10-20 turn raise
 

Loose 10-20 game with a couple of maniacs. I am in MP with KQ offsuit. Folded to Wild Crazy Guy to my right. I raise and the SB calls, WCG. Three of us see the flop

K89 rb

WCG checks I bet, call, call.
Turn is an ace so the board is rainbow

K89A,

WCG checks I bet, and the SB raises. What do you do here? I have a squeaky tight image (which explains why only 3 saw the flop; the BB usually protects, e.g. ) being a math professor, and the SB is a seemingly rational but surprisingly superstitious anesthesiologist, who is often trying to do something smart.

BillC,

With this board there are many hands that the SB could have that beat you (2-pair being most likely) and you could be drawing somewhere between slim to dead. Unless the SB is an aggressive tricky player (I'm not sure exactly what your description of him as a player who is often trying to do something smart means) I would fold here.

Hi Bill,

With the exception of some habitual crazies, I don't see how you are still ahead of the turn raiser. Perhaps even WAY behind. A single paired ace would more often bet out than check-raise. The cr looks ugly. It's a bit uncomfortable, but I think a fold is in order.

he's not trying anything smart, you're done. Even if you catch a Q or K on the river, you won't be happy enough to raise his bet. Fold, and it's not close.

bet, call on river blank. He surprised me after I folded on the turn by revealing KJ after taking it down.
