Re: 50NL- top pair
 

I don't really like your line here much.

I don't mind the flat call in the SB without stats from Villain. But I'd lead the flop, and lead the turn and fold to a reraise.

As played I think I'd fold. And as played I'd much prefer to lead the turn when the 2nd T comes.

Re: 50NL- top pair
 

you should fold preflop. c/c on the flop is perfect. c/f on the turn is fine, too. but calling AJs out of position against an UTG preflop raiser is not a good play preflop.

Re: 50NL- top pair
 

lead flop, lead turn, fold if raised.

folding PF isnt horrible either without stats.

Re: 50NL- top pair
 

I like a c/c, lead turn line -- but I'm not sure how good it is.

It gets good value from cbets, it protects/gets value from worse on the turn, and lets us re-evaluate river if called ... where I usually throw out a 1/2psb b/f.

The paired T will make all the overpairs stop and think. If they raise, you can be fairly sure you're beat on the turn and fold.

Re: 50NL- top pair
 

that line would be better when the T didnt pair. When the T pairs, c/f is good. He won't fire again unless you're beat and now you're ahead of even fewer hands for him to pay you off on the turn if you lead.
