are you calling a bet? i wish you would include that with your post. if youre calling a bet then i think bet/folding is much better. im confused on your preflop and both flop plays however, but those are read based so they cant be debated by me.

I am interested in the plan here as well Justin. What are you doing if she bets the turn?

yeah sorry I was calling a bet on the river. I wasn't sure if she'd call if I bet so I thought it was better to try to get her to bet. I think I was wrong.

What does everyone think about betting the turn instead of checking?

Online, a lot of suspicious Ace high hands will call. Dunno about this lineup though.

as hero was telling me this hand i remember was soon as he got to the turn i yelled "donk bet!" and than i thought about it and still favored a bet-fold on the turn. bet-fold in live games is a great tool for the best players.

river bet....CO folds or shows A high and you win the pot?

i'd donk the turn live.....fold to a raise.

"A limp is correct at this point mostly because of the loose passive lady to my left who limps with roughly 2/3 of her hands."

By "2/3 of her hands," I assume you mean 2/3 of the time she has cards, not 2/3 of the time she see a flop. That being the case, don't the pots get raised behind her more frequently?

Your assumption is correct, 2/3 of the time she has cards, and she rarely raises. The table at this time was playing very limpy after she would limp. I'd say my limp was only marginally bad even knowing that she folded.

You see all the trouble you're having with this hand? That's why you fold preflop. I think you know this, but it's worth mentioning again. OOP w/ a weak hand vs a somewhat aggressive opponent who raised preflop... ugh. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Since you called the raise, you must think there is a fair chance that your opponent raised the flop with nothing. It would be nice to know if you thought she'd also bet the turn with nothing... were you planning to call a turn bet?

If you were, then you'd be better off 3-betting the flop and leading the turn. Your goal here is to represent a bigger hand than you actually have in the hopes of folding all the unimproved high cards she might rais eon the flop.

If you're planning to fold the turn, then you play is a lot more interesting and the river just comes down to whether or not she'll call with ace high. Most do and I suggest betting the river.

good luck.
