I think I would fold on the turn. He's being agressive and I don't have even a top pair. If this guy has a J, his kicker is probably higher than mine and I lose anyway.

the problem is that he is aggressive enough to bet even the turn with nearly every hand (K high or lower pockets e.g.).
normally i would fold this on the turn too but i was often told that i´m too weak

Hi! I would hardly ever fold second pair in the blind battle and the few times I consider folding in this situaion are when I`m playing against a passive player who rarely bluffs but surely not against an aggressive one. The question for me is if check-calling all the way is correct or if it might be better to take the initiative with a checkraise on the flop.


Check/call is correct here but I see no hand he bets on the river which we beat. He will valuebet his aces and high povvketspair and even the good jack hands but what should he bluff with?

I think you can make a tough fold on the river here. He should mentioned that you want to see a sd so he has to respect your calldown.

In a pure HU match it's an easy calldown and depends more on the game "flow". :)

hm you are right. i actually called the bet but i think it was a bit of a "call for information". i just wanted to see what he bets 3 times here.
well... he had the pure nuts ;)

So you should check/raise the flop and THEN check/fold the turn. ;)
