don't like the turn raise at all. It just lets him fold 5x and 6x. Now if you don't think he would check/call or bet the river with these hands thats not really a problem and you'd rather him fold his 5 outer. If you think he'd check/call or bet the river with those hands you really want him in

Thats also a flop some guys like to checkraise Arag on. Arag has 3 outs against you so if you don't think josh is gonna bet or call the river with arag (which he wont) then him folding that is fine.

You gotta fold to a 3bet but you sacrifice some 2-out equity which sucks slightly.

Flop 3bet is good if you think he will call down with his 5x and 6x hands thinking you 3bet for free card or something like that. If he will do this I don't think he's gonna call the river so 3betting only gets you one more sb over calling down (depending on what josh does on the river with a pair of 5s or 6s)


I just call down all the way and hope he bets or calls the river with a small pair

IMO, if I can fold a 5 or 6 to him, then either I'm not semi-bluffing or bluffing the flop enough, or he isn't bluffing the turn enough. I'm checkraising the flop with top pair, a set, a draw, bottom pair, middle pair, two pair, etc. TT is looking nice against this range. he also should know that some of my range includes weak made hands, A high, and semi-bluffs, and maybe occasionally pure bluffs, which means that I will have some better hands that can fold to a raise when he doesn't have anything, and in turn that makes me have to pay off more lightly to compensate.
