Re: turn spot
 

If it's a live game it's pretty easy to know what type of drooling idiot you are up against. If he's 40-ish, likes to watch football and crack open a beer, etc, then he knows that big cards don't like multiway action, so he raises an ace every time to get out the riff raff and prevent a suckout. You can tell he is this type by looking at him and/or watching him raise for an hour.

He is still a bad player because he's not aware how much a weak ace sucks in multiway pots, that 87o isn't drawing to much, etc.

I'm obviously terrible but why is this flop not a raise?

because i don't have anything and the board is paired and i'm getting 3bet a lot and that sure would suck.

Re: turn spot
 

I like raising here. You're about even or maybe even slightly behind equity wise against the expert, but you're way ahead of the caller. Its a spot where u can afford to make a super thin value bet since you have a lot of ways to split or win if you are in fact behind. I think the pot is too large for either opponent to be folding slightly worse hands and of course there are all kinds of draws that you're charging. I'll probably check behind a blank river.

Them being this aggro PF doesn't seem congruent with them being retarded or with them limping.
