So I'm HU with TT...

[DavidC]

This was at a decent 2/4 table on party, although you wouldn't think it from the preflop action.

---

I'm UTG with T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

I raise, it's folded to the BB, who calls.

The BB is 17/10/2.2 over 50 hands or so...

I'm playing n tables right now, such that n is a number greater than the number at which I can take good reads on opponents, so this one is going to have to be done by the stats alone. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

--------

4.5 SB, heads up.
Flop: J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

He checks, I bet, he calls.

Turn: 3.25 BB, heads up: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

He checks, I bet, he raises... 6.25 BB in the pot.

What do I do?

call, and call the river UI.

Calling the turn raise seems automatic with your redraw.

The real question is what are you going to do on the river when you don't catch?

Crapdamn...

I have a tendancy to three-bet, and call down if capped.

[aces_dad]

I'd rather call and try to fill up cheaply / go to showdown cheaply if I don't than 3bet that turn.

His stats are little scary to think he has at worst 2 pair and good chance he has a straight.

Call him down.

Generally they say to call or check when you have many outs and bet/raise when you have only a few outs and can fold to a raise/cap.

Grunch

The hand sucks but you cant fold a set HU here. So call down.

[SlantNGo]

Anyone think about checking the turn and calling a river bet/betting the river if he checks? Or are we giving up too much value?

* grunch *

Call. Heads up you are one opponent short of being able to make a profitable raise here. Against a "by-the-book" player you are slightly less than even money to win on the river so just call. There are a lot of hands that he would have cold called preflop then flat called on the flop (I am including hands he might have cold-called preflop then slow-played postflop like Q9s and 88, but excluding hands like AA, KK, QQ, JJ, and AK that properly would have been raised preflop from the big blind). A case for a raise could be made on based implied odds if you thought that your opponent would pay off a check raise or raise to a bet when the board pairs on the river. More likely though, a raise on the turn would be just another reason for a thinking opponent to slow down on the river.
