think about clicking call

Well whatever he has he played it weirdly, and since he makes weird plays he can have a very wide range. There's no way I'm folding the river.

Dont really know what to do on the turn though. Small bets often means a draw type hand (i.e AcX or KcX) which means a raise is in order, but you should make it at least $1 and deny him good odds.

river is a snap call played this way.

I would rr the turn bigger to at least .8, youre raise is to weak imo. If you go to .8 you know were you stand in the hand.

Plus i think to play save this is just a fold pf, if you have no idea what he is rr this with pf AQ can get you in difficult spots!

I don't think you should fold here for only 50cents but this kind of bet imo means some relatively strong non flush hand, like 2 pairs or maybe some complete draw like 57 so... maybe not the safest call but for this money def. worth it.

minraise back
oh he 3 bet u pre
just call and fuck it xD

A couple of you are saying my turn raise was too small. What's a good general guideline for determining raise sizing? This is something I have difficulty with.

rule of thumb: Small raise: half pot. Big raise: pot.

On the turn the pot is 0.75 and he bets 0.2 so after "calling" the 0.2 the pot is 1.15. Raising half pot means adding half the pot (0.6) ON TOP of that so a half pot raise would be 0.2+0.6=0.8 total. A pot raise is 0.2+1.15=1.35 total.

Above I wrote that you should make it at least 1 but I have to take that back to some extent, I must have been tired or something. 0.8 or bigger is fine imo.

EDITED

half pot is raise to 90c, pot = 1.35. 0,75+0.4=1.15 xD

it's .50 into a 1.75 pot, just call you're good here more than 1 every 4.5 times

Yep. My bad.

I guess I should mention that I snapcalled this, and he flipped over AcKc for the nut flush. Glad to see I'm not an idiot.

I'm calling here 100% of the time expecting to see him flip AKcc or something I'm crushing.
