Terrible. Push or fold on the turn.

Uh . . . do not flat-call the turn raise? Lean towards folding but if this guy is a donk then push?

care to elaborate? I don't have a good read at this point, I think he probably either just hit a lone queen with KQ or hit top two.

actually I thought about this and its definitely not a push situation. The best play would be folding to the turn minraise. As played, however, I make more against kq/AQ which would probably fold to a push, but will flat call my river bet. it obviously did not go all in on the river when, given the action, I can be very certain I'm beat and save $25 bucks since I was too slow on the uptake to save the other $30 (turn call $10 plus blocking bet)

This is a flop I'm check-raising to take it right then and there. If somebody plays back at me, I'm done with the hand. If somebody calls, I'm slowing way down. If it checks through, so be it.

The reason for my flop play is: the last thing that I want to do is build this pot.

Fold to the turn raise

stack sizes are awkward for river blocking bet.

I would just fold to the turn minraise.
