I raise it, and if he 3 bets, I cap, if he checks the turn, I attack

You think he 3-bets air?

nope, but there's also a chance for smaller pp or jack w/bad kicker folding.well you can use the cap to see a free turn card (hopefully), play it how you like.

I normally raise, bet/fold turn UI and check behind on the river.If we get 3-bet I give an unknown credit for a J or an 8 and fold the turn unimproved. Probably don't even have the odds to call the 3-bet, but I don't like raise/folding hu.Edit: And at 1/2 6-max I don't think we'll fold a better hand often enough to try.

This is how I play it too. Don't forget to make a note of the hand villain is donking with.

the problem with raising is that villian could be easily playing a draw fast, and you may get pushed off the best hand.i could see a case for all 3 options. usually i fold though

[AlphaOmega 0]

At 1/2 I think this should be a raise. Often it will be a draw, and sometimes a dubious one (like an ace high draw). I'd fold to a three-bet, and if he donks the turn I'd be inclined to call down on most turn cards to see what he's got, also expecting to win enough to profit.

[Zach6668 513]

Yeah, I don't even remember how I played this one, but I know I did fold at some point, and I was really disastisfied with not getting to showdown, or at least unsure about whether I could possibly be ahead or not.

you can just about always possibly be ahead in any hand.

Well, yeah, but I think you get my point about this one. A lot of you guys are making sure that we are beat by raise/folding, or just calling down. I didn't do either.

i think with the other player present behind you, you have to fold. best case, you raise, player behind you folds overs, and you get HU with a draw that youre probably 50/50 with, and he decides not to put any more pressure on you. worst (and more likely case), is that you are drawing to 2 outs.
