View Full Version : Dreaded turn card

UTG is 26/16 and very aggressive postflop. He is probably a good player, but I haven't seen enough to confirm it.
PREFLOP: UTG raises, everyone folds, Hero calls in the BB with J /images/graemlins/diamond.gifT /images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
FLOP: J /images/graemlins/club.gif 8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 2 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Hero checks, UTG bets, Hero raises, UTG calls.
TURN: A /images/graemlins/club.gif
Hero bets, UTG raises, Hero folds.
I was torn between checking the turn and calling down and taking the line that I took. Against such a bluffable turn card I was really unsure.
What do you think?
Would you have taken a different line with K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif?
Thanks,

I made a post yesterday about a very similar situation. At the time, I took your line. I now think that your opponent will bluff so frequently that you should check/call the turn and river. This way you don't forfeit your probably 5 outs if behind and you don't ever fold the best hand.

UTG's action represents an ace.
Raise preflop: AT, AQ, AK (No AJ or the flop would've 3-bet).
Flop: Villain will auto-bet in this position, but only call your raise as he didn't hit his hand. Will probably check/fold the turn if it's a blank.
Turn: Voila, villain's HIG. I check/fold here.

it seems like a place where many players will bluff raise so unless you are absolutely convinced he has an ace wouldn't the line of check/call the turn and bet/fold to a raise on the river be the best way to handle it -- as people seem much more willing to bluff raise turns than rivers.

I kind of like what Lmn55d says (check/call turn and river because of 5 outs + you may have the best hand), but I'm not convinced.
I just can't see many hands that a UTG 26/16 will raise that do not beat us on the turn; 77,88,99,TT maybe but this doesn't really relate to their turn play.

3bet preflop. After the flop, your problem is not kicker related imo.

Folding the best hand becomes even more of a mistake on the river. Also, if he is a player who has noticed that I often bet and fold to a raise on the turn or river, I don't know that raising the river with something worse than my hand is out of the question, especially since the gaybet looks weak.

so would the concensus then be check call the turn and river?

Check folding here is ridiculous.

I do not like check call. I would lead into like you. Whether or not I fold to raise I don't know. Most likely.
Check call you don't have odds to call and if you think your ahead you are giving him infinite outs with a gutshot 99 etc.

River bet-fold lines open you up to all sorts of abuse from perceptive players.

He was responding to his question about KdJd, though I'm not sure I would 3 bet pf with it.
