Out of curiosity, what do you think CO has that he's calling 2-cold on the flop? This is a pretty drawless board so i really think that he must have a ten, so I don't see the point in betting this turn.

I think that check/raising the button is good, but I think you have to worry about CO's call.

Then again, I'm probably weak/tight.

if you feel confident enough to bet the turn, bet the river.

CO is a 68/8 LA-P. He's not into dumping bad hands. IMO he could easily have lower pairs than hero's or plenty of gutshots.

I like hero's line. I would like to say I would bet the river but I may check.

I was worried about the coldcall. I thought that since he was passive, if he had a weak T or maybe 99, I could've got him to fold with a turn bet. When he called again I was done betting.

I think cnfuzzd is right though, that if I bet the turn I should've bet the river.

What was going to be your plan if button bet the river?

He will fold to a turn bet 0% of the time with these hands after calling 2 cold on the flop. Making him fold a better hand is not a reason to bet the turn.

You're right. This is why I was really unsure of my turn action. I felt the flop play was the right play, was it? After the coldcall, what is the correct turn play? Is this now a check-fold?

First, in regard to the whole hand.

Preflop: Against a LAG, i three bet this everytime. Especially since the other caller is also a LAG.

Flop. I play it the same. Given your cold call, i expect the pf raiser to bet this 100% of the time regardless of the flop. You are probably ahead, and might as well try to protect your hand/get money into the pot. To me the cold call says unpaired overcards.

Turn. Essentially a blank. If you were ahead on the flop, you are probably still ahead here most of the time. I bet here. I will probably fold to a c/r, but that really depends on how well these guys have been playing.

River: Not the best card, but not as bad as an ace or king falling. I still bet.
