Think I'd play it the same way, your flop and turn line look very strong and that you have two pair or better. If they are a reg, they will know this and also know that jamming over your turn cbet would be stupid as a bluff to get you to fold these hands.

For that reason, I expect to see AJ or better here quite often, and the odd time we'll see something like 86ss or the like (think that calls though).

His turn raise is a bit insane. While I can see villain taking such a line as a bluff, I don't think I see the average reg villain taking this line as a bluff with enough combos to make you indifferent to calling since there aren't that many combo draws. Yeah I'd fold.

While it's somewhat close I don't think it's a 'pussy fold'. Also, it might not be the best idea to use highly judgemental words to describe situations that are
volitile enough by their very nature (like poker hands affected by variance etc.) because this might inhibit your ability to evaluate them objectively. In other words, it doesn't matter if it's a 'pussy, weak, hero or epic' fold but if the EV of it was higher than the EV of other options.

Thanks!

You know, if people started using these terms like 'pussy fold', 'aaaaand he folds.. like a bitch' etc etc in their Twitch streams, poker really could become great again! Laugh

Well, there's a fine line between what's best for entertainment and what's best for your EV Laugh Also, I think there's plenty of what you're describing in Lex Veldhuis's stream.

If we expect him to shove sets on the flop it's tough to find much that he's repping on the turn, but I would still fold at 20NL. Just don't expect to see many overbet turn bluffs at these stakes.

AJ is all that really makes sense, but BvB I guess he's assuming you're bluffing more often so maybe will play a set this way.

Do we really need to raise the flop though? I'm hating life if he repops.
