$200 NL 6max
Villain is pretty new, has $250.

Folds to me in MP and I raise to $8 with K /images/graemlins/spade.gif K /images/graemlins/club.gif. Button (Villain calls), BB calls.

Flop: 8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif
Checked to me I pot it, Villain calls.

Turn: 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
I bet $45, Villain minraises to $90, I call leaving him with $90 left.

River: J /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Just now realizing he has $90 left, I feel committed to calling a push by him so I set him in.

Should we just be pushing the turn here?

I would never bet this turn without a good read.

Check the turn

As played, I think you have to fold to the turn raise. I know it feels weak folding to a minraise, but you're definitely behind by a lot, if not already dead.

You're getting 4:1 on a call which is enough to draw to the flush. Problem is, could you fold unimproved?

Another question is, do you have enough equity vs. his hand range to push? You're getting about 2:1 on a push and call. This is definitely not enough as I feel you are at least a 4:1 dog, if not already dead.

absolutely check turn..

without the k of spade i'm more likely to bet and fold to a raise.. but the stacks are so short i'd probably check-call/bet or check-call/check-call

btw, i was refering after you were minraised, push the turn, not open push.
