Not really sure what you are going for on the turn.

yea turn play sucks bad

however, once he bets that $20, what would you do xorbie? check-raise big? check-call? im leaning towards check-call, keep the pot small, maybe vb river (but isnt river like 150 by then and we only have 110 left in our stack? ugly)

Honestly, neither do I (which is why I'm looking for advice [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]). I guess I was sort of thinking I was beat and planning to check/fold, but then that $20 bet just seemed so weak, I thought he might just fold if I came over the top. How would you play it? Lead out? Check/call?

Re: 200NL - TT - How bad did I butcher this?
 

I said fold because this hand would be extremely difficult to play on other streets and villains hand range is far too wide.
Chances are your going to face a turn and river bet, What then? Hero's Line was good if you wanted to see a showdown, but I think you're beat enough here against an unknown to fold.

Re: 200NL - TT - How bad did I butcher this?
 

even if you wanted him to fold, a check-raise to 60 in that pot is not doing a thing

pot is 110

he bets 20

you raise to 60

hes got 40 to call into a 190 pot, 5:1 odds is good enough for basically any high heart, any pair, any overpair, any straight draws + pairs, whatever, you name it
