Final Pot: 16.16 BB

When UTG bet into me on the flop, I was pretty sure I was drawing, so I didn't raise. CO's raise on the flop could mean a lot of things - Split Q pair, 2 Pair, OESD, FD. So I called ready to reevaluate on the turn. When the Ah came on the turn, I didn't know what to do. It completes the FD or a JK OESD, but I didn't want to give a free card, so I bet. Then when CO raised, I was pretty sure I was behind, but I called getting 12 to 1 thinking I had maybe 3-4 outs to a straight or a better two pair. By the time the river came the pot was so big that I thought I had to call hoping he overplayed a pair+draw.

Can I play this any differently? Standard? Fold to the turn raise?


Thx.

I would give serious consideration to just calling the turn bet/river.

Getting raised behind not only sucks because you're probably behind, it also will push out your padding, the UTG. It didnt on this occasion, but in general I try to keep the overcalls to maximise my winnings while minimising my contribution.

The exception is when they have the potential to outdraw you. We can't really protect against the fifth heart.

I could also find a fold if CO is passive.
