Default I like this one

I have AJss in LMP and open raise in a party full 5/10 game. I am 3-bet by the small blind and I call. No notes for the SB.

FLOP- A,10,3 (suits irrelevant)

SB bets and I call.

Turn- 5

SB checks and I check.

River- 3

SB bets and I call. He shows 88 and MHIG. THoughts? I like the turn check what do you all think? Thanks in advance.

I usually just call the flop here.

On the turn, once he checks I'd rather give him a chance to fold a hand with 4 or 5 outs. Free cards are bad. If you check the turn, I think you should raise the river.

I don't really. I think not betting the turn is a mistake. Although getting check raised sucks, so does missing a value-bet when he could be seeing a showdown. Yeah you could be dominated, but there are lots of hands he would 3-bet PF with that you are ahead.

This line was way too passive for me.

him checking the turn ABSOLUTELY SMELLS like weakness. i would def bet that here and then lead the river, as the SB will prolly check since u bet the turn.

I think he is going to call you down with his 88 most of the time here, and if he has some kind of draw he is going to pay on the turn but not the river.

That said, against an aggressive opponent who will always bluff the river with nothing, I really like the turn check. Against an unknown I prefer a bet.

I realize his checking the turn is weakness. I don't want him to fold a two outer which is what it seems like he has. If I would have bet the turn he would have most likely folded. Checking picked me up a river bet I believe.

I know once he checks the turn I am ahead. I am trying to get more money from him. Giving his most likely holding (pocket pair smaller than A) a free card is not a disaster.

He was not totally unknown I should say. I had been playing for around an hour and paying a little attention and in all of his altercations he seemed reasonable.
