I'm not folding for just another $5.

agree. lets say he pops it to 15 or 20. is this still a call/re-eval river scenario?

It's a tough spot. I mean, folding a hand as strong as AK to a turn checkraise seems exploitable as hell. If we're folding that, what the hell could we have that we're calling with? Just KK, 77, and quad 3's, I guess.

Then again, turn checkraising exclusively with monster hands is also theoretically exploitable, which is why we're considering folding.

To be honest, though, at the table I probably call the turn checkraise to $15-20, with the plan of seeing how much Villain bets on the river. I mean, that paired card on the board is just so low . . .

The problem is, though, Villain will usually either bet big on the river and get me to fold, meaning I've paid off a big turn checkraise without even getting to see his hand, or he'll bet $15-20 or so again and I'll pay off his K7o [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

So folding to a big turn checkraise might be the play.
