Default Re: Limp Reraised Preflop

I don't think I would have called the turn. It's not likely you'll win unimproved (I guess he has an overpair), so you're drawing. If you take a positive stance and count your overcards as 6 full outs (which they probably aren't, tho a paired board is good for you) you still need 1:6.7 odds to draw. You're not getting that, and even with implied odds you're only at 1:6.5. And that's assuming your overcards are 6 outs; if he has AK, QQ, KK you only have 3, AA drawing nearly dead (plus the unlikely hands of 44, 77, 88). I guess it depends on your read. Certain players I call to showdown, because they frequently show me ace-rag highcard. But this is a calling station who is betting and raising. If you call the turn you also commit yourself to calling the river if you miss. Because basically by calling the turn you're saying he's bluffing, so you have to showdown. Guess you won this pot with an ace on the river?
