Unibet hand so I had to write the HH out myself.

Hero HJ €32
CO €14
BU €19
SB €35
BB €25

Blinds posted. K♠:J♠: dealt to Hero

Hero opens €0.75, CO folds, BU calls, SB folds, BB Calls.

Flop €2.50 K♦:2♦:7♠:

Hero bets €1.50, BU folds, BB raises to €5.51, Hero ?

The main villain in this hand has been around some for a bit and I have not managed to pick up any decent reads on him somehow. Not entirely sure how fishy he is.

It may seem odd but this is actually a pretty big raise for Unibet and I've been noticing recently that some players (possibly including this player but I'm not certain) have two different raise sizes, one large and one small. It is difficult to ascertain what is going on with my sample size but I need to improve my defence in these spots, especially because a decent percent of the player pool isn't past raising flops with top-pair, or paired boards with under-pockets.

Question 1: What sort of hands are most likely to be Check-raising this size?
Question 2: What should be a good way of structuring my defence? How might I change my plan versus a minraise?

Hey DaPhunk,

Generally speaking we should give BB credit for having sets when he raises 3-way and make tight folds.

We still need to be careful and protect ourself vs bots on this network. Sometimes we may find the small sizings are bluffs and the large sizings are for value. So if someone is check-raising you relentlessly on the flop don't be afraid to put in some min-3bets to make sure the player is legit.

I didn't think of that, thanks!

I don't normally 3bet bluff unless I'm doing it exploitatively in a spot where board is very dry and I think villain is unlikely to have a merged range.
