Just keep folding forever till you get a top hand, or play back?

Ever heard of the reraise button?
If someone is spam stealing you definitely want to up your aggression with garbage but you chose the literal worst possible moment to apply pressure in the hand, apply it earlier

Yes, have you ever heard of floating with intent to bluff later streets?

So you can play every pot against one opponent in position and this is somehow a problem? Or what's the deal here?

I know postflop you can float but never heard of people doing that pre.

I thought your question was about the sb stealing your big blind, which you post preflop.

I would of led this flop - as played you raising the turn makes no sense so you're lucky he even folded.

Why does raising a turn make no sense? I literally have tons of examples of me, others, and pros raising the turn.

This doesn't really mean anything, most poker players are bad, including many pros

Kendoo and whitemares you are very wrong. There's many 9x hands in regular and good player's range that would flat both pre and flop, and raise turn. Very standard play to do that with 9x, as well as Kx. SO SO SO standard it makes the bluff believable. You both are leaving out a lot of winnings by just nut peddling blind vs blind.

Whole lot of assumptions here

Agreed, I have actually raised the turn before so I can confirm.

You're representing nothing - if you had a FH/9x you should be betting the flop vs any villain with half with a brain. If I was the villain and you raised that turn I'd call my entire value range and only fold diamond rivers (assuming I don't have one).

Its always the same with your posts: you post are very bad hand that you accentially won. You ask what to do - everyone tells you that you are making fishy plays and you dont believe.
You are one of the biggest fishes in this forum - so listen and learn

If SB is raising too much preflop then 3bet more with a wider linear range. The correct response to this is NOT to flat call a 3.5x sizing with 100% range - that's just torching money - nothing is in your favour apart from position. Your goal is to get him to steal less. If he catches you calling preflop with 42o that's hardly going to discourage him from stealing wide.

If you must have a stab, then stab the flop. But realise that you have flopped nothing and have basically a zero-equity bluff.

Turn card favours SB and you don't even have a flush draw or blocker of any type whatsoever. There might be spots where a raise could be a play here, but check back flop/raise unfavourable turn is unlikely to get many folds, it just looks fishy. Of course your hand is so weak that he might have been bluffing with something like 8-high and you've managed to get the best hand to fold that way. But in that case you'd have got the job done more cheaply with a flop bet.

It's basically really bad.

No your goal is to profit from his bad play.

I heard 2 schools of thought on this: 1 fight back, make a stand so he stops and 2 what you're saying, let him continue to play bad.

It's a very slippery slope to start making big strategic adjustments based on a few hands. Villain may have raised your blind three times in a row because he had a premium hand every time. If you are going to make massive deviations from basic strategy you need to be very sure of your reads, and in typical online games that won't be the case.

Basically this hand could only be justified if you had a very specific read on the opponent's tendencies. And it's very unlikely that you had such a read in your game. Whether you won the hand or not, your thought process in how you played it is not optimal.
