Weird
 

BB is 38/18/2 over 300. My note on him is that he caps KQs preflop otb against a BB 3bet, so I strongly suspect he will 3bet preflop with AT+ here. MP has us beat close to 0% so his donations make a call much more appealing. BB donking a straight here seems a bit odd.

Seems like a straightforward turn raise. Are you asking if there is value in raising the river? It's close.

Anything but calling turn and river wouldn't enter my mind here.

Re: Weird
 

i'd put is range right around {t9,ahxh}. no way im raising the turn or river.

Re: Weird
 

I wouldn't raise the turn or river here, villain's turn play seems very strong to me.

you're going to bet there when checked to like 100% so I interpret his leading out as saying that his hand doesn't need protection so he wants MP to come along for the ride.

that being said I'm never folding TPGK for 1 bet at a time in a big pot when I see someone use a funny line. he probably turns up with a combo draw or AhXh or we improve on the river enough of the time

I agree with vma's assessment of his range, but I'd add A7 and broadway combo draws as well

Care to elaborate DD?

Like the others I am not raising this turn as I expect to see T9 too often and folding to a 3-bet is out of the question

Re: Weird
 

BB has weird bad LAG stats, we can eliminate all the good aces from his range, so we are basically holding top pair with the nut kicker against a weird/bad LAG who coldcalled the flop and bet the turn, and another guy who the OP says is just donating in this pot. If we give him a range of A2-A9 and T9 alone we are in good shape and the 3rd guy is padding the pot. Basically due to the 3rd player we are getting a great overlay, and the guy betting the turn is a weird bad player who just donk bet and everyone is just going to give him credit for the stone cold nuts?

I just don't see why T9 is such a likely hand in this spot.

Re: Weird
 

I think this is a call down not a raise. Here is how I see this more often than not he has 78 or 910. If he is donking an ace the only ones you are ahead of are (a2 -a6 and a9) thats 5 hands of which I doubt he donks most of those. The only other hands I see that donk and you are ahead of are Jx of hearts.

Yeah. I used to not raise here, then PT told me I put more bets in w/AQ here on the F/T and i realized how dumb that is.
