Marginal turn NL situations
I read the intro to this month's magazine and get excited about reading some good NL stuff. Hopefully this is not an indication of things to come.
In this article, the author builds an $1100 pot on the turn, leaving himself with $350 behind. Given his reasoning in this hand, why is he raising to $400 rather than pushing?

Yes, I really dont understand that raise and the check behind on the river.

Re: Marginal turn NL situations
I think he has definite merrit in everything that he has critized. Both of these articles seem severley flawed.
The turn raise seems ridiculous ... you are completey commiting yourself on the turn with that raise, why is the last amount of money being left behind? This is the same reason why I dont understand checking behind on the river.

Re: Marginal turn NL situations
Yeah, I was disappointed by this article too.
I don't like the limp preflop, but whatever. I hate raising the flop, especially to that amount. I'm tempted to write something myself but a couple of things are holding me back; namely, I don't know what to write about, and am not smart enough to write a good article.
