Raising the turn with unimproved AK
The SB in this hand was a sLAG at 32/22/2 and seemed like a solid player postflop and didn't notice him getting out of line. The button was a loose passive. I think it's quite possible for the SB to be pushing a flush draw here so I raised the turn to try to knock out the button (if possible) and charge a flush draw if that was in fact what the SB had. Is this chip spewing or good move in a middling sized pot.

Re: Raising the turn with unimproved AK
id fold the turn, i dont like this at all,you said he was solid post flop and didnt get out of line.
of course its possible he is betting a flush draw,but i think more possible that he has a hand |

id fold the turn [/ QUOTE ] Getting 8.5-1 and it being fairly unlikely a raise is coming from behind me I have odds to call a turn bet. |

Re: Raising the turn with unimproved AK
what did you hope to accomplish with your raise?
what purpose does it serve? don't you think getting 3-bet would suck? Adam |

what did you hope to accomplish with your raise? [/ QUOTE ] My thinking at the time is I have the odds to call a bet, but raising might be better as it is still possible I am ahead and I might be able to knock out the button with a raise while at the same time take a free showdown. I am not saying I like the turn raise but that was my thought process at the time. [ QUOTE ] don't you think getting 3-bet would suck? [/ QUOTE ] Yes a 3 bet would suck, and I would fold. |

[/ QUOTE ] but if you just call and miss the river you can fold to a bet,only losing one bet,this way you lose 2 if your hand is worse, were you going to call the river unimproved if you just called the turn? |

If the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the river were bad cards for me then I would have been ahead going into the river unless the SB has specifically x7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
