opinions on the turn bet? at first glance I don't like it

[/ QUOTE ]

isn't this a case where you can bet-call the turn and check-fold unimproved if he bets the river... this costs the same as when you check-call the turn and kind of have to check-call the river as well since you gave up your initiative. or would you check-call the turn and check-fold the river?

Every time I check in this situation, I end up giving JTo a free card, which looks a lot like what villain could have given the action, IMHO. Meh.

I'm torn, as a raise would make me puke.

i thin its a pretty easy bet. he will likely call you with any pair save a 6. lay down to a raise unless he is aggro or capable.

I echo this except I would be calling a raise from unknowns and folding only if I have a read of passive. Of course I'm all used to 10/20.

unless hes aggresive, I just fold to the raise. 7-1 on a broadway board with 2nd pair and the idiot end of a gutshot.

Do we have to call?

imo this is a pretty damn good reason to check the turn. 2 pair might be good, trips might be good, straight might be good

I think it's close, as IMO any Q or J is good, and a 9 may be as well. Thus, I puke if raised.

good point. I just hate the thought of giving a free card here tho, and being forced to check/call 2 streets if he bets. So I guess maybe btspider does have the best line.

we might still have the best hand and he'll give up his semi-bluff on the river.
