Why would you call the turn bet if you're going to fold on the end?

Flop would've been a great time to bet and see if he had a diamond.

#4 12-01-2005, 02:21 AM

Because I made a mistake in not betting on the flop to see whether or not he had a diamond. I didn't want to raise the turn because I wanted a cheap showdown, on the turn he could've had anywhere from a Kx/Xd to TxTd...

No. Bizarre.

Bet/Fold the flop. If you're not going to do that, either fold the turn or shove the turn and hope to God your third-nut flush is best.

Calling the turn and folding the river is insane -- if you thought your jack-high flush was good enough to call the turn, why not the river? Your hand had no chance of improvement post-turn. Either push or fold, don't give 400 chips away and THEN fold.

the best possible card comes for you on the turn, and you fold to an all-in bet.

given that, you might as well have folded on the turn and saved yourself 400 chips - what were you hoping to come?

A check.

This is exactly why I have started folding TT and JJ to reraises (obviously unless in the later stages). Unless I the raise is small enough to continue with set value (rarely), never call.

I would probably fold in your case. Villian looks like keen and a furher raise is likely preflop, or certainly a lot of post flop action. You canno bet with any confidence so let it go.

If a low flop comes out you have no idea if you are ahead or not, will he have a higher pocket? If flop above J comes out then you have no idea if he has hit.

Folding JJ in his spot for only 150 more is a big mistake.

Bet the flop. It would give you the information to keep you from such an awkward place on future streets. Other than that its ok.

I am wondering, What card were you looking for on the river that would have made you call a push?
