Re: Waiting for turn to protect
I blame my reply on the OP:
[ QUOTE ]
2 hours in, table started playing very loose for past half hour, 7 - 9 to see the flop. Across from me are some lag types who have been bumping it with pretty weak hands so the pots are big. One them (UTG+1) really thinks he can sense weakness and reliably bets after a street is checked through. The rest are passive ATMs.
Hero is ATo in MP3
Preflop:
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, Hero calls, SB completes, BB checks
Flop: T 7 5 (5 SB)
UTG checks, UTG+1 bets , MP2 calls, MP3 calls, Hero calls..
It could just be frustration sinking in, but I know a raise does not protect. I think that UTG+1 will bet the turn, So my line is check here, if a non less than T falls or if I hit I raise him, else reconsider when the action gets to me. This way I exploit a bigger edge on the turn with less risk. Does p160 of SSHE apply here, or am I just wimping out?

I read fast and took the above, now-bolded, info when I replied. Had UTG (or the SB/BB obv) bet, calling the flop is the play. With UTG+1 betting, raising to knock out the 3 behind is the play.
Raising preflop is a spew, folks. Slow down here w/ATo.
