hate this AQ

Hi,

villain in this hand was playing 38/15/0,8 after 60 hands ... due to the very low agg factor I decided to fold my TP here and wait for better spot to take his money. I think versus this stats it is standart (maybe little on the nitty side) right ?

After this hand I checked his another stats in popup window, and I realized folding maybe was a mistake, because he has only 30% fold SB to steal, 0% fold BB to steal and c/r flop at 25% (2/7 including last hand) and I think this can tell us he is defending blinds like maniac. Also I dont expect passive player like him c/r here sets, two pairs so his hand looks like to a bluff and we should continue, do you agree ?

And my last question - if we decided to continue, do we 3bet here becuse of drawy board, or we just call in position, because we are probably way ahead/he is bluffing and let him do something stupid next street ?

Thank you for answers.

I dont like to use agression fractors to make decision, rather use agression frequency. Button vs SB this could very well be a bluff, especially, when you steal alot he has to put you on a wide range and checking this flop would be suicidal for him, but that also depends on how much credit you give villain. i think getting it in here is good with the image you have given of villain.

Btw where are you playing? The rake seems rather high. 21c for a 2.6 pot?

OnGame ... I hate this micro rake too, but I think it is the same on other sites isnt it ? Fortunately I have rakeback about 35%.

wat? Find a way to get it in vs this monkey. Re-raise is better becouse there are a lot of draws

Ipoker has 5% rake even on micros.

getting it in right away is the easiest way and probably best way to play it against this guy (3bet or shove).you can't really fold this against such a donkey who won't be able to fold a flushdraw on that board and so many weak aces and worse...
he basically almost never has a hand that beats you here once he c/r so big. not really a sign of strength in this situation.

Really, only AK, 2 pair, or a set beats you here... why aren't you reraising or shoving?

I find it interesting how people say nl25 is full of idiots because they always stack off with top pair but then everyone says to stack off against people with top pair because they're bad. Isn't that contradictory?.. I think the right move here is to fold unless he does that frequently. Shove turns this hand into a bluff, doesn't it?

board is really drawy, table is 3handed, its btn vs blind
