These guys have been driving nuts lately. Let's say you are in position versus opponent in the following hand. Usually the guys that make these bets are not good players so we will assume they have medium stacks. $1/2 NL Hero $200, Opp $130. I play 6max, but this probably applies at most games.
Hand 1: You have T9o on the button and open raise to $8. Only the BB calls. Flop is J-8-2 rainbow. Opponent bets $2. Hero raises to $15. Turn is the offsuit 4. Opponent bets $4 into a $40ish pot. Decision #1: Do you raise again or take the cheap card? I am not sure what to do b/c the pot-odds are stellar, but he's shown so much weakness I think I can take the pot with another raise. Say you raise to $30 and he calls. River is a 9. This gives you 2nd pair and doesn't complete anything but a gutter.
Decision #2: Opponent bets $20 ~ giving you 5 to 1 on a call. Call, Fold, or Raise?
Decison #2a:Opponenet checks. Check behind or bet?
