I've just recently decided to start trying 2/4 a little, and I have to say it hasnt went so well. I know some of it is due to the cards going cold on me, but I am also seeing new situations that you dont get as much at 50c/1 or 1/2, and also dealing wityh opponents who do more than callcallcall. Here is a hand folded to me on the button. Any thoughts?

I just call the turn. Either the BB hit, is protecting a TPish hand from free cards or is an idiot.

I think raising the turn is ok. It looks like he has an ace and was afraid of the flush and decided to make sure the turn wasnt a flush card before raising. Your kicker is strong and healthy and i take it better than his. it will play no matter what river card comes. i would raise it too.

Call down the initial turn bet. Either that, or fold to the 3-bet.

Not if a 5 or 7 comes off

Don't raise here because:
A) You might be beat.
b) He might stop bluffing and fold(or fold to your river bet instead of betting a busted flush draw).

Yeah, I guess I went overboard a little bit. My thoughts were that he bet into me on the flop because he had two cards in his hand. I thought on the turn he bet into me because he didnt believe I had the Ace and he had the king. I should have just called the turn because I really have trouble folding to the 3-bet. I think that's a leak I have. I have a hard time folding headsup. Well, it turned out pretty bad for me. I was right about one thing. He had a king, but it was a heart along with another heart, for a flopped nut flush. Thanks.
