I don't think it was likely enough that he would do this with just overcards, so I didn't raise

define "likely enough" - rather than just worry about whether you are in front or behind worry about whats to come - you should want to get to a showdown with this hand

[/ QUOTE ]
By likely enough, I'd estimate I'm behind with 5-6 outs > 70% of the time. What do you think and why?

Is taking a free card on the turn bad?

[/ QUOTE ]

i dont think its awful as long as you call the almost inevitable river bet - i normally bet the turn and take the free showdown unimproved - mostly i prefer this line because when i hit the river i suspect he will hate that the most

If I'm going to call the inevitable river bet, it is IMO much better to raise the flop, bet the turn, take the free showdown. The tough players will donk the river, do you usually call?
