I love when top pair gets raised on the turn.

[Warik]

Because I have no idea what the hell to do, especially since my opponent has played a whopping 5 hands.

It seems as though every time I get raised on the turn with top pair or less, there's a good chance I'm hopelessly beat.

Is there a 6-max turn raise secret someone I haven't figured out yet?

I would not fold. He might have sited ace of spades. I would play same on all streets.

You played it perfectly fine, imo. The only other line to take is to not 3 bet the turn, and I'm weak enough where that is something I'd probably do. I just see two pair check/calling and then check/raising much more than a decent Ace or a pair and flush draw.

then why 3-bet?

calling is ok in these games, especially with no read AND position.

I wouldn't fold the turn because I think more than 15% of the time someone is bluffing with a flush draw or overplaying a pair of aces or bluffing with a gutshot straight draw or something else.

I wouldn't three-bet though because I think you're ahead much less than 50% of the time.

My very amateurish guess is that you are ahead about 20-30% of the time.

I would have called the turn raise, then raised the river. Less likely to get reraised by a better hand.
