Turn and river, you should bet/fold and bet. If you get raised again on the turn, you are beat, and you will lose 1 bet.

Can I really just bet-fold the turn? I agree that if I get raised I am almost certainly behind but, in that case, I quite likely have 5 clean outs and will be getting 10:1 to call the raise.

A ton of people seem to disagree but I believe my explanation makes total sense. You are right about the 5 clean outs; however, I believe you get only 8-1 (not 10-1) to call the raise, and you need 8.2-1 to justify a call. Furthermore, if you bet/call the turn, you will trap yourself for another bet on the river when you miss: don't kid yourself - you will definitely call the river for 10-1 odds with your middle pair, even though you decided you were beat on the turn. So therefore you aren't risking a single bet for those 5 outs, you are really risking two which makes the draw quite unprofitable. It is important to think a street ahead with these kinds of tough turn decisions.
