Default Re: push on the turn?

[ QUOTE ]
With top pair top kicker and a backdoor flush draw? I'm not real sure I would re-raise. But I might call and see if the turn brings a spade.

You got bet into for twice the pot. You call. Okay, the turn is a 2 of spades. Now you're facing another pot sized bet, which, by now, is about 400. Do you call? How about if he goes all in?

This is the best way to lose a lot of chips.

PS: The river is the one street you have to call because while it's sort of a 'please call me' bet it's also just barely small enough to come from a busted draw or a weaker T/AT. Of course, you really shouldn't be there in the first place.
