Hero ?

edit: river action removed. ty for recommendation jba.

what is this donk limp-raising with PF? i dislike this turn but can it really scare me? alot of the time limp-raise = medium pocket pair. how would you proceed vs. this opponent after the turn card?

I bet/fold turn.

I like hero's line better than bet/folding turn. I don't like folding here to a some random limp/reraising donk.

i think i'd be folding the best hand way too often if i did that. if i bet/folded there would be 11 BB's in the pot, and i think i have the best hand enough of the time to warrant a call down.

ya?

I understand the value of getting to showdown, and I really have no idea what to do here at the moment.

However if villain has some stupid pocket pair, the bet/fold line might win us 2BB instead of 1BB.

ps to the OP: you shouldn't have included the river action

[Lmn55d]

if you're planning on calling down a raise, I definitely think checking is better than betting. I think a villain of this sort rarely takes a free card in this spot and often might bet a hand he'd otherwise fold or would check through and call a river bet with a hand he'd otherwise fold...say 22 for example.

Well the numbers are right there: 43/12/1.20

Do you have Villian's AFs by street? That would be very helpful.

[Lmn55d]

numbers aren't gonna help you here. The fact is that a limp/reraiser is gonna be some dumb donk enough of the time that you don't want to fold QQ in a pot of this size, nomatter what type of player his stats "say" that he is.

[luckyharr]

At first my response was going to be "get to showdown." However, this doesn't seem to be the type of player who could correctly put you on TT-KK and raise that turn with hands that you beat. I think this is one of the rare times I would advocate the bet/fold line.

[nervous]

I would probably check/call turn - is that too weak?

So you would bet/call turn. c/c riv?

Check-calling is the best play by a substantial margin. Pretty standard way ahead/way behind situation. The only possible hand that you're not already way ahead of that is affected by the turn card is KK, which isn't folding to a bet. All other hands you're either way behind -- so a bet is obviously bad -- or way ahead of, in which case there's no benefit to betting because they'll almost surely fold.

[Lmn55d]

no, check/call turn, check/call river. I explained why in my reply to JBA.
