Re: Turn 2 pair , sucky river : Line check

If he's lag he could have A3, JT or Ax. But I don't like the turn 3-bet. I'm looking to play a medium sized pot since most river cards are going to make us sick. I'd call the turn raise and go from there.

exactly why I raised - I think I am ahead here more often than not and wanted to make him pay for his suckout.

I see wanting to charge him. But you still only have two pair out of position, and there are now 2 flush draws on the board along with the various broadway straights. My new approach to these situations is to keep the pot small when out of position, and valuebet him on a safe river. I like it much more if you can get him ALL-IN on the turn, but when you 3-bet here you are left in an awkward situation on the river.
