fold, fold, UTG+2 raises to $1.50, fold, Hero raises to $4.75, fold, fold, fold, fold, UTG+2 calls $3.25
This villain doesn't have much history yet, but he is quite aggressive. I think my hand is strong and I want post-flop initiative, so I 3B. I also don't want to make a bigger pot for others behind me.

UTG+2 checks, Hero bets $5.75, UTG+2 raises to $12.00, Hero calls $6.25
This c/r is a bit fishy to me. I decide to call because I am still ahead of many pocket pairs like TT, JJ, or even 88. He could also be c/r with AK or something, but that seems doubtful.
I am trying to not always assume players are bluffing, so I called. But I don't think that is a good justification. I also (at the time) thought that if I am ahead many hands would fold that I beat, maybe 77 or 88, possibly TT, and I would be limiting his range to stronger hands like 99, KK, or possibly AA (as he has a 0/31 3B (though this is still a small sample)).
Turn%s: ($34.25, 2 players) 5
UTG+2 bets $18.65 and is all-in, fold
On this turn, nothing really changed. The way this player played he either has a hand that is stronger than me or isn't. When I put a range of 99+ into the equity calculator, I am only behind 45%-55%. If I take out AA (which I'm not sure I can) those odds reverse. I think this fold was a mistake. I possibly overcompensated trying not to be too much of a hero-caller...
