QJo from the button
 

I have not been at the table long, but UTG+2 seemed loose and fairly aggressive post flop--capable of betting/raising draws as well as made hands. No real read on MP3.

What is the turn play. Call or raise.

Raise, re-raise, and cap.

Re: QJo from the button
 

I raise for sure, especially with MP3 still in.

I hope you're joking..

I'd just call down unimproved.

Re: QJo from the button
 

I raise the turn and check the river behind unimproved.

Re: QJo from the button
 

On the turn he's got top pair with a good kicker, and the str8 draw. Why not push it?

Re: QJo from the button
 

His stop 'n go makes me wonder. Either that turn card helped him, in which case he's likely to have made two pair or a straight, or he already had something like two pair. You just turned TP + OESD, but since MP3 is already in, is a raise a good idea, even though UTG+2 is fairly aggressive?

Re: QJo from the button
 

Because if it's get 3-bet it's very likely that hero is behind and he would then hate to invest more money than required to see the river.

Re: QJo from the button
 

Rico-

I would lean towards raising here. Being 3 bet isnt the end of the world due to your larger amount of outs, but just calling with the best hand sucks.

If I raise the turn, I am only called, then a blank falls on the turn, why would I check?
