decent turn raise
My first short-handed post. Hello all.
Hero is BB with 76o, SB and Mp are both fairly tight aggressives. Mp calls, sb calls and BB checks. Flop: K,8, 7 rainbow. checked around turn: 5. SB bets, hero raises... I'm pretty new to shorthanded, should I have bet the flop here? Is the turn raise ok? |

Re: decent turn raise
What limit is this?
You can bet the flop but checking is not bad as well I like the turn raise |

He could also be (correctly) taking a stab at this pot with nothing. You have a pair and a strong draw, but taking this down before showdown would be sweet. Raising also lets you shut out the third player, who again could fold a better hand less than kings or a draw. (Straight draws cannot call a turn raise profitably.) |

Re: decent turn raise
Yeah, raise that turn.
But if we bet the flop, what is our action thereafter? |

Re: decent turn raise
If you knock out MP on the turn, don't improve on the river and SB checks the river, I'll usually check thru, figuring to be good a little less than half the time.
