Pretty standard fold, unless he's crazy. He's definitely telling us he has a pair bigger than ours, or perhaps even a set with 88 or 66, if he plays those the way he played this one preflop.

Raise more on the flop. Making it $4 to go would be good IMO.

Fold to MP3's reraise. I can't imagine he is going mad with one pair here.

I agree with others, dump it. You can only make this kind of call if you have a really good read on your villian, and that is only in special cases. This isn't the case here so its time to go.

If I make it $4 on the flop aren't I pretty much committed to call then?

In this instance you possibly would be, so it maybe worked out okay.

As simo said, probably in this case. OTOH, making it $4 would make a re-raise that much more legit. If its me in MP3 and I see the 1/4 pot $1.25 bet I might raise with a lot of hands TT has beat, reading weakness and a willingness to get out cheap.

Well, I agree with everyone that said you need to raise more on the flop. The thing to consider is the size of your raise in relation to the pot, not to his .25 donk bet. I would also make it like $4 or something like that.

After making that raise, you are probably committed to call MP3, but not necessarily. The thing is, it looks like he has FE the way it plays out. If you raise to $4, then he should realize that you're probably calling him if he pushes, which might change his action.

IF you chose to raise to $4, then I'd call the raise because there are still a few hands that he could push that you're beating.

I really didn't like that flop at all so I folded after a thinking for a few seconds. I really didn't think about my re-raise though in relation to the pot size, I guess it does look fairly weak. Villain claimed to have 55.
