No real reads. Plan was to fold to a 3 bet and take a free showdown UI.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (7 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J/images/graemlins/club.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif.
1 fold, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, SB 3-bets, 1 fold, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (11 SB) J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (3 players)
SB checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets, SB calls, MP2 calls.

Turn: (7 BB) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (3 players)
SB checks, MP2 bets, Hero raises...

I wish I knew what to do here. If it's HU on the river, and SB donk bets a blank, do you call?

I don't think I would. If I should maybe I shouldn't raise the turn.

Interesting hand. Well the turn raise is to protect what could be the best hand and to charge draws. I was thinking that this raise was one of those raise the turn and invest no more bets into this pot ploys. Am I misunderstanding this concept? I figure that's when you raise turn, folding to a 3-bet or a river bet. Is the pot size the reason you still call the river? Does pot size matter if you're definitely beat?

I was planning on folding to a 3 bet or river bet. It would be tought to fold to a river gay bet getting 12-1, but I still would, unless someone convinces me otherwise.

Anyone else like the turn raise?
