Poker Theory Question For The Day - 5/14/05 - #4

[brick]

In limit holdem, heads up on the turn with Top Pair, should you tend to fold more to a turn raise in a Tight-Passive game or a Loose-Aggressive game?

[BritNewbie]

It depends.
Do you see why?

[disjunction]

I see why it depends on whether my opponent is tight-passive or loose-aggressive. Given two parallel universes, where we get the same board and make the same turn bet...

If opponent is tight, a raise more likely indicates we are beat.

If opponent is passive, a raise more likely indicates we are beat.

I'm more likely to fold to a turn raise in a tight-passive game. In an extreme LAG game, I am even hoping to get raised.

Yep, I agree with you.
I was wondering because I found myself making a few folds that I don't normally make when I was playing last night. The game was much tigher and more passive than normal. I was folding more often but it felt correct. Hence the question.
