Why raise the turn?

[/ QUOTE ]

if he gets raised he can be pretty sure he is far behind and fold?

Why would you do that when you can get to showdown for the same price, and usually make more when you're ahead? (Guy behind folds for 2 but not for 1 typically, and if the turn bettor is bluffing, he's going to fold to the raise)

[/ QUOTE ]

If the guy behind is a typical player, we usually want to confront him with two bets if we think our hand might be best, because he will be correct to call with as little as 4.6 outs... In this case however, when SB is a rock and already called two on the flop, we can begin to suspect that he probably had a strong draw, strong ace or perhaps slowplayed some monster. I have a feeling that the turn card left us (at best) drawing to 3 outs...
