This is probably a case where you should bet the turn in a big pot and check in a small pot. If he doesn't have a pocket/QJ/QT/JT he is drawing dead to a split. So if the pot were 15 BB, you would like for him to fold his T9 since he 7 outs to a chop and should call you if he knew what you had.

The flop raise is also pretty silly IMO for the same reason. If he has something like T9 or T8 and is drawing super thin, just let him keep betting at the pot. You don't want him to fold a 2-outer on the flop in a small pot. And since he isn't going to fold a better hand here, the only thing a raise does is weed out the hands that have no shot. Again this is okay when the pot is big, but it is better to just let him keep betting when the pot is small.

Side note: If you had 32 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] then a flop raise makes more sense. He would be making a mistake if he folds Q9 or 87 or whatever.

I got to thinking about what you said shillx.

In response to the flop raise, I think it's correct, as I have never seen SB show a willingness to Bet/ Fold. I'm almost positive he will call 1 more with any two on the off chance he hits a pair and we don't have anything.

But this has me thinking about my original line. The one where I bet any turn. A bet on the turn is likely to scare him away when he doesn't improve. If we raise the flop, I'm not seeing much value in a Turn bet at all, regardless of whether we improve or not.

What do you think of this for a line here:

Raise the flop; Check any turn Improved or UI, raise the river when we improve.

My only qualms with this hand is what to do UI.
