Flop top 2 pair

[se2schul]

I flopped top 2 pair, but the turn brought a third heart and the villain led out. Do I let go of top 2 pair or call down as I did? Note: in this position, I'll often fold AT PF but decided to play it this time.

Sorry for raw HH... Bison's converter isn't working properly. I'm using it from http://www.selachian.com/tools/bison...converter.cgi. If there's another working version of the converter, please let me know.

Raise or fold PF.

The rest is fine. Folding the turn or river would be awful.

Remove the word "texas " from the beginning of the hand history to get the converter to work properly.

I'd prefer to fold this PF in the future. Is raising the turn or river an option?

Also, thanks to the other poster for the info about fixing the converter.

I would at least consider raising the turn, yes.

[GrunchCan]

Open-limping preflop with a TP-type hand is bad. Open for a raise or fold.

I woulnd't raise either the turn or river, becasue I don't want to reopen the betting. I think we'll get 3-bet more often than called. Show this hand down cheaply.

I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] folding preflop.

I think we're ahead of Ax way more often than we're behind a flush here. I like raising the turn, calling down if he 3-bets.

I want value from his Ax, damnit.

I don't play this UTG in a 10-handed game unless I have excellent reads on the majority of my opponents, and then I am raising when I come in.

Depending on my opponent, I'll usually pop a raise on the turn as well, but call down to further aggression. You could easily see an offsuit A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Broadway x here.

[Duerig]

A bunch of people have already said it, but I fold this pf.

I would consider raising the river. You are probably not up against a flush (I'd expect to be check raised) but I wouldn't want to raise the turn and stop him from bluffing.

EDIT: With 3 people in on the turn, I actually like raising the turn.
