x post from SS, annoying turn situation
 

I posted this in SS, but I thought it would be appropriate to post here. This is a somewhat common situation in hold em and playing it more correctly can definately add +EV to your game.

Call the bet and c/c the river UI. MP2 just called your turn bet, it is unlikely he will 3-bet, he either has a Q or a straight draw. As far as BB goes, hard to say what he has, he could have the T, but also possible that he has a Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]X[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], maybe 44s even.

Re: x post from SS, annoying turn situation
 

He probably has a T and was slowplaying on the flop. He may also have 44 or be playing a flush draw (presumably with a queen). It looks like hero is probably behind. I can see 2 outs (A), another 2 tainted outs (TT). Maybe he's bluffing or on a draw, but it doesn't seem likely.

With 8.7-to-1 odds I don't think a call is justified. I fold.

River an Ace.

The default should be to call down because you have an overpair to the unpaired board card. If you had something like 66, folding would be more appropriate.

In a readless situation, calling down isn't significantly +EV, but it's +INFO which you can hopefully exchange for +EV in later hands.

Re: x post from SS, annoying turn situation
 

Against all but the most passive of players I think this will be a Queen, a hand like 66, or a club draw with a pair way more often than needed to make a calldown good.

(Especially with the overlay you're already getting and MP2 being dragged along for the ride.)

Re: x post from SS, annoying turn situation
 

3 bet.

If that MP2 calls or BB caps it I am starting to get worried.

Re: x post from SS, annoying turn situation
 

yeah i'd much rather fold than 3-bet.

to be honest i am folding this exact hand sometimes, even against a complete unknown. it just depends on my mood.
