Unsure about this turn play
These players were all unknowns.
Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (9 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, BB checks. Flop: (5 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font> SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, MP2 calls, Hero calls, SB calls, BB folds. Turn: (4.50 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, MP2 folds, <font color="blue">Hero.. </font>. <font color="black">Do I raise or call here? Raising will charge spade draws the most, and I can easily fold to a 3bet knowning that I must be beat.</font> |

Re: Unsure about this turn play
I like a raise, but I don't think I can fold to a 3-bet. If you raise, SB bails, and UTG 3-bets, you're getting immediate odds of 9.5 to one with top pair weak kicker and a gutshot. The gutshot needs 11 to 1, but combined with the chance that UTG is betting a medium pocket pair or something like K5, I think I probably want to take this to showdown.

Re: Unsure about this turn play
raise is too likely to fold him. maybe he sticks with his low pair, but the one card most likely to get him to fold is the ace. go for the overcall, and maybe you improve too.

Re: Unsure about this turn play
forgot to finish stating perhaps the obvious: too much that calls the raise beats you, like better aces.

Strongly consider raising the flop.

Re: Unsure about this turn play
raise flop, then see what he does on the turn...
if he still bets, call. If he checks, check behind to induce a bluff |

[/ QUOTE ] Good point, I think I was thinking a bit to LAGgy earlier, even right after my post I realized that raising costs way too much if we're behind. Now I think I call and call a river bet or bet if checked to. |

The reasons for not raising the turn make sense to me - they outweigh the reasons for raising, and having to call a 3bet on the turn but folding the river unimproved would be a killer. |
