Agression level check for this hand - how did I do?

[tallstack]

SB seemed pretty laggy and appeared aggressive on some earlier flops. I had only played about 10 or 15 hands with him, though. UTG seemed tight and passive.

Final Pot: 12.50 BB

On the flop I chose to call the 3-bet with the intention of raising any safe turn. I figured that I didn't want to see any A, K, 9 or spade, so my hand would be better defined on the turn. I am wondering about my play on the turn and river. My read is that the SB is laggy, but how far do you go on these streets?

Thanks,

Dave

Just call the turn.

I like it, I couldn't find the fold button here

I'd call the turn and raise a non-scary on the river.

Interesting. Do you call a river 3-bet, given this river card?

Are you asking me if I'd fold a straight for one more bet closing the action on the river? can you say crying call...

[tallstack]

Thanks for the reply. Do you think that I am behind on the turn too often here? I thought that the chance I was drawing dead was quite a bit less than the chance that he had a pair, 2 pair, or a strong draw when he bet the turn.

Thanks, with my weak read that he was laggy I couldn't see any way to fold this one. I considered raising the river, but considering the previous action, I didn't want to get 3-bet three streets in a row.

I am still surprised that many are against my turn raise. I am generally on the passive side compared to most posters here, so I am surprised that I am on the aggressive side on the turn here.

SB showed Q8 with no spade and MHIG. This hand confirmed his LAGGY status for me. I felt at the time that there was a good chance I was ahead still on the river, but that I didn't think I would get called on my raise nearly enough compared to how often I would get 3-bet for the third street in a row.

I was concerned that I played the hand too passively, but the responses say otherwise. I am particularly interested that many did not like the turn raise. I am thinking that this is hugely read dependent, but the presense of all those draws on the board still makes me think that the raise has a lot of merit.

When I posted, I expected to get some people saying that I should have put in more bets, but the generel thoughts are that I should have put in less. I will have to post a few more situations.

Thanks to all who responded.

I either cap the turn or raise the river. It's up to you, but you need another bet here especially if he's LAG.

Edit: I take it back. Cap the turn. I like that much better.
