Read on SB (i.e. would he bet 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]s)? Against most I'm folding the turn.

You've picked up a gutshot but i'm not thrilled about this hand right now. You've done all you can to win it, time to fold. Best case you have 3As, 3Q's and 3 J's...which is 9 outs and i'm being rather optimistic about your Q's so probally about 7 outs, which is a fold given the size of the pot

Alright check it out. On the turn you're getting 1:6.5 (plus implied odds) to 7 outs (A and J). Then the Q hits the river. Damnit, I think I would probably call here too getting 1:8.5. Ugh this hand is ugly.

6.5:1 with 7 outs isn't a fold I can make. Now, I probably wouldn't assign 7 outs to hero on the turn though. 2 pair is a decent possibility (maybe 15-20% of the time) I think, and that REALLY hurts your A outs.

Without a read on an opponent I would probably play it the exact same. However, even if I've only played 20 or so hands with somebody, I'd probably fold the turn if I didn't notice anything weird from them earlier.
