Should I have titled it "finds itself in big pot" just to make you happy?

Anybody have anything useful to say on the turn action?

You should have made the flop 15 to go. Your raise is very bad because it gives good immediate and implied odds to your two opponents to beat you, and it also puts you in a position on the turn where you often have to fold the best hand.

I'm not sure why you followed up your flop minraise with a turn check. The only valid reason would be to crai, but if that were your goal you wouldnt have made this post? As it is I would not crai this turn given your flop play against anyone but the most predictable lagtard. Instead, just bet again &amp; hope you can get all in.
