Default Re: PP 30, Random Turn Checkraises

Hey, I'm also having a problem about how this hand was played. Say if BB is loose and is willing to call a raise here about 40% of the time, what do you do then if he raises you on the turn? Do you give him credit for a made hand or a pure bluff, they'll bluff on the river close to 100% of the time if just called. We have to remember since the T paired up our A might not even be good. How do you play AJ against someone who is constantly bluffing the turn like this with a light hand?

The problem with me is, I tend to give them too much credit when I know that they're real loose on the blinds or on the button. I mean if you don't hit it's real tough to play against someone who's willing to raise second or third pair in this position. Is calling down here profitable? Maybe against some players but I don't think it's still worth calling down. That's my leak right now against loose aggressive opponents, any suggestions?

A read on the player is probably the best way to recognize if he's willing to bluff on the turn with garbage. Instead of reraising on the turn(making him fold), maybe we can just call him down and see a showdown. I think this is the best way to find out whether they're willing to go out of line.
