Turn Trips on ugly board NL20

[patrick10]

sorry no HH converter

Effective stacks ~ $18
reads so far on villain (SB)- probably plays abit too loose PF. i usually assume players are donks unless proven innocent

1 limper, SB completes, i check in BB with Q7 diamonds

FLOP: A /images/graemlins/spade.gifT /images/graemlins/club.gifQ /images/graemlins/spade.gif ($0.6)

check, check, check

TURN: Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif

SB bet 0.2, HERO raise $0.5, UTG fold, SB call

River: J /images/graemlins/heart.gif ($1.60)

SB bets $2.80 , HERO...


In addition to river action, i would like to hear thoughts on turn play too: bet sizing especially, arguments for smoothcalling?

river? i think its pretty simple but perhaps a case could be made otherwise

make it $1 on the turn, if not a tad more. There is ALOT that will call you there. As for the river its a pretty easy fold, you really don't beat much

raise more on the Turn! Could be a lot of draws out here! He can call here for better than 4:1!!

yeah i assumed i would cop some for the tiny turn raise. my thinking was that i was ahead so i didnt want to just call; but at the same time i have practically the worst trips on a dangerous board.

The plan was to see river and make a small value bet on a safe card (no A, K, J or Spade)

I thought it was a fairly easy fold; i only beat Aces and bluffs and tied with other queens. i was wondering if anyone could make an argument for a call at all though

You can never call in this spot IMO, you can only really beat a bluff since no other hand would make this overbet.
The hand went wrong on the turn with the mini raise.
