Shill, please expand a bit on this. I imagine there are a number of people (me included) who may benefit from it. thx

here's my take, won't compare to brads, but I think this is a classic wait for the turn to raise. I'm 3 betting this preflop cause I want to see what utg is going to do. if he caps, i'm likely to check/fold the flop, but with him just calling, I'm opening up his range. I think you can toss out AA-QQ, maybe half the AK hands. I'm looking for a medium strength raising hand now from utg. my guess is AQ KQ or 99-JJ. I am playing any raggy flop, or any flop without and A or a K. When he calls the flop bet, I'm pretty much thinking I'm behind. on the turn, I'm likely to bet/fold, but I don't think that's correct.

Now, put yourself in UTG's shoes. You raise with KQs utg, and SB 3 bet's. Hmmm, ok, I'll call. Flop somes K high and SB still likes his hand. Well, I'm not folding top pair just yet. The turn is a brick, time to find out where I stand and throw a raise in there. If SB makes it 3 on the turn, I may have to let top pair go......if only I had a read.

I am getting out after the turn raise here. You are getting 7:1 on a turn call but only 4:1 effective odds on a calldown. I don't think you are good that much.

hi guys, i folded to the turn raise as i figured i was soundly behind most of the time here. i guess it wasn't the greatest playalong ever but i thought it showed how getting too aggressive with a marginal hand can get me into hot water when a couple overcards flop. also, being in position is important [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

for those who say check the turn--i have a question--isn't checking the turn going to induce villain to bet no matter what he has then i have to fold?

thanks for the replies everyone!
