I often find myself in situations such as these.

Generally, after the flop raise, I like to just call with the intent of leading the turn if it's a blank (like I did here). My rationale: he could very well be on overcards and I don't want to give up a free turn card.

Then, however, when I get raised on the turn, I don't think that folding is correct, because I have drawing odds to improve. (Plus, I still may be ahead, imo).


Suggestion on all streets appreciated....

if he has overcards I will just 3-bet the flop and lead. I just don't do the stop N go, honestly. people will pull [censored] like this because they think you're going for the pot and it's not fun.

it's not that I'm going for the pot.

it's that I feel there's a strong chance I have the best hand, and if so, I don't want him checking the turn through with overcards....


Edit: by 3-betting the flop, villain still has proper odds to draw with overcards.

check/call(with the intention of folding the river if unimproved) or check/fold the turn. I think you are behind, and I also think your outs are tainted.

The opponent raised three limpers from the big blind. That's a pretty big sign of strength. But we've flopped something, so we have to get involved. I would also have bet into the PFR to attempt to blow away the field. That happened. Since that worked, I'm content to check and call the rest of the way. Betting the river and folding to a raise might be the best river play, but personally I can't bring myself to do it too often because I worry about being bluffed.
