[1/2] Big pot TPGK : To protect or to wait the turn ?
 

SB is TAG (20/20), and very aggressiv post flop.
UTG is a good TAG (27/18/1.7).

Must I wait the turn to protect my hand or just raise this flop ?

how does raising protect your hand here?

So, my explanation was bad, the question is : to protect or to value ?

I think i just call vs the capper, the caller could also have AK AA or KK here. Not like ur gonna get either of them to fold for one bet with any PP with a club or hand with a gutshot typically.

I just call down, and bet when chkd to. Raising gains us basiclly nothing but allows to play worse pps almost perfect

Re: [1/2] Big pot TPGK : To protect or to wait the turn ?
 

worse pps are going to play perfectly anyways by not putting in any more bets after they get called on the flop

I think you're right, and with the SB being overaggressive and the TAG most likely on a draw, weaker A or K I'm going to be raising this somewhere.

The problem with raising the flop though is if the SB 3bets or check/raises the turn, were always showing down and this is probably not a good thing. I would just call the flop here.

I dont raise ever..

You dont want to fold out pocket pairs less than KK (they probabily will to agression), and your behind to a large percentage of SB's range. They may make crying calls hoping you have a draw if you wait to the turn.

If you raise you will be paying off more hands than you will get payed off by, and the coordinated/flushy nature of the board means you should probabily pay off.
