Default Re: How often does this line mean a strong hand?

Do any of you guys bet the turn and fold to a raise or are you committed to show this down when you bet the turn?

I almost always bet the turn. Call the raise if I think I have outs/odds, but usually fold. Calling turn raises at 5/10 and below makes it difficult to not call that last river bet, partly because it induces a bluff on the river, and partly because I want to know what kind of hands he raises the turn with...
So you are going to pay 2 more bets to showdown a hand you are not all that thrilled about, or fold the river feeling like you just got a prostate exam...
So, I embrace my weak/tight side and fold to a turn raise, then go read some of Tommy A's posts in mid-high to make myself feel better.
Besides I ALWAYS get shown a better hand calling down the average LPP types in these spots...
