I agree. The typical 10/20 player never, ever folds J7 here.

I never said he would.

Man, I am really lost on semi-bluffing. I guess I expect people to fold far more often than they do. If we have some random blank turn, TStone is saying we have extremely little fold equity. Does this mean that most of the time hands like 78, 79, 7T, A3, K3 (barring the K turn), 22 don't fold to the turn raise? Or is it not likely that they play the way they have so far? Should I be calling down if I have one of those hands as villain? If this board was slightly less coordinated, I would be able to name a ton more hands, but unfortunately, any other hand I could come up with has a gutshot.


If this board was 359 two tone, would you like the turn raise more on most turns?

this is not a semibluff. its a value raise bc much of your opponents range is drawing hands.

At 10/20 I can see just about any player checkraising the flop with just about any draw (this includes A6), capping the flop and turn and hitting on the river to beat your top set

grr FYP. Seriously though, if you don't see this at the party 10/20 games you are either not being observant or you haven't played enough. The modus operandi for the majority of players is to checkraise the flop with a draw.
