Re: Turn Problem
Not a turn problem, a flop problem.
Button is LAG, you say? Check the flop, and if it's checked to him, he will bet it a huge percentage of the time. Maniacs like real estate bets. Check-raise the flop. If it's checked through, then a turn bet will probably pick up a small pot. If one of the other players bets the flop, then evaluate from there.
Here are the lines I'd take if it were raised after I bet on the turn.
Turn:
-Hero bets, BB raises, .... Hero folds.
-Hero bets, BB calls, UTG raises, Hero folds.
-Hero bets, BB folds, UTG raises, Hero calls.
You absolutely have to bet here unless you are on a check/fold line, which you shouldn't be, yet.
The problem here is that when you are called on the turn, you still don't know where you are at in the hand. Using the flop to help define your hand will make decisions easier on the big streets.
