Waiting for turn to protect = no good?

Alright. The pot is pretty big. I can see waiting to the turn to raise for better protection. However, he'd better raise the turn.

[ErrantNight]

fair enough. if you want to wait to raise a non-A non-K turn i'll buy that. but not raising the turn after calling on the flop kills a CUTE kitten.

I'd raise the flop to see where we are. Villan could also have JJ TT 99 and AK or could be a total donk who likes to cap preflop with anything s00ted.

Grunching:

Raise the flop to isolate CO. We do not want to give a cheap 4th street with a draw heavy board.

The CO is doing our work for us by betting and giving us a chance to get rid of UTG & UTG+1. Raise here, but expect the guy who is backing into a 4 flush to call.

Call the river as the pot is large.

You probably trapped yourself into getting beaten by a flush or straight because you were worried about raising into the CO's set or bigger pocket pair. I do the same time from time to time, but the best cure for me has been to raise the flop and river in these situations.

Good luck.

Not raising this flop keeps you in the dark about what your opponents may have. If you get re-raised, at least then you can start figuring out what you are up against.

No idea what CO has, but looks like UTG had AKs/AQs

Grunch. You haven't given us much to work with -- any reads or stats on villan? Assuming the "typical" player at .25/.5 I'd raise the flop, since there is a decent chance that this is unimproved AK. If he 3-bets, I'd probably call down and expect to lose. Anybody find a fold here if villan 3-bets the flop?

:grunch:

I would have raised the flop. The play would be be much different afterwards.

You should have raised one of those streets to eliminate suck-outs and to start defining ppl's hands.
