Default Re: AJo turn

Let's imagine that you weren't racking up before the hand was dealt. Without saying a word you decide to raise. Same action to BB. He now reraises, without saying a word. This is a strong hand.
But that's not what happened. BB knows you're probably raising light, AJo is probably at the top of your range in his opinion. Then no reraise back to him so when he looks at his pocket TT out comes the speech, "I have the best hand". People do not say that preflop without a pocket pair, nor do they say that when holding AA, KK, or QQ. Hence, raise the turn, get good playing dude to fold his Queen and BB to fold his pocket pair. Worse case scenario you still have 4-10 outs on the river.
