Message: [QUOTE="GreenDaddy1, post: 5629746, member: 337531"] Agree pre flop could be a call or a 3 bet. Usually I'd want make the decision based on the villain's stats. I don't want to 3 bet some mega nit, do want to 3 bet a reg who overfolds to 3 bets based on a solid sample, and definitely want to 3 bet a weak player or fish to isolate them. But you have no info... so I'd be very tempted to just call. I am definitely C betting on that flop. You have top pair, a draw to a full house and backdoor draws galore. Yes the flop does hit plenty of your opponents range, particularly drawing type hand, but this is even more reason to make him pay to continue! I think here delay C Betting has made you look weak when the turn card is such a dud. And it is not a strong bet amount. Now villain might not only be reraising some slow played strong hands (never how I'd play them, but of course some people like to think they are tricky), but also might feel he can bluff you off either a draw or a middle pair type hand... or a weak top pair hand. As played, I typically just file turn reraises under 'strong hand/usually not a bluff'. I fold it and move on against an unknown unless I can justify I have the odds to call based on any outs I have to the nuts. Calling another .90 to win 4.65 does not look awful, but you'd need 8 solid outs to even make that a 50/50 shot. This is not the sort of pot I bother fighting for. If I did get inquisitive and call the turn reraise for some reason, I'm definitely folding vs the river shove against most players. When I don't have any info on someone I tend to err on the side of caution. Look for better spots against the weaker players you do have info on. I am not saying you are never getting bluffed off here when you are actually ahead (which you can minimise here by C betting the flop!), but I would suggest you'll come out ahead if you avoid these sorts of spots against unknowns and just focus on targetting the weaker players, or at the very least players who you have some stats on.
