I wanted to see the turn cheap. Should I have???

[jedi]

10 handed, .50/1 blinds on The Gaming Club

Jedi is in MP1 with A /images/graemlins/spade.gif 6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

Unfortunately I don't have total stack sizes (stupid Gaming club crappy hand history stuff) but I'll try to piece it together.

EP1, EP2 limp, Jedi ($120 stack) limps, MP2 ($58.75 stack) limps
MP3, CO, Button folds.
SB ($9 stack) raises to $2.
BB and everyone else calls $1 more.

Flop: 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 6 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

Great! Top pair, top kicker, nut flush draw. Now what? Pre-flop raiser acts first, so let's see what happens.

SB vets $3. BB folds. EP1 calls. EP2 folds, Jedi calls.
MP2 calls.

Turn 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif.

Hmmm... not much help, and any 5 makes a straight.

SB and EP check. Jedi bets $15. MP2 raises to $53.75 total and is all-in.

Everyone else folds. I think... and think.... and think... and wind up wussing out and folding.

Did my mere call on the flop set me up for this?

You have a VERY vulnerable hand on the flop! Any card that is not a spade/ace/six is a big scare card on the turn! You have to raise big on this flop.

I'd raise pot-sized on this flop

dont forget here, against everything but a flopped set, straight or AA you are winning with TPTK, an over and the NFD. get it as much of it in as you can on the flop, since he was short, i would have put him in right off so he could think about folding or playing against my better hand.

don't look for a cheap turn here, he'll fold his overpair to an A, or a spade. he can get away from this hand, don't let him.
