Yuck. No reads? I'm likely folding.

Re: This turn made me throw up in my mouth
any reads/stats on BB?
think he'd call a pf raise with xhxh or rags that flop a straight draw? mightve hit a set as well on the flop. his 1/2 pot bet seems pretty weak, but he could just be trying to pump up the flop. you also have to consider a high xhxx for the four flush and maybe a pair to go along with it. too many unknowns with any idea who we're going up against. |

Time to fold, there are better places to make a stand without a read.

folding > calling > raising ?
I hate to let him bluff me off with a less than half pot bet here... but if you call, you might well have to call another bet on the river too. meh, this turn sucks a lot. Gotta fold though, unless you have a read that he could bluff scare cards. |

Re: This turn made me throw up in my mouth
yuck, fold. Without a read I assume most players aren't sophisticated enough to bluff 1/2 pot at a scare card on the turn since they realize it looks like they're drawing.

Re: This turn made me throw up in my mouth
I often look at plays like this as a reraise on the flop. If he had reraised you $10 on the flop what would you have done? By calling and then leading out on the turn, this indicates that he can beat a pair of Kings, or he has at least AK, either way you are beat. If he is making a move on you it's just a helluva play, but if he is, you will catch him later. This is where I stuggle a bit--having the patience to wait to pick someone off later who I suspect might be stealing from me.
Enjoy Life! |

Alright, it looks like people think I should have folded, but here's what I did, what happened, and why I did it.

Final Pot: $53.25 Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> No showdown. Hero wins $53.25. </font> I decided to minraise the turn because I think that there was enough of a chance that villain was doing this with KJ, KT or KxX[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] that my hand was good fairly often, and so I wanted to get this to showdown. I decided that minraising the [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on the turn would be the best way to do that because if villain had 2 pair or a set and I was on the draw, I just got there and he might go into check/call mode. Another important factor that I considered were the stack sizes. After the minraise, villain had $25 left behind, which, even though I'd be getting terrific odds, was enough that I could lay it down to a push. |
