Default Re: Scary turn bet

Pre - ok
Flop - ok
Turn - Hmmm the bet is somewhat scary but the turn card is not so SB is likely no better than he was on the flop (this is somewhat less true out of the blinds who will play a wider range of cards such that the 7 could give 2 pair but still the 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] is not likely to have helped). So you have top pair good kicker and I'd say you are probably ahead here at least 40% of the time plus if you are behind (say to a stright) you have 4 outs to at least a tie. If you are behind to two pair you have even more outs.

Depending on reads I think you have to at least call down like you did. If this is an agressive player who might bluff you then you might even raise the turn to try and fold the SB if his turn bet is a bluff or at least to get a free showdown.
