I posted this hand because when I ran it through twodimes, I was very surprised at how the equity was on the flop to the turn.

What looks like a terrible turn for me, and what looks like a good turn if you're in villain's shoes is actually an excellent turn for me, giving his holdings. I go from a 40/60 dog to a 60/40 favorite.

He was holding A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. From his point of view, I think this is a completely reasonable line. I also think if I would've check-raised all in, he would've been forced to lay it down.

I wonder how many more of these 'terrible' aces on the turn actually have given me the lead in a hand when I had a good kicker with the ace.
