50/1 game at Dusk. Six handed. Two terrible players, two nits, myself and the Maria D.
Have been playing reasonably tight up to this point, but started opening a little wider since we lost some players because I feel very much in control. Obv DMorgan is going to come in straight away and say fold pre, but feel as long as I'm getting past Maria, I'm not going to have any trouble postflop. Maria is villain in this hand, for those that don't know her, she is very capable, tight image but one which she is aware of and will probably abuse, definitely adapted since the table became short handed. She's playing £130~ at the start of the hand and we cover.
We open the gun to £4 with the

Flop (£13.50)
We bet £8, villain calls, fish folds.
Turn (£29.50)
We bet £18, villain raises to £42 with £75 back. We ??
My initial thought is to move it in here, as we can probably get called by straights and turned combos. But moved onto thinking it was way more likely villain was floating a draw heavy board with the intention of taking it away on a decent turn if she thinks we're just barrelling or even if she thinks we have overs or a pair in which case we should flat and check-call the river shove. There is also the slim possibility that we don't have the best hand here, in which case can we chalk it up to a cooler or does anybody strongly consider fold as an option? What are you doing here?
