Default Re: TPTK with resistance on the turn.....???

[ QUOTE ]
You raise because you want to:

a) Protect your hand (make villains pay for draws)
b) Get value from worse hands
c) You don't have a hand but think the opponent will fold
d) Disguise a drawing hand

On a flop like this where you pair a high face card you're WA/WB, villain has 2-3 outs or has you crushed. Because of this, I think it's essential just to call the flop bet to keep worse hands (pairs, weak Q's) in the hand and give villain the chance to keep bluffing. The only draw on the flop is TJ but in my opinion you don't need to raise just to protect against it. Hence I'd just call the flop bet and call/bet the turn.

As played, this is a tough spot as villain will most likely shove on the river. Villain's bet is either a monster or a weak Q making a blocking bet. I call and fold to a big river bet, don't see him betting Q's on the river so his bet would either be air or the nuts.

Exactly against a hand like J10 you want to raise because it's a drawin hand. If you don't raise his donkbet he has the correct odds to keep drawin and you don't want that. Besides if you don't raise you give villain control of the hand and you won't know where you are in the hand.
