Villain was table bully with that stack. Whats the move on the turn? Whats his betsizing mean here normally? He obviously has something to call the flop re raise but his lead of 200 is weird on the turn. What do you think guys? Give us a line check also please.

    I'd raise more on flop like 2000.

    Turn really weird, worse card you can see lol, just call and hope he bets small/checks river.

    raise size on flop is good imo

    meh I prob call and call or vbet small on most rivers

    someone who limpcalls, minbet/calls, donk min bets just strikes me as bad, hes not playing very aggro in this hand for a table bully

    Yep, sorry. Lack of info on my part. I had not seen him do this before, he was splashing around in plenty of pots and i dont think anyone else had a stack of his size on the table if memory serves me correct. He was normally pushing the action and then he does this.

    To be honest, on the flop i put him on a draw, or he wants to see a cheap showdown with 2nd pair or something, hence the raise. It was just a weird line by villain and it has been playing on my mind all day so thought i would let you guys have a look.

    I'm not sure about such a large raise on the flop as 2000. I was worried about 10,J getting there on the turn or even K,Q but wanted to keep those hands in but giving the incorrect odds, which i did. Unfortunately both those kind of hands got there and he min raises again. Why would he do that after i had shown such strength on the flop? Doesnt make sense.

    i think your play on the flop is good. i would call the turn as a k is possible for a lose player and then call the river if its below 1000

    id say below a larger amount than that ur asking for 1/4 pot odds to make the call. not going to happen often.

    I'd just want to get to showdown as cheaply as possible here, tbh. Looks like he's just a bad player rather than aggressive, but hate the king. he's bound to turn over K5o or something...

    If i just call, will that not show weakness on my part? Am i just turning my hand in to a bluff catcher? He could shove river with air after my weak call and i am left with a real tough decision. If he is still drawing, by just calling turn i am giving him the correct odds for him to hit. What do you think?

    I think raising the turn would be suicide. Use your position to your advantage and just flat turn.

    If you raise the turn you are essentially bluffing. Just flat his redic 200 bet and decide on the end. He could easily hae the nut str8 already. the only drawy hand he could hae is 34 hearts? lol

    When a bully starts min betting alarm bells hae to ring surely.

    such a stupid bet on turn,oppo ain't got a clue tbh
     either a bad blocker bet or oppo has the str/2 pr or weak Q

    either way just flat and call any stupid river bet
