Default Tricky turn decision, trickier river

No reads except stats which say this is pretty loose and passive over a small sample size.

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Flop: (9.50 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, MP checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls, MP folds.

Very weird turn bet.. without a read I'd call it and see what his deal is.

I'd play it the same. This move is almost always some pair. You have enough outs to call on the turn, and he doesn't have a K every time so the river is fine.

The turn call is close, but I make it. I'd give you about 4 outs for the gutshot and 1.5 between your A and Q. So with approximately 5.5 outs, and getting 7:1 it's just a call. River is easy call.

I think the turn decision is the trickier of the two actually.

River is an easy call.
turn is a call too....but you actually have to think about it.

Heh, I just thought to myself that the turn was trickier than the river.

6.75BB pot, can expect to make up say 1.5BB when we hit, go we're getting 8.3:1 on a call. With 4 pretty clean straight outs, we only need a total of 1 out between our queens and aces, and it seems like we have well over 1 effective out from the 6 pair cards. Why would you say this is so close?

I don't think the turn decision is particularly close.

I don't think either decision is tricky actually...but if I had to rate them I'd say the river-decision is easier to immediately see. you actually have to use a few brain-cells to determine to make that call on the turn.

It is a call but I think you are over discounting simply because monsters don't tend to play hands like this. So your pair outs are good more often than normal.
