Why raise the turn? It seems to me calling and just getting to showdown is much better, if we are planning on giving 2.5 BB worth of action at all.

I thought calling down was too weak. He may have a flush draw, pair, gutshot combo that I felt needed raising.

was that turn raise a misclick? or is this whole post an outline on how to fold the turn vs unknown? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

call/call/call and expect to lose was the plan from the flop right?

Why can't villain have KQ, KJ, JTs, QT ?

Why give him a chance to fold them?

Is he really going to fold those HU?

You folded top pair HU. I don't see why another player wouldn't lay down less than that to a turn raise.

I tend to agree...if he's betting a worse hand, let him. Especially given that he's an unknown, I'd like to get to a showdown here and get the info if nothing else. This looks like a pretty textbook WA/WB situation to me, and the river is unlikely to change which one it is.

[toss]

Eh fine I'll take the WA/WB line. I guess I don't need to be finding lines to fold TP HU.
