Great subject. I looked at it first thing with happy thoughts of Mutoid Man going through my head.

Anyway, I would wait and raise the turn when something blanky comes off...and I would consider the T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] blanky in this case. If none of the players are tricky I think you can safely fold to a turn 3-bet. The river should sort of play itself depending on what flavor of card comes off.

Absolute must 3-bet the flop. Press the field between you and the flop raiser w/2-bets.

Once you have called; I'd go for a turn c/r if it's check to P3. Ok, now P1 stop-n-goes and P3 calls w/a lesser overpair or A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]over-x, this pot is fcking huge and you are sure P1 has got a set/str8, I can only make this fold live. Consider this, however, over calling in this size is not that big of an error.

Peace,
Joe Tall

I would have called on the flop like you did and gone for the check-raise, like you did and followed through with it. P1 probably just has something like T9 or whatever. If you just called i wouldn't hate you for it, though.

Default Results and Comments.

I almost forgot about this post.

Anyway, I guess I can't play Aces very well because I folded on the turn. I figured I was done because the player that doesn't normally bet was suddenly betting after being capped preflop and raised on the flop. His turn bet was strange to me. Strange enough to make me fold.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a showdown either which also makes me sick, but that's what I get for playing this hand badly. I figured I was beat anyhow but there should've been a call by someone.

Weird turn bets after someone bets the flop and checks the turn to someone are usually the norm. A flush wouldn't surprise me, but neither would bottom pair with no draw.

Check-folding the turn to 1 bet is not good unless you're playing against ultra-predictable opponents.
