you should bet the turn. i think a raise is also appropriate on the river, but its close.

I don't see the logic in not betting the turn. Unless you are going for a check raise, in which case, I also think that is incorrect. I think you missed bets. The river, I think a raise is correct, although it is close since EP will often fold and button will often overcall, in which case I think smooth calling the river is fair.

I don't get the checking the turn through though.

Are you worried about the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]? Only one way to find it.

This is how I would play it. Everyone is either drawing dead or you are drawing dead, so there is really no need to get aggressive. By not betting the turn you a) save $$$ if you get check/raised or raised and b) might induce a bluff on the river from a hand that would fold to a turn bet.

I don't think betting the turn in this case is bad as it probably has value, but this is the correct mindset behind these hand. If you held J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for example, your play would be perfect without question.

I'd like to see a bet on the turn. I like the call on the river to encourage an overcall from the button.

what is your plan if the button raises

Button here is the main concern. While his range is probably larger than just AA[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on the turn, he's probably going to fold all but ones that are beating us, which will raise, and force us to call down with a losing hand.

If we check, he will bet the A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and check all others, gaining us information that we need.

As for the river, we know button doesn't have A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], but EP might have been trying some stupid fancy C/R with his A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] , so we call to try and get an overcall so we lose less when behind.

In the heat of it, I would probably have bet out the turn, but I think I like it here, given the relative position of the PF capper to us.
