here we are against an unknown opponent (70/60 after 11 hands is nothing)
was it too ambitious to be played like that. I was expecting from him to play like that QQ but I was surprised :f_o: and also KJs; QJs as semi bluffs

I don't like to call raises OTF with TP. I'd say a fold and live another day :) Villain called you off pre not for nothing. Either he is strong already preflop or he is strong postflop.

With the raise on flop on this dry board he represents sets+overpairs.
Fold.

Not standard. When having a good read on villain, we can call top pair and especially draws as well but not in this case.

Sometimes you can call the raise on the flop, but I don't think you should call the flop raise and raise the turn with a card that changes nothing.

If you intended to raise further, I think you should've done it on the flop, but anyway, in my opinion, with the hand you had, I would have folded flop.

What limit do you play? Yes you are right it depends. But I think vs normal players/regs they raise 2p/OP/sets OTF I think most of the time. Which is by the way I think not so good because they generate a lot of folds instead of just a call and then attack OTT...

It is not old days/nowadays. Board is dry and villain represents sets or overpairs.

Hi, PRF is Ok, on the flop I would of CBet max 1/2 pot and depending of his raise size I have to call or fold, as played without info I would fold on the Turn.

Not sure if villain would call 3bet with 44,55. We block JJ. QQ+ he would usually 4bet. Vs unknown villain I would say he still represents more sets than complete air. You can fold OTF. Going broke OTT is a bit too much at least.

The line taken is defensible. If you consistently fold TPTK to a raise you'll be folding too much and can too easily be blown off 3-bet pots on low boards. Turn brings a blank giving us extra outs. Folding is fine too if you think you can guess villains hand (set) as well as everyone else.
