they call too much, so my answer is no.

Since villain is raising wide, and we don't want a polarized 3! range (and therefore a calling range between bluffs and raises) I would definitely 3-bet AQo.

The 2 things you did which made the hand more difficult than it needed to be:

1. Not 3-betting pre
2. Min raising the turn, as now we don’t know if vils 3-bet is because of strength or just because you showed weakness from your raise size
