Party 15: TPTK vs. Passive turn raise in multiway pot.

[evain]

Hi Jeff

I think your river line is fine. You have to call. But I was considering checking the turn and possibly raising a late position bet. Or if it gets checked through, no problem. They were going to draw out on you anyways. Reminds me of a hand where Sklanksy talks about checking AA against a bunch of players where it had been capped pre flop and everyone - including gutshots - was getting odds to call. I think he might have been talking about checking the flop though and making them pay on the turn.

The bottom line is - I play it like you think you should have. Not reraise the turn - that leaves you open to the cap. But then you have to call the river. He will have AK at least once in 23 hands.

If that's what you're banking on, then doesn't the pot have to be laying you 46:1 odds, given that you're 'banking' on a chop??
I'd prob just call CO's turn raise, and call down...but given your 3-bet turn, I fold to the CO cap: I think you're drawing dead against a set of jacks or eights, or at best to 3 A outs if CO has KJ

I'll let myself elaborate: If you have a made hand vs. a bunch of drawing hands, giving them a free card is nothing short of disastrous.
