I show you how to play a marginal middle pair when your opponent continues applying pressure when you are deep stacked.

Thank you for watching. Be sure to check back next week at JonathanLittlePoker.com for another episode of Weekly Poker Hand.
Always enjoy your analysis. Thanks.
What would convince you to call if this unknown “generic” opponent makes a small, medium (~1/2 pot) or large river bet?
That’s a tough question. It depends a lot on my opponent and what he is doing. The same bet size can mean drastically different things from different players. Don’t fall into the habit of always assuming a particular bet size is strong from generic opponents.
First, let me say I really like your podcast. It is nicely concise and focuses on very practical issues.
In this hand, would you have been more inclined to fold a 2/3 pot sized turn bet by your opponent rather than calling his 1/2 pot bet? If not, what would cause you to fold on the turn?
I am glad you enjoy the podcast. Thanks for the kind words.
I don’t think the bet sizing matters too much. I imagine I would only fold the turn if he bet larger than the size of the pot, really polarizing his range.
