I would usually bet, but I dont play 5/10. I have people calling me with no real draws all the time and want to charge them when I have the best hand. With that aggression factor I would assume hes raising a king.

His stats dont look like a typical auto peeler to me so I think our fold equity is nil.

Hes pretty aggressive so we can expect to be raised on this turn a fair amount of the time, but I tend to think he raises a K on the flop pretty often. Combine that with his wide range, the presence of multiple draws and we actually appear to have a ton of equity. If you think you have any fold equity at all I'm very tempted to bet for value.

His river play is also worth a thought. He probably bets often when checked to, but how often when we hit can we successfully c/r? How often will he bet when checked to on the river with a worse hand than ours UI? What im getting at is that when we improve, we improve with scary cards that get scarier when combined with a turn c/c and were not particularily likly to get any value from hoping he bluffs.

This situation looks like a routine turn check in some ways but the specifics make me want to bet this one.

Default Turn action

I thought he could have called with anything from a pair to gutshots on the flop, and since I didn't want to give hands like T8 or QJ a free river, and since I have up to 15 outs if behind, I bet. He raised, I called. River came J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and I check-folded.

A couple of questions.
1: He will raise a king, flush draw and straight on the flop more often than on the turn?
2: He could have a ton of hands that I don't want to give a free card too given his looseness. His flop call doesn't really give us much information?
3: Are we bluff-raised here a significant amount of time?
4: What do we do on the turn if the villain had been in the BB instead of on the button, and had check-called the flop?
