Calling down...

[Bill Smith]

CO is pretty LAG preflop but I felt the turn told me I was beat. It just isn't a scary enough card to think it was a bluff. Opinions?

is he LAG enough to 3 bet hands like AJ KJ JT?

If you were sure you were beat, why the call down?

I think its a good calldown. If he was holding AJ he might have played it the same way, waiting for the turn to raise. Also, it could have been a semi-bluff if he held not only the J in a suited spade hand. Of course you could be behind, maybe even probably behind, but you know that many players are rampant bluffers and a calldown with top pair top kicker would not only protect against the bluff not only this hand, but in future hands as well.
