Turn Decision

[Nick C]

I'd have to have a really strong read that Villain only checkraises monsters on the turn to fold here. And even if I did have that read, I probably wouldn't trust it enough and would call anyway.

One interesting thing about the situation on the turn is that in one way the checkraise shows a lot of strength and in another way it doesn't. There doesn't seem like a whole lot to connect with on that board, so when Villain checkraises, you have to wonder if he has a set. On the other hand, it's possible he's thinking the board missed you and his 88 or AT is beating your AK.

It sounds like you think Villain would have put in action on the flop with one-pair hands, though, and I agree that that's the approach many (but not all) players with JT or 77 would favor.
