Default Re: 2 cold on the turn?

[ QUOTE ]
hero is in the small blind with A 4

Preflop: MP1, MP2, CO, Button call, HERO completes, BB checks.

Flop comes: K 4 A

HERO checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, CO bets, Button raises, HERO calls, BB folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO calls.

Turn comes: 2

HERO checks, CO bets, Button raises, HERO...?

The flop play is right. You have a vulnerable hand. 3-betting will not get anyone to fold that didn't fold to two bets -- most importantly the set/flush draw you're worried about. By smooth-calling the flop you can check-raise if a blank comes on the turn.

When the diamond hits the turn, though, and it's raised to you this is about as easy a fold as they come. Unless button is a complete maniac you're probably drawing to 2 outs, if not dead.
