AK, do you peel ?

Do you call and see what the turn brings ? Vilain limp almost with any 2 cards... 60/10/2.5 over 500 hands. He bluffs a lot...

Do you sometimes call this down or you give credit ? Do you fold the flop since this is a very drawy board ?

I would certainly not fold, so it become a tossup between raising and calling. I'd like to get some thoughts from other posters as to what conditions make them chose, though.

If he bluffsf a lot, I'm inclined more towards calling him down if he is likely to show down worse than ace high.

how can you not at least see a turn?

sometimes I raise the flop but my default is to call

Do you call tihs down headsup ??

[obsidian]

He would do this with any 6 or flush draw. I think a raise is closer to a fold here.

[obithrawn]

What factors do you look at here to determine a raise or fold?

I am leaning more torwards a raise here, I think, because it seems like it makes turn/river play easier.

On this kind of board against this kind of opponent, my standard line is to raise the flop, bet, the turn, and check behind on the river unimproved.

[setjes]

I think I'd raise the flop and bet out the turn.
But what do u guys think of calling the flop and raise the turn when a blank falls, to take a free showdown? Ur representing a big hand this way and might be able to fold a pair

[sthief09]

problem with raising the flop is a lot of times a flush draw 3-bets you. now what?

[Victor]

i usually call the flop then fold the turn unimproved against normal opponents but i think my overcard play is a weakness.

against an aggro bluffing opponent who doesnt back down i call down.

against an opp who can lay down i will often raise the turn and check behind on the riv.
