Can you get away from this? Raise preflop in MP with a Strong hand, TPGK and get reraised on the turn. BB is quite loose passive just calling along with any part of the flop.

calls getting almost 10-1

Re: Common situation, raised on turn
 

Might be up against a turned set of 5s, a very tough laydown to make though.

Another hands could be A5 or 85, which you have a few outs for each.

I'd call down.

No way you can lay this down. You have to hope he's getting frisky with a weak ace or you'll counterfeit his 2 pair on the river. Easy call down with a hand with showdown value.

Re: Common situation, raised on turn
 

I find this is a common line for a weaker ace out of the blinds, and I sometimes take this line with a weak ace on a A Q x board where I feel villan is betting middle pair and will pay off a raise. What I have been doing in your situation is calling the turn and raising the river. I find that it's much harder for them to 3 bet you on the river with two pair and they will certainly call the raise with a weaker A, as I expect to be shown a weaker A with much greater frequency than 2 pair or a set.

Re: Common situation, raised on turn
 

That's what I did, and what I usually do in these situations. Last night I ran into 6 or 7 of these where I had top pair top or good kicker and bet all the way and got bumped back on the turn or river.

I call down here against all but the most tight passive opponents.

Re: Common situation, raised on turn
 

Villain could be on a complete bluff once the button folds leaving it HU. It isn't actualy a terrible time to bluff in a decent sized pot if he has a read that you can make folds. He could be doing this with a small pair, pp, 2 spades, or even nothing at all.

This is just another reason to call down. Especially with the wackos that play 6-max.
