Re: Flop vs Big Lag, holding big draw
 

Hi greg,

my question is, how to you handle a blank turn when he bets into you?

I read the prior context and his bet size. If his bet is small enough (pot or less), I either call or push. If I just call, I'm not making a move unless I hit. If he moves in on the turn, I muck it, except if it's an Ace, in which case I'll have to consider a call.

This pot has $330 in it, and the guy has $1400 left. We can just let it go. If I muck my hand somewhere along the way, I still feel good about him getting 150 in against me when I held AKs, and about him giving me a chance to make the nuts. If he then bluffs me out, good for him; next hand.
