I have played 50 hands at this table. UTG is pretty LAGGY. So far I have remembered him showing down once: he called a $2 raise with AJo from the big blind and won the hand.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG+1 ($25.45)
MP1 ($12.10)
MP2 ($7.40)
Hero ($15.95)
CO ($9.20)
Button ($12.45)
SB ($37.75)
BB ($8.75)
UTG ($23.80)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1.25</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG calls $1, MP1 calls $1.

Flop: ($4.10) K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 8/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets $0.5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $3</font>, UTG calls $3, MP1 calls $2.50.

Turn: ($13.10) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG checks, MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $10</font>, MP1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $11.7</font>, UTG calls $1.70.

River: ($36.50) T/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: $36.50


I need help on what to do on the turn in this situation given the only read I have on UTG. He obviously called a strong re-raise on the flop, is that enough to stop me in my tracks?

Make it at least $1.50 to go pre-flop (nit-picky, I know).

Make a pot-sized raise on the flop ($5.00 instead of $3.00).

Push the turn. You will be good here often enough to make it profitable.
