Default Re: Get to showdown.

generally I'd call down because this is a semibluff raise with a straight draw, or a free showdown raise with a lower pocket pair, a weaker T, or even like AQ. Maybe against some players you can call turn and fold river b/c they won't fire 2 with a worse hand. However against most I don't trust them enough. Hell this could even be a weaker king!

You are trying too hard to get to showdown, and not hard enough to get value out of your hand. TP is a monster in this situation, and his AF over 150 hands doesnt mean much. I probably c/r the flop. Sometimes I will C/R the turn. I am getting to showdown no matter what tho, so C/R turn might be a little scary if you dont wanna put in 3bets with a marginal holding like this.

Getting to showdown with one bet going in on each street is good if he plays raise or fold poker which would explain his high aggression factor. If i c/r the flop or turn then i feel i'm missing bets when he folds, which given the high aggression factor and my read that he plays ok poker, will be often.

This is a reason why i asked if a river c/r would be good here given i can safely fold to a 3 bet although i dont really understand the logic behind a river check/raise in general.

I'd just like to point out my blind play isnt that great and i because of this i may have no idea what i'm talking about.
