Hand at local game. UTG Villain unknown but seems kind of fishy/splashy. I am sitting with 105bb and Villain has around 85bb.
UTG villain opens to $15
We are MP with QcQd and 3bet $55
folds around UTG calls.
Flop
8h 9h 8d
UTG checks. I raise to 3/4 pot and villain calls.
Turn 3c
UTG checks and I raise to a bit over 1/2 pot and villain raises 3x my raise. (villain only has around 25/30bb behind at this point?)
Hero??
Bet 1/2 on the flop, so you can bet around that on the turn w/o being committed. If you don't have history w/ your opponent here, and you really think he's just a fish, then I don't hate the large bet, but anything 1/2 pot or larger you bet on the turn you're committing yourself. I think w/ only 85bbs to start, shoving turn is ok versus his range. Punch it up... what will he have there?
