Villan in this hand is 51/10 over about 55 hands and pretty fishy...

What do you guys do on the turn here, are you pushing, large reraising, or just calling?

If he's fishy then our FE is basically nil but our implied odds shouls be through the roof.
WIth this in mind I call and bet AI if my str8 lands or as much as I'd think he'd call if a /images/graemlins/club.gif lands.

As for the flop I don't think raising is a good idea here as I said we've very little FE against this villain.

Flop raise is fine, but if you do it make it $2.75 or so.

On the turn I would just call.

OK I'm willing to be convinced otherwise but IMO raising achieves nothing with a FD unless you have FE.

1) You have fold equity.

2) It allows you to check behind the turn.

3) It builds a pot and makes it easier to stack him if he has a 9.

I like raising the flop because the pot is currently so small and it will make it easier for us to win a big juicy pot when we hit. Also we have position so when he donks here we can just call instead of getting check raised, and also if he doesn't donk out like that we have the option of taking a free card.
