How on earth can you drop this on the turn? You're getting monster odds to fill up, if you're not already ahead (though you most likely are not).

Yes, that's a bad card and you're probably behind, but I play this exactly the same way (though with a strong read I might be able to fold on the end; it'd have to be VERY STRONG).

I like how you played this, I think folding the turn is too weak and three betting might be overkill against a passive player.

Thank you. I think I am hitting some major variance. I don't mean to rant, but I just moved up to 1/2 and couldn't believe how bad the players were. It was like playing for nickles and dimes at pacific. I think I'm gonna like it here. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

40 kittens die a horrible painful death if you fold this turn

Looks fine. You've been around long enough that this one should be obvious. I hope you're not just posting bad beats.

I think I play this the same way. BB could have a King, but he could also have JJ or TT or Two Pair or be bluffing, so I am not convinced he has you beat. At the same time, 3-betting and/or raising the river with that board is a little much. Get to the river cheaply and hope for the best.
