Turn: ($20.60) 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif T/images/graemlins/spade.gif 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif (3 Players)

<font color="black">No read on MP, &lt;10 hands of stats. CO is 61/0/0.42/59. Turn bet leaves me in a tricky spot.

I can flat call the Turn and re-evaluate the River - obv benefit here is that I know exactly where I stand (if I don't improve I'm def not beating anything).

I can fold and nit it up.

I can shove, which IMO leaves me zero FE considering pot will be ~$45 and $10 to call.

Also feel free to flame Flop play if so inclined. Thx

You could squueze pf, but I don't mind calling here at all.

Flop is nice, it's insane that they both called.

Turn I probably call, as they aren't folding to a shove here.

River I give up unimproved, and felt any nine or spade.

You've done fine so far.

From the looks of it ("Hero" is in red on the turn), you raised the turn. That's questionable, I think, but you have so many potential outs with your flush draw, gutshot, and draws to two-pair and trips that I doubt it costs you much. In fact, given how loose CO is (it's possible he's not stepping on your outs much at all), it may even be a +EV raise in this 3-way pot.

However, I suspect simply calling might be even more +EV. Most of the cards that improve you will look scary, it's true, but my guess is that you'll still get paid something on the river.

Well played until turn.

I simply call turn and fold to a blank on river.

We really want to see the straight hit because the other two villains may have a higher flush draw since they're both sticking around. I'd be tempted to just call down on a flush and maybe even fold to an all in.

not to hijack the thread or anything...but can you squeeze in NL25? i always assumed everyone would call anyway and I never tried it.

i think people fold a lot if you make it pot-sized. obviously not a good play versus calling stations. really dependant on flow and opponents, some fold almost always. the other day i found a guy who called every 3bet i made pf, and then always folded to my cbet. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

i was gonna say "uck horrible flop raise" but i just spotted the gutshot too. OK.

def CC PF, flop goot, turn i would prob just call still. You're being donked into after raising the flop, you are looking to catch the river, your FE aint so hot. Just call.
