Call down? Hmm...I'd say 3-bet if you think he's making a play with big non-paired cards or fold like you did.Depends on your read but bet-call/bet-raise in 3/6 usually means you're in trouble.

you just readily gave up on your attempt to steal with overcards, what the go?

WTF are you talking about?

I believe he means you wussed out too quickly. Your opponent knows you have AK because you raised PF. Everyone knows a pre flop raise is AK. He could be bluff raising any two. You have to convince him you have a pocket pair.If he's not bluffing, he probably has a pair. You still have two live cards.If you are getting raised a lot on the turn, you should stop auto betting. Sometimes check raise, and sometimes call the flop and raise the turn.

I think this line is correct in a vaccuum, but I think if you are facing an aggressive opponent who is consistently raising the turn (with too much frequency to have it every time) then you are going to have to call down light once in a while in order to keep him honest, and to keep you from getting run over. In this situation, I also think you can consider alternative lines to get to showdown. This guy sounds like the type that bets when he's checked to, so you might consider going for a cheap showdown against him by check/calling. This way you avoid the dreaded turn raise, get to showdown, and catch a lot of his bluffs.

Oh, I should have noted that the "I'm getting raised a lot" is just applied generally to 3/6All I have on THIS guy is the stats.My mistake.

it looks to me like he has two pair, obviously lower than AA or KK. Can't be sure though without any reads. I'd check call the turn unless the guy is a bluffer, in which case I check raise it.
