AJs, party 5/10

Reads for the hand: SB is TAG, 20/12 over 300 hands or so. The other two are total idiots, very loose, fairly passive, but will sometimes bet for no reason.

Seems like a good spot to raise the turn and knock out JJ, TT, AQ or whatever the SB has and the BB as well. Hopefully the MP player is on a draw and you can just check behind on the river.

Yeah, I think that would have been the best course of action. If an A comes on the river, what do you do?

Please explain why raising it on the turn is preferable to folding?

So you don't have to make a turn call with sketchy odds. Also DO NOT CAP pf vs this guy with AJ. Bad idea. He is out of position so I think you are drawing to an ace or less about 90% of the time.

If you're raising the turn, it's to protect your hand. NOT because you want to give yourself correct odds on the river.

Do you really think MP is betting his draw here enough to make a turn raise profitable? That board and the 4 people in the pot make this seem like a bad spot to bet a draw hoping to win it there.
