NL400 - TPTK deep
 

I just sat a few hands before this and I have no history with villain. He seems like a pretty standard TAG over 20 or so hands.

I want to take each decision at a time in this one, so I'll post the rest of the hand later.

Raise more PF. I think I call here...

Might be weak, but call and check-fold to a good turn bet?

Re: NL400 - TPTK deep
 

fold

Re: NL400 - TPTK deep
 

Without a read against an unknown I call and re-evaluate the turn.

Ok, call seems pretty standard, which is what I did. Tannenj, if you want to elaborate on folding that would be cool - seems a bit weak to me.

Imo, the turn card didn't really change anything.

I have 2 questions.

a) Does anyone ever lead here for 1/2 pot? Thoughts on that...

b) What is our action if we check and villain bets 1/2 - 3/4 pot?

There is about $520 effective left.

nothing wrong with 3-betting pre obv but I call here pretty often.

I don`t like calling OOP without shoving/ betting 2/3 pot a blank turn

I think i like this, but are you calling an all in if the turn blanks and you fire, ud be getting decent odds but he probably doesnt think he has fold equity on a turn raise semi bluff
