another let\'s discuss on all streets ... turn especially
turn - while I elected to check call I think check/folding is standard or perhaps it should be.
The hands that I was ahead before were Ax-AJ, AT&AK are obviously ahead now. The turn completes all the straight possbilities or betters any reasonable ace hand. This leaves me drawing to a straight or paying off a better hand more often than not?

Re: another let\'s discuss on all streets ... turn especially
I honestly dont mind the way you played it here. You couldve lead the turn there, but c.c works too. Each play has its merits:
Check call: Good for pot control, many PFR will fire at the turn when checked to (in my experience at least), cant raised or forced out of the pot, passive, doesnt get info from villian, puts you in relative position Lead turn: Helps to define villians hand, more aggresive play, allows you to escape the hand if raised, may take the pot down, build a bigger pot, still OOP. Each play has its merits but in the situation where you are WA?WB, I think the pot control aspect of check calling is better, but I hate being in the dark on a hand. Leading is very close IMO, it just depends a lot on the villian and how hero feels in the hand. |

Re: another let\'s discuss on all streets ... turn especially
I fold turn as played. You are not beating a decent ace anymore. A-10 has you beat, A-J has you beat, A-Q you split, A-K has you beat. What do you beat? Not to mention 10-J or KQ has you beat. If the only hand you can beat is top pair with a 9 kicker that is a sign to get out of pot if the other guy makes a claim to it. If he bets his hands and dont not get out of line much I fold this turn.

What do you do if he pots the turn? How about if he 1/2 pots turn, and bets big on the river? Tough hand to play OOP. I usually reraise preflop.

Isura, you usually reraise preflop here.
Like what? $5? Gimme some sample lines if you reraise to 5 pf, get the call, and same board. Thanks - I'm trying to learn to be more comfortable/assertive with good hands OOP. JC |

Re: another let\'s discuss on all streets ... turn especially
Check-calling doesn't control the pot well enough in this situation, for all you know he's going to come out firing huge bets at you on the turn and river.
I think you need to bet out 1/2 pot and fold to a raise. If merely called, on the river rinse and repeat. |

I will do it if a combination of the below hold. - I've been playing tight (relative to the table) and not too aggressive. - Limpers are loose, but fold to large preflop bets - The raiser is reasonable (not too aggro) and fairly aggressive preflop. - No one is playing back at me, and they are folding to my cont. bets. I normally make it around $6 preflop (pot-sized raise). Usually everyone folds and it's an easy profit. If I get called, I usually don't make a cont. bet with just overcards. Playing one pair gets a bit tricky, but I usually look to get to showdown cheaply by checking the flop. I dunno if that makes any sense. |

But if you're gong to call turn thinking you're ahead you're calling that river. He also could have hit 89 as that's a hand I'd open raise in the CO EDIT: whoops, didn't realize it was limped to him. 89 doesn't look like a possibility |
