TT versus unknown
 

Gee don't you hate it when someone says "villian = unknown"? Well sorry, he is new to the table -- I think this is his first hand, so the only thing I know about him is that he is smart enough to wait for the blinds.

Just wondering if this is standard for you guys?

ie been reading how good is your limit hold em and he authr would probably tell you to call the raise and donk the turn on a blank. just for thought.........

Re: TT versus unknown
 

I'm out of position for a donk on the turn -- do you mean raise?

Re: TT versus unknown
 

I think your line is fine. It's not uncommon for BB to turn up a busted flush in this situation. Sometimes I might raise the turn though, depends on how well I know my opponent.

im a tardo. yeah you can wait to raise and fold to a 3-bet. (note this is not a free showdown raise, there is some confusion on this forum) If he has a 6 he most likely 3-bet. he could be raising a 2, a flush draw, 2 overs, a pocket pair, or a 6 on the flop. i d wait for the big bets and a non [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] turn and raise.

Re: TT versus unknown
 

My only concern about the turn raise/fold line is the idea that I will get a worse hand that would pay me another bet on fifth street to fold. I can understand this on the river, when I don't mind a worse hand folding as much.

well that a good concern, try it on the river then.

Re: TT versus unknown
 

This is how I would have played it.

Then again, lately my blind battles have been against LAGs who suddenly have good hands (better than mine) that they raised as what looked like a blind steal, instead of the normal crap they've been caught raising with before. So, I've tried to back off my aggession a bit..
