Default Re: JTs Flops Top Pair, Flop is Donked and PFR Still to Act

Checking the turn behind here is a big mistake.

Bet the turn and fold to a check-raise. You likely have very few outs when behind here and you are giving up little by folding if you get check-raised. If villain is good enough to check-raise bluff a draw here, and you haven't recognized that he's that tricky, then he probably deserves to win this hand.

There is no play in poker which I think is lamer than players raising and reraising the flop out of positions with draws solely for the purpose of trying to dupe their opponents into giving a free card on the turn. (If they are doing it with an equity edge, that's fine). Don't fall victim to this lamest of poker gambits.
